Even though it is made of polyester, it breaths well and feel nice on the skin. Don't expect the high quality equivalent to high tread count cotton because this isn't. I was concern that it isn't a down comforter but neither my boyfriend or I get sweaty/hot so this piece passes the test. The pattern works on both sides, which makes it versatile. The gray has a little sheen in it. For the price I paid, it is really a good value!

Pros: pattern works on both sides, the sheen gray is perfect for winter/holidays
