Soft and packed really well. Also shipped fast. I do give it a good rating because the stitching in the squares appears to be pretty good unlike other comforters I’ve had in the past. That said still thinner weight than I expected which means the baffling has less loft. Cool to the touch. I’d recommend tumble dry no heat to fluff it up. This is what it looks like immediately out of the packaging from the shopping box. I let it settle flat on the bed I think with tumble dry it would fluff better.
