Its a great comforter. Its lighter weight but still so warm  I bought a duvet cover for it because I have pets and they get up on the bed.  But I liked the feel of the down comforter I have risked it and already have it on my bed (the duvet cover is due to arrive today). So only one night of dog freshly groomed is fine for me with the new comforter not protected.  By tonight it will be even better when the rest of the bedding arrives.
