Absolutely LOVE this comforter! I washed and dried it as soon as I got it, and it was definitely not flat after that. It didn't get a full 5 stars though because it really is too short on the sides. If you have a queen, order the king. I have a king on a king and can see sheets/mattress on both sides, so that is disappointing there. Still going to use it though because it's so comfy!
