Clara Clark Comforter - All Season Down Alternative Bedding Comforter/Duvet Insert, Ultra Soft, Box Stitched. King Size, White

First off let me say that I've had 2 of these for over six months and just ordered my 3rd today 2/11/14 so I have some insight on this product.Let me start off my review by clearing up some of the ridiculous negativity and expectations about this and all products. People honestly need to stop complaining about quality, materials, etc... of a product unless there is a bold face lie in the description. They sell these for around $35 with free shipping. So for the cost of an iPad charger we are getting a King size duvet. So we obviously need to write a review for a $30 duvet. That is what I will try to do.Also, all sellers are going to describe their products in the best light that they can. So don't read into the reviews (of any product) of people that post bad reviews acting like they read the description and got hoodwinked. Especially when it comes to paying less than $25 - $30, because you know shipping a box containing a king size duvet anywhere costs more than $5. This doesn't mean the product should be worthless but there is always some truth in "you get what you pay for".***What To Expect****For the money it is fantastic*You can use it with or without a duvet cover*It is light weight so don't expect the heaviness of a down duvet*It fits inside a household washer and dryer (probably the best part about it) so cleaning it is a breeze*Soft, as in cotton not microfibre.*Cool to the touch*Buy 2, for less than buying 1 with a duvet cover, and rotate them. Removes the rush of having to wash, dry and get back on the bed before bedtime.***What Not To Expect****The look or feel of a traditional heavy white down filled duvet*A 3 - 4" thick duvet*The feeling of sliding under a heavy duvet (most of you know that feeling)*The duvet from your vacation to Europe or a high end hotel in the States*A $300 duvet for 30 bucksI bought one of these to replace my old duvet and with it I purchased some duvet covers from other sellers on Amazon at the same time. For a while I did use the initial one I purchased with a cover but TBH the duvet covers tend to cause most of the problems themselves (fit, feel, durability etc...) They also cost a lot more then the duvet itself (this one). I've been using duvets since I travelled to Europe in 99' (mainly experiencing them in hotels throughout Austria and parts of Italy) where they are used heavily. Anyway, after dealing with a couple duvet covers for a week or two I finally tossed them aside and ordered another one of these to use. Best decision I made.*My dogs did rip apart a couple of the duvet covers so if durability is an issue for you this works great as well.I have 2 Boston Terriers so it's impossible to keep anything I use on my bed pristine. That being said, buying two of these has really worked out for the best. It has made it so that I can have a pristine bed in an instant when I need it. I keep one on my bed and one in the closet. When the one on my bed gets dirty all I have to do is grab the clean one from the closet and throw the dirty one in the wash with Tide and a little bleach. This is the first duvet I've ever been able to wash.***Washing and Drying****It fits in the washing machine without being completely stuffed in (I have an older top load)*Fill the machine with warm water, Tide and Bleach before you put the duvet in.*After putting the duvet in the washer I personally recommend working the duvet in for a couple seconds to make sure the detergent and bleach displace evenly.*I dry it with Warm air in the dryer, but I am sure it would be fine with Hot*It dries extremely quick, less time then half a load of towels*t truly helps if you rotate it once during the process. Moving the wet interior to the outside where the dryer's heat comes from.Because of the inability to wash the standard, heavy, down duvets. The cover becomes very important when using them. But since that isn't the case here it makes them purely for style. I have to mention that this is *NOT* a thick white duvet. It does not have deep square pockets of heavy down (squares yes but not thick, heavy or well defined). It also doesn't have a well defined edge with a heavy stitch or a starchy thick exterior sheet. If that is what you are looking for do not buy this. It does not have the look or feel of that.Some people have said that they use this for that look. I personally don't see why since that'd be impossible.So for $70 I have a queen size bed that is always covered with a pristine white duvet. It is nice and light for the summers and definitely heavy enough for the winters.

This is the end all be all of blankets. This blanket must have serious technology behind it or the owner of the company is literally engaging in witchcraft because it somehow keeps my spouse and I at comfortable temperatures even though one of us is an ice cube and one of us is literally the surface of the sun (and neither of those are me).This blanket somehow distuributes the heat while keeping both parties from sweating. We've been using it in the dead of summer. Granted, our house is kept at a frisky 63 degrees at night for mattress related reasons; however, I anticipate this blanket to be effective even in the cold winter months and at hotter temperatures.I'll never buy another blanket. At this price point, if it only lasts 7 1/2 months, it will be more cost effective than our last down alternative duvet that cost nearly $500. That said, I expect this to last at least a year if not longer as the construction is of a much higher quality than the comparable $30 budget king comforters you find at big box retailers.Side note: I noticed that other reviews bemoaned the lack of duvet ties in the corners. It seems that those reviewers were either mistaken or the company has now updated their design to include the ties.CONSThe only negative I can think of is that this blanket is extremely prone to wrinkling. I read that in reviews before purchasing, however, it's really more annoying than it sounds. Functionally, this blanket is utter perfection and it just seems like it should look as perfect as it feels, but doesn't quite measure up. So - 1/2 star for that.The other irritation I had is that the size isn't quite a true king - or the design is intended to make it longer on the bottom than on the sides. It results in the two bed users being forced more into the middle of the bed to avoid the blanket pulling up on the sides and causing a draft. On the other hand, the added length on the bottom means being able to pull the blanket up as far as you like while always having toasty toes. This far outweighs the negative aspect of this so I only docked another 1/2 star.Overall: Stop wasting time reading reviews and just buy it already. You will be glad you did.Note: blanket is folded in near half in the picture. I prefer this method of bed making so that the blanket is not unecessecarily rumpled on nights it proves unnecessary.

i love this duvet, it’s kept me cool in the summer months and warm now it’s getting colder, will definitely be buying another one

Exact texture I wanted but wasn’t the dark navy as in the photo.Returned for a refund.

This is a nice comforter; I inserted into my California King Duvet cover, but this does not seem to fit like a Cali-King Comforter. It is quite short in the width, the length seems fine. It also shifts. This fits more like a King not a California King.

Love it! It's super thick and warm and doesn't move throughout the night despite two dogs and a husband that moves constantly throughout the night. Only duvet I've ever owned where I don't wake up in the morning with no blanket.

Muy corriente, si lo quieres usar como cobertor blanco esta no es la opción. Mejor invertir un poco más por algún otro que valga la pena
