I bought this lightweight comforter to fill a 'stuffies bag' for my child to have a healthier alternative to a bean bag - it made a great foundation for her to add stuffies or other blankets (great for storage of out of season blankets, too). I felt no feathers peeking out or hard bits, the quality of the cover is nice (not hotel crunchy but smooth and secure) - would make a great Summer comforter when we put the heavy down comforters away.
