 Excellent value, and warmer than expected February 25, 2008

First of all, buyers should know that this comforter is actually packaged as the Charter Club Appalachian II. Charter Club is a high quality (if not quite top-of-the-line) store brand from Macy's, and the Appalachian II is one of their discontinued items (it's not clear why). Though Amazon does not mention it, the packaging describes the comforter as "light weight," with the further description as follows: "Ideal for summertime, warm climates, and those who prefer light coverage at night."
Upon seeing that, I was disappointed, and annoyed that Amazon's listing didn't provide this information. But before sending it back, I decided to give it a try, and after using it for a couple of weeks, I have to admit that I'm impressed with the warmth it generates. I sleep in an unheated converted third floor bedroom, where winter temperatures have been dipping into the upper 20s, but paired with flannel sheets and a mid-weight blanket, this comforter has been more than warm enough. I don't think I've turned the space heater on since I bought it. It's likely not warm enough for Vermont or Minnesota, but it's fine for winter in Portland, OR, and anything warmer would be too much for most of the year. The construction also seems to be of good quality, and although Amazon doesn't mention it, the package says it is machine washable (in a commercial machine) and filled with hypo-allergenic EcoDown (standard on qood quality comforters, but not universal).
All in all, it really seems like a very good comforter, and at the price I paid ($59 on Amazon), it is an absolute steal. I looked around quite a bit, and couldn't find anything remotely comparable for less than twice the price. Four stars for quality and warmth, and a fifth for value.
A very good comforter for the price! February 25, 2008

We've had experiences with several other down comforters around this price point (~$60.00), and this is by far the best of them! We purchased two, one for ourselves and one as a gift, and now we're going to purchase another for ourselves. Initially, the down is somewhat packed, but after a couple of weeks, it fluffs out nicely and is amazingly comfortable. After a few months of daily use, there is no signs of loss of filling, discoloring of the comforter, or any other negatives with less expensive down comforters. Easily a 5 star rating!
Pleasantly Surprised! February 17, 2008

I did a lot of searching online for a down comforter. I recently went from a Queen to a King bed and had a goose down comforter for the Queen bed. Have used them for years since living in Europe.
This comforter comes out of the packaging a bit flat..as expected. I took it outside and shook it out to fluff it. The important thing to me was that it not be too warm since I was going to put it into a silk duvet cover that would add an additional two layers.
I live at the beach in Carlsbad California. We have chilly ocean nights, and very moderate days. This comforter is just right for those chilly nights. It would not be warm enough for Alaska, Maine, or any of the states that get down to single digits or below. But for most of the country it is a good value and a comfortable lightweight way to stay cozy.

The comforter that I received was very nice. It's actually a comforter from Macy's Charter Club label. For the price, it's a bargain. It feels like all down. It's light and soft. I love it.
