The comforter is comfortable, but I’m disappointed with the quality. After only about two months of use, and despite always using a duvet cover, the comforter has developed numerous small lumps throughout the fabric. It has never been washed or machine dried, so this seems unusual for such a new product. For the price, I expected much better durability. I’m currently waiting to hear back from cust Jennie · buffy.co

I absolutely love the comforter! It is soft and comfortable, it fits really nicely with lots of drop on both sides. It’s definitely a breathable fabric and keeps us comfortable but not hot. I put it on the bed right out of the package and the few wrinkles fell out on their own. Love it! Great price point too! Lisa G. · laylasleep.com
