This comforter arrived in some sort of vacuum sealed package, appearing to have no loft whatsoever.  I laid it out for 48 hours as per the instructions, and it lofted up nicely!  The fabric seems durable and tightly woven, preventing feathers to escape.  It seems heavy for its size and is quite warm.  We got the twin size as a perfect oversized throw to share on the sofa while binge-watching our favorite drama.
