The Company Store

COSTCO

Macy's

Home Goods

Many price ranges, down feather/down

Look for some great sales because they are pretty $$$$$

Pacific Coast Feather. They offer various warmths in their website, including down blankets.

They still use hyperclean so they never smell like wet dog when laundering. These used to be NN back in the day.

25% off is their best discount unless you catch a "flash sale" of up to 65% off. Flash sales can last a week + .

I've had cheap and somewhat expensive comforters over the years. The best one I ever had is from LL Bean. It's lasted many years and I'll use it again this year.

I got a Serta from Q a little over a year ago, and couldn't be happier. (Purchased it in the summer.) They really have quite a variety now. But I remember reading and reading about the different ones they were offering, and dismissed the others for one reason or another.

I use mine year round -- air conditioning in summer, and I keep the heat off in the bedroom in winter. It's the only cover I use, no top sheet or other blanket.

My fave down comforters and blankets are Northern Nights. Lands End has nice ones too and they're more reasonable when on sale.

I also have a down comforter from L.L. Bean. Couldn't tell you how many years ago we bought it. Still in great shape. And I am putting it back on my bed this year too.

I also swear by my LL Bean comforters. I've had two of them for years and alternate every winter. I love them, I have purple and yellow

@SurferWife I'm flabbergasted that you, living in Hawaii, need a down comforter. They are far too warm for me in Albuquerque, although every winter night is well below freezing. I sleep with my window opened. I love my down blanket which is lighter weight.

I recommend Warm Things. They have a wide variety of down items at reasonable prices. Lots of comforters in different weights for different environments. I have a Northern Nights comforter but will go to Warm Things if/when I need to replace it.

@SurferWife I got mine at Company Store many years ago, and it's holding up well. That's where I would go when I need one again. I'm not sure which one it is though. They sell many. I can't tell from the tag on my comforter.

Northern Nights is great because of the Hyperclean process. There is one now on dot .com in many colors with a Black Friday sale.price.

@drizzellla How do you clean it and how often? Thanks! Inquiring mind wants to know!

@SurferWife - Ours is also from L.L. Bean.

I now take it to the dry cleaners each spring. I did try to handle it myself one year a long time ago. You can wash the one we have. I put it in dryer with a clean white sneaker (I have a brand new white one I use specifically for the dryer). Even with that it took forever to dry, and I determined I would take it in from then on! :smileyhappy

The comforter is between a light blanket and the bedspread. So I take it to the laundromat after we use it in winter. I figure that since there is a sheet and light blanket that it doesn't get dirty from us. And the bedspread helps keep the dust off.

And since I only use it during winter I figure how dirty could it get.

It washes nicely too. That is why I take to a lauderomat. They have large machines that can handle the bulk.

The newer NN are no longer hyperclean as they are now contracted with another vendor.

NN is a Q brand name.

Pacific Coast Feather still uses hyperclean which is washed X3.

LOL! I use one as a bedspread not an actual blanket. Going through menopause, a blanket is the last thing I need. I want it for looks & decor.
