This feather comforter arrived shrink wrapped very tightly in a small box. Once removed from the wrap, I put it in the dryer to fluff it up. It came out very nicely fluffed! It is very comfortable to sleep under, even with hotter temperatures at night here in the South. The one negative thing is that it is kind of noisy when you move around under  it. It’s the high thread count I believe and likely with use, it will become more quiet. Overall it is a high quality comforter.
