At first glance this is the perfect summer comforter. It's not too heavy but still has the fluffy real down feeling I wanted. I bought a tight knit cotton duvet cover but a few weeks later I noticed little fibers (I thought) all over my sleepwear. I wasn't sure what the culprit was until I noticed the feathers/down all over my sheets, my nightstand, the bedroom floors. This down comforter is shedding like crazy, through its own cover and also through the duvet cover I bought for it. Perhaps they are using cheaper smaller stock of down and it just cannot be contained. I can't imagine if someone had allergies. Very disappointed and now its too late to return.
