I have never had or used a Sherpa comforter before. I can honestly say that my wife and I fell in love with it right away. It is very soft and very comfortable. I know that when winter kicks in we will love it even more I think. You can wrap it around you fall into a deep sleep. It has made me sleep longer and have a deep sleep. I usually wake up every 2 or 3 hours, but not since you this comforter. I wish I had one a long time ago. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
