I shopped forever for a duvet that would actually fit a cal king bed. I think I got the various reviews confused in my head as this arrived and I was super sad it was so thin. I stuffed it in the dryer on low heat to fluff - not fluffing happened. Decided to try it out since the overall size was great. My dog decided she didn't like it, and less on it within hours of making the bed. I washed it (twice in my front loading washer to make sure it was clean) dried on medium hoping for the best and let it hang to dry for the day. Same pupper decided to take the duvet for a walk, so we Re-washed and AGAIN dried and hung out to dry (she clearly hates this duvet). Once dried I remade up the bed and we settled in to sleep. Ok, it may not look as fluffy as I hoped, but this think is great. Nice weight to it and perfect warmth level for our southern CA winter evenings. Not sure how it would do in a colder climate but for us, it's perfect.

Sizing is great other than finding a duvet cover that fits it. I have two squares of duvet for each side of the bed and the foot to hang down which covers out extra thick mattress.

I marked down starts because it did arrive a bit dirty I think from the packaging processs and that it is thinner/flatter than advertised. Marked stars up for durability in wash and drying and all around tuffness to puppers.

It really does work! I too read the reivews noting how thin the comforter is, but based on the overall excellent response, I ordered it. Yes, it does work exactly as described, I'm just not sure how. The recent nights have the house down to low 50's, high 40's (yeah, California I know) and I have been very warm and comfortable. Also, after tossing and turning, the (old) down comforter would really hold the heat in and have to come off. Not this one. Unless I really toss and turn, I leave it in place and the warmth adjusts. Also, very important for me, the entire bed is warm, not just the one area I'm in. That way you can turn over or move your feet around and you don't hit a cold spot. Note the sizing, the Cal King is on the larger size, so you don't get caught short on the edges, if your partner pulls the comforter over a little too much. Overall quality appears to be very good and I'm now in the process of buying two more for the kids beds. Good product.

I purchased two duvet cover from Royal Hotel and need an insert. Light one but at the same time warm and this was the first thing I saw on Royal Hotel storefront. Its the first item in their list with most reviews and it was same exact size as the covers. I hate real down because of down dust and because they are too warm so I chose that one and it was super soft and comfy. I live in in the bronx and it is really cold here. The price of this is great! Duvet in general are super expensive and these are very reasonably priced. The comforter is securely sewn so you don't have to worry about seams coming undone or filling leaking. The corners have little loops so you can secure a duvet easily and it will stay in place so no shifting with comforter inside the cover. It is really fluffy and overflows out of the storage bag as soon as you open it. This is perfect if youif you are allergic to real down filling or need a light and warm comforter at the same time.

I've never enjoyed real down comforters. I run warm, I can't stand when the feathers poke me through the shell, and I don't like sleeping with animals or animal products. This down alternative is light and feels like a comforting cloud draped over me - not overbearing in any way. It helps provide soft comfort to balance out the firm mattress I have and need for skeletal support. It's easy to move around. This makes it good for making the bed, tucking myself in for bed, or adjusting it while sleeping. Machine washable and dries quickly. Throw on your preferred duvet cover and you're set. A good deal for the casual lifestyle.

I moved to Texas from the Pacific Northwest about 7 years ago. I've owned down comforters for over 30 years. Really good ones. And really good ones are expensive. My new dog decided to play rip the comforter apart a while back. Being a guy, I fixed it with duct tape. Still, I was annoyed with it not fitting my queen cover. And, frankly, it was a little warm here. So, I bought this comforter. Outstanding value. The loft is excellent and similar to my down comforter. And, it's just about as warm as the down comforter. I guess that's another reason they invented air conditioning. The bottom line is the fit was exactly as stated. I measured it. It's sewn very well and the quilting is one of the things I always demanded in down comforters. In short, for one whole heck of a lot less money, this has at least the same utility as way more expensive down comforters. Some people have complained about loft. My guess is that they've not owned comforters. All that loft in some of them is due to using a mix of fillers. Loft isn't what keeps you warm. Trapped air keeps you warm. I'm sure you can buy those big fluffy comforters somewhere, but what's the point? Also, for those who aren't crazy about the shell's appearance -- you know, it's ok to complain about that around here. We're all friends. But, don't ever let somebody who knows comforters hear you say that. Comforters go inside covers. It's way easier to clean covers than comforters. Helloooo! And, covers allow you to style your bedroom anyway you want, including all white if that's what you want. But... get a cover and we'll pretend like you never said you didn't like the looks of this one.
