Our family stopped using down and down-alternative comforters and started to use well-made WASHABLE WOOL blankets on our beds. THEY ARE THE BEST! Thinner than comforters but still warm -- but with LESS CHANCE OF GETTING OVER-HEATED!

Yes, washable wool blankets may cost a bit more initially, but they LAST AND LAST! 

Give them a try!

Happy Fall!

I've never had and/or used a comforter in my life. 

I've always used wool blankets & reversible quilts in the winter.  I don't wash them.  I send both to the cleaners at the end of the winter season.

do they also get moth holes ???

For a treat, look at the double layer Welsh blankets.  Like nothing you have seen, reverses.  Wash well.

If you are ever in Pendleton, they have a place out back for "seconds".  Wash well too.

I grew up as a military brat. My mom would use Army wool blankets on the kids' beds and we were never cold.  Today I still have them. They are made to last forever. I have a memory foam mattress which can get warm so I layered two of the Army blankets right on top of the mattress (under my mattress cover and sheets) to make a layer of thermal protection from heat building up in the mattress...it keeps my body heat away from the mattress and I feel comfortable all year long.  It works better than any mattress pad I've ever tried for that purpose. Wool is the best all-year long thermal regulator. It keeps you warm even when it gets wet. No other fiber can do that.

@jlkz  ours haven't. Stored in airtight bags and containers.

My mom used to have wool blankets on our beds in the winter and I hated them -- so scratchy if happend to get next to the skin.

That was forever ago.

Is washable wool something new?  I would like to check them out.

@Sunshine Kate We've had washable wool balnkets for about 15 years. The Pendleton one is actually SOFT if it happens to touch the chin!

Be well! Keep warm!

[mnmom]

Are they heavy?

Recommendations on where to buy them?

(I too remember the scratchy wool blankets of my youth.)
