@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.

Wow, mine has had a long life and I need a new one.  Any recommendations?

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 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.

@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.
