This is my first time using a down comforter at home. And it's great so far! A little warm for Southern California summers, but pretty perfect for winter. It's shed a TON of feathers since I started using it so those are floating all over my apartment, but I'm not sure if that's just how it is with down comforters at first. We'll see how it settles after it's been in rotation for a while. I bought a duvet cover off of Etsy which fits with it perfectly.
