What they’re saying

“The hypoallergenic fill is just as warm as down comforters I've tried, and I don't have to worry about feathers leaking through the seams and invading my space.”

— Audrey Lee, commerce editor (Architectural Digest)

“I would have no hesitation recommending anything from the brand.”

— Zoë Sessums (Architectural Digest)

“The baffle-box construction keeps the down evenly distributed throughout the cover, and with attachable corner loops, the insert was easy to situate within my Blu Dot duvet cover.”

— Mel Studach, senior editor (Architectural Digest Pro)

“It's the perfect combo of crisp on the outside, and plush on the inside. The 200 g/m2 fill weight is the ideal compromise between my husband and me, as I am always cold and he is constantly throwing off covers.”

— Yelena Moroz Alpert (Architectural Digest)

“It's light, soft, breathable...everything you would ever want in a comforter.”

— Sydney Gore (Architectural Digest)
