I dont have the comforter in mine at the moment because I get hot so easily so I use it as is. It keeps me warm but not so hot I have to kick it off like I do most blankets. I wouldn't say its my favorite duvet because to me it's kind of itchy, rough texture. I like my things soft to the touch. It wrinkles easily and doesn't give your bed a crisp sleek look to it. That's not a big deal to me anyways. Shams are large so you need xlarge pillows in order to fill them out. It took me a minute to figure out how to put the pillow inside. I was expecting it to have the opening on the back but these have zippers which is a nice add on. Overall, good quality set just not my favorite.
