I wanted this comforter as a substitute for my down comforter, which in Florida is a little too warm.  It came vacuumed packed and I followed the recommendation to throw it in the dryer for 10 minutes to fluff.  It puffed up really nice and soft and isn’t too light weight or too heavy.  I definitely recommend a queen size duvet as my full size is maybe a little bit too small.  Some of the comforter is squished in there but it still spreads out nicely.  Slept really well last night and was warm but not sweaty.  The cats loved it too.  Recommend for warmer states for sure.  I also love that i can wash and dry it!!
