I had read other reviews about the "crunching" noise this makes and mine does too. That's ok but what I don't like is I had really wanted this for a duvet insert and with the duvet cover on, you can see the outlines of the squares and I wanted a flat look. I will say this is very warm - great for our cold weather in the northeast, but it will be too hot when summer comes. I will say the bed feels very luxurious so overall I am happy.
