At AD, the optimal sleep setup isn’t just a fantasy but totally within reach, which is why sourcing the best comforters and duvet inserts—from down toppers to fluffy, featherless options—is always top of mind. We've tested dozens of options over the years for our annual Sleep Week. So we know the difference between down and down alternative ones. Our editors can also identify linen from sateen from lyocell with their eyes closed—you get the picture. We care about quality, a good night’s sleep, and easy laundering.With that in mind, we found the Buffy Breeze Comforter to be an all-around favorite for its texture, weight, warmth, and easy care instructions. It also comes in three weights and all bed sizes to suit every sleeper. But there are many more amazing comforters out there, so we’re sharing our full lineup of picks here, including cooling options for hot sleepers, heavyweight contenders for cold nights, and eco-friendly comforters made with sustainably sourced materials. Most of these comforters don’t require dry cleaning, but routine washing and a tumble dry cycle can extend the life of your comforter. (Don’t forget to tackle tiny messes with a quick spot-clean.)Once you’ve got the perfect comforter, dive into the best duvet covers, upgrade your bed sheets, or treat yourself to one of our favorite weighted blankets.Our Top Picks for the Best Comforters:Shop by Category:Our Favorites | More Comforters We Love | What to Look for in the Best ComfortersBest Comforters, According to Our EditorsAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: Plant-based fiber fillOuter Shell: 300 thread count, sateen-weave Tencell lyocell (made from sustainably sourced materials)AccordionItemContainerButtonDuvet cover recommended, which you can wash regularly. The Breeze comforter itself is not designed for washing machines. Spot-clean or, when needed, dry-clean.Looking for something lightweight and, well, breezy? This comforter—Buffy’s bestseller—is ideal for warm weather or for anyone who’s a hot sleeper in general, and it comes highly recommended by two of our editors. Commerce director Rachel Fletcher loves its look and weight. “The fibers are naturally a little heavier, which makes it more substantial and warmer than other cooling comforters I’ve tried [like the Casper], but it’s not as overwhelming as a traditional down comforter,” she says in her review. Like the original Buffy Comforter, it has loops in every corner, so it can be used interchangeably as a comforter or duvet insert.Our associate director Lori Keong also sleeps under the Breeze in the cooler months and notes that the wavy design on this eucalyptus-filled topper, inspired by Maya Lin’s Storm King Wavefields, looks especially aesthetically pleasing if you opt to use it without a cover.Boll & Branch Down Duvet InsertAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: Triple-washed, cruelty-free, IDS-certified down fillComforter Cover: Down-proof cotton shellAccordionItemContainerButtonCold water on gentle cycle, tumble dry low. Wash seasonally.Boll & Branch has cracked the code for breathable, exquisitely crafted bedding with this down duvet insert. The retailer is conscientious with their approach to supply chain and holistic practices, earning seals for Fair Trade Certified and Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS), which certifies you’re sleeping under something luxe that isn’t packed with microplastics.AD PRO senior editor Mel Studach can attest to this: This down insert has a 100% organic cotton shell that works as a breathable layer that’s strong enough to keep the fills from poking through. “The duvet insert made a great first impression,” Studach says, “And with attachable corner loops, the insert was easy to situate within my Blu Dot duvet cover. The baffle box construction keeps the down evenly distributed throughout the cover.” Studach recommends this for a year-round option if you like to keep your room cold and snuggle up. One last perk: Not only is it made with better-for-you materials, but the various weight options mean you can better personalize it to your sleep preferences.Boll & Branch Down Duvet InsertAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: Natural down clusters and feathers sustainably sourced in CanadaComforter Cover: 400 thread count, 100% long-staple cottonAccordionItemContainerButtonSpot-clean recommended. Dry-clean if needed. Do not bleach. Do not iron. Keep your comforters’s filling distributed evenly with daily fluffing.We’re big fans of Brooklinen, especially social media manager Rebecca Grambone, who called this comforter “very high quality and luxurious and gave off strong hotel bed vibes.” Brooklinen’s high-quality bedding never disappoints, and their down comforter is no exception. It comes in three varieties: lightweight (650 fill power), all-season (700 fill power), and ultra-warm (750 fill power). The hypoallergenic, antimicrobial comforter features corner loops, should you want to use it as a duvet cover instead.Quince Premium Down ComforterAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: European 650-fill power white goose downOuter Shell: 100% cotton sateen shellAccordionItemContainerButtonSpot-clean recommended. Dry-clean if needed. Do not bleach. Do not iron.Quince makes some of our favorite bedding, and we think this goose down comforter is another safe bet for a good night’s sleep. Senior digital design editor Zoë Sessum agrees, noting that the price point (especially compared to offerings from competitors) is incredible for such high-quality bedding. “I would have no hesitation recommending anything from the brand,” she says. Filled with European white goose down and available in both lightweight and all-season options, this down duvet insert is designed with double-stitched seams and a baffle box construction to prevent lumps.West Elm HydroCool Cooling Down Alternative Duvet InsertAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: 100% HydroCool polyesterOuter Shell: 230 thread count, 100% brushed organic cottonAccordionItemContainerButtonMachine wash with warm water, tumble dry on low, and remove duvet insert promptly from the dryer. Use a warm iron if necessary. Do not dry clean.Senior digital design editor Sydney Gore identifies as a sensitive sleeper. Luckily for her, this cooling comforter fit the bill for something soft but heavy enough to keep her warm during the chilly months. Filled with a hypoallergenic blend of polyester and sustainably sourced Tencel lyocell fibers, this duvet insert is one that Gore describes as “breathable, fluffy and perfect for the everyday.” Hot sleepers are in luck—the insert comes in All Season or Extra Plush, allowing them to decide on the hydrocool fill that’s just right.More Comforters and Duvet Inserts We LoveCozy Earth Silk ComforterAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin, full/queen, and kingFill Content: 100% bamboo viscose or silkOuter Shell: Choose between viscose or silk—the material is the same inside and outAccordionItemContainerButtonSpot-clean or dry-clean. The use of a protective duvet cover is strongly recommended and required for warranty. Hang dry in mild-to-moderate natural sunlight to naturally freshen every three to five months.Silky smooth and lightweight, this Oeko-Tex certified comforter is perfect for anyone looking for a temperature regulating blanket that’ll never smother. It works, of course, as a duvet insert, thanks to the anchor loops. Cozy Earth, also beloved for their bamboo sleepwear, provides customers with standard or slightly fuller fill levels and different fabric choices. Market director Madeleine O’Malley says this comforter is “luxurious and high quality” and loves how “soft and silky the material feels while the construction is still substantial and durable.”AccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: White down and feather blendOuter Shell: 300 thread count sateen weave lyocell shellAccordionItemContainerButtonMachine wash cold (large commercial washers work best!) with your favorite pro-planet detergent and hang to dry. You can certainly dry the Cloud in your drying machine as long as it is a larger format machine and the Cloud fits comfortably. If it’s too snug, we encourage you to hang dry, so as to avoid potentially damaging the comforter.The Cloud comforter receives high praise from both AD editors and readers as a cozy comforter and duvet insert with corner loops to accommodate duvet covers. Coming in at $195 full price (though it often goes on sale), it makes a great budget choice for college grads and anyone else who tends to complain about the room being too cold at night. Senior digital design editor Sydney Gore has owned this comforter since its release in 2017, noting in her review that “it’s light, soft, breathable… everything you would ever want in a comforter that stays on your bed all year round.” Alternative down fills (like this one) don’t typically list a fill power, but a Buffy rep told us this has a fill power equivalent of 700.Pottery Barn Luxury 550FP European White Goose Down Duvet InsertAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: 550 fill power premium white Down clusters and feather blendOuter Shell: 300 thread count 100% cottonAccordionItemContainerButtonMachine wash in warm water on the gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low, remove promptly.For hot sleepers who can’t sleep without a little bit of weight pinning them down, contributor Wilder Davies tested with you in mind. He’s been burned before by synthetic down alternative comforters marketed toward hot sleepers because “while they are initially cool to the touch, they aren’t as breathable and cling to your body more.” That’s why he chose this down duvet insert from Pottery Barn, saying, “I wanted maximum loftiness, so I went with 700 fill power and the all-weather weight.”This is Pottery Barn’s most luxe bedding option, with a 400 thread count cotton damask striped shell, and 700-fill power European white goose down. His final impression was that this duvet insert is perfect for cozy all-season bedding. “I’ve wrapped myself in it through scorching summer heat and blustery winter nights, all without discomfort or feeling too overheated,” Davies says.The Company Store Cotton Wrinkle-Free Sateen ComforterAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full, queen, and king/California kingFill Content: Lofty, synthetic, 100% polyester fiber fillOuter Shell: 300 thread count, 100% combed cotton sateenAccordionItemContainerButtonThis comforter should be machine-washed on a warm setting with similar colors and tumble dried on low. Be careful not to overstuff your washer! Pop over to the laundromat instead of the dry cleaners if your washing machine is small.A brand that’s been in the bedding business for 100 years knows what it’s doing. The Company Store uses only premium raw materials that meet both environmental and ethical standards. “You can feel it in the comforter,” says SEO manager Katie Leirey, noting its silky smooth texture, thanks, in part, to the 300 thread count and 100% combed cotton sateen. The quality and material are incredible.” Leirey is a careful comforter shopper as she’s a hot sleeper, and this comforter is marketed for cold sleepers. But she was pleasantly surprised that when the comforter arrived, it was lightweight, with a “smooth, durable, and luxurious fabric.” However, if you’re looking for the fluff of a duvet insert, this might not be the best comforter for you. This brand also offers eight colorways in the Cotton collection.Sijo AiryWeight Eucalyptus ComforterAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: 100% Tencel lyocellComforter Cover: 100% eucalyptus fiber shellAccordionItemContainerButtonDry cleaning is the preferred method of care for this comforter, as it also helps keep the interior fiber fill distributed evenlyAt long last, a cold sleeper. Former ADIY editor Yelena Alpert tested this down alternative comforter with the stipulation that it keeps her warm throughout the night—she admits to sleeping under several layers. On the search for a “duvet insert that is lightweight but also does the job of keeping me warm (or at least helps me layer without the bulk),” she turned to Sijo, known for making some of the best cooling and lightweight products that are also hypoallergenic.The eucalyptus fiber is sleek and durable without feeling as fancy as silk. This duvet is 100% Tencel lyocell, and according to Alpert, “You can see and feel the quality, especially when you take a closer look at the stitching.” This style comes with corner straps and a mini loop in the center so you can secure a duvet cover in the center without slippage. Long story short: This is a superb choice for a lightweight comforter and Alpert’s favorite by far. She adds, “It’s my go-to duvet insert for those in-between months of spring and early fall, when the weather is just chilly enough to want something cozy.”What to Look for in a Quality ComforterFill Power: Fill power measures the fluffiness and insulation of the comforter. The higher the fill power, the fluffier and warmer it will feel.Corner Loops: If there are corner loops or anchor loops, that means you can use the comforter as a duvet insert. If there are no loops, the comforter can be prone to clumping and bunching within the duvet.Fill Content: Fill content is usually classified as either down or down alternative options. Down refers to filling that’s made with duck down or goose feathers, and a down alternative is a man-made material including cotton and polyester fills, recycled materials, and plant-based fibers.Outer Shell: The material on the outer shell of your comforter or duvet insert matters. Look at the thread count. Consider your preferred sleeping temperature and whether a cotton sateen shell that’s smooth but slightly thicker is a better option than one made of crisp percale cotton. If you’re a hot sleeper, you’ll probably want a cooling material with breathability, like eucalyptus or Tencel lyocell.Size and Color: The size of your cover is dictated by the size of your bed. Companies usually offer all standard sizes from twin to king, with some brands offering California king as well. In terms of color, white is most popular for the duvet insert but you can also find ivory relatively easily. Comforter color ranges are more expansive and you can likely find a hue that fits your decor. We’ve called out what’s available in each of our picks.Craving better sleep?

It works, of course, as a duvet insert, thanks to the anchor loops.

Market director Madeleine O’Malley says this comforter is “luxurious and high quality” and loves how “soft and silky the material feels while the construction is still substantial and durable.”AccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: White down and feather blendOuter Shell: 300 thread count sateen weave lyocell shellAccordionItemContainerButtonMachine wash cold (large commercial washers work best!) with your favorite pro-planet detergent and hang to dry.

Coming in at $195 full price (though it often goes on sale), it makes a great budget choice for college grads and anyone else who tends to complain about the room being too cold at night. Senior digital design editor Sydney Gore has owned this comforter since its release in 2017, noting in her review that “it’s light, soft, breathable… everything you would ever want in a comforter that stays on your bed all year round.” Alternative down fills (like this one) don’t typically list a fill power, but a Buffy rep told us this has a fill power equivalent of 700.Pottery Barn Luxury 550FP European White Goose Down Duvet InsertAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: 550 fill power premium white Down clusters and feather blendOuter Shell: 300 thread count 100% cottonAccordionItemContainerButtonMachine wash in warm water on the gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low, remove promptly.For hot sleepers who can’t sleep without a little bit of weight pinning them down, contributor Wilder Davies tested with you in mind. He’s been burned before by synthetic down alternative comforters marketed toward hot sleepers because “while they are initially cool to the touch, they aren’t as breathable and cling to your body more.” That’s why he chose this down duvet insert from Pottery Barn, saying, “I wanted maximum loftiness, so I went with 700 fill power and the all-weather weight.”This is Pottery Barn’s most luxe bedding option, with a 400 thread count cotton damask striped shell, and 700-fill power European white goose down. His final impression was that this duvet insert is perfect for cozy all-season bedding. “I’ve wrapped myself in it through scorching summer heat and blustery winter nights, all without discomfort or feeling too overheated,” Davies says.The Company Store Cotton Wrinkle-Free Sateen ComforterAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full, queen, and king/California kingFill Content: Lofty, synthetic, 100% polyester fiber fillOuter Shell: 300 thread count, 100% combed cotton sateenAccordionItemContainerButtonThis comforter should be machine-washed on a warm setting with similar colors and tumble dried on low. Be careful not to overstuff your washer! Pop over to the laundromat instead of the dry cleaners if your washing machine is small.A brand that’s been in the bedding business for 100 years knows what it’s doing. The Company Store uses only premium raw materials that meet both environmental and ethical standards. “You can feel it in the comforter,” says SEO manager Katie Leirey, noting its silky smooth texture, thanks, in part, to the 300 thread count and 100% combed cotton sateen. The quality and material are incredible.” Leirey is a careful comforter shopper as she’s a hot sleeper, and this comforter is marketed for cold sleepers. But she was pleasantly surprised that when the comforter arrived, it was lightweight, with a “smooth, durable, and luxurious fabric.” However, if you’re looking for the fluff of a duvet insert, this might not be the best comforter for you. This brand also offers eight colorways in the Cotton collection.Sijo AiryWeight Eucalyptus ComforterAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: 100% Tencel lyocellComforter Cover: 100% eucalyptus fiber shellAccordionItemContainerButtonDry cleaning is the preferred method of care for this comforter, as it also helps keep the interior fiber fill distributed evenlyAt long last, a cold sleeper. Former ADIY editor Yelena Alpert tested this down alternative comforter with the stipulation that it keeps her warm throughout the night—she admits to sleeping under several layers. On the search for a “duvet insert that is lightweight but also does the job of keeping me warm (or at least helps me layer without the bulk),” she turned to Sijo, known for making some of the best cooling and lightweight products that are also hypoallergenic.The eucalyptus fiber is sleek and durable without feeling as fancy as silk. This duvet is 100% Tencel lyocell, and according to Alpert, “You can see and feel the quality, especially when you take a closer look at the stitching.” This style comes with corner straps and a mini loop in the center so you can secure a duvet cover in the center without slippage. Long story short: This is a superb choice for a lightweight comforter and Alpert’s favorite by far. She adds, “It’s my go-to duvet insert for those in-between months of spring and early fall, when the weather is just chilly enough to want something cozy.”What to Look for in a Quality ComforterFill Power: Fill power measures the fluffiness and insulation of the comforter. The higher the fill power, the fluffier and warmer it will feel.Corner Loops: If there are corner loops or anchor loops, that means you can use the comforter as a duvet insert. If there are no loops, the comforter can be prone to clumping and bunching within the duvet.Fill Content: Fill content is usually classified as either down or down alternative options. Down refers to filling that’s made with duck down or goose feathers, and a down alternative is a man-made material including cotton and polyester fills, recycled materials, and plant-based fibers.Outer Shell: The material on the outer shell of your comforter or duvet insert matters. Look at the thread count. Consider your preferred sleeping temperature and whether a cotton sateen shell that’s smooth but slightly thicker is a better option than one made of crisp percale cotton. If you’re a hot sleeper, you’ll probably want a cooling material with breathability, like eucalyptus or Tencel lyocell.Size and Color: The size of your cover is dictated by the size of your bed. Companies usually offer all standard sizes from twin to king, with some brands offering California king as well. In terms of color, white is most popular for the duvet insert but you can also find ivory relatively easily. Comforter color ranges are more expansive and you can likely find a hue that fits your decor. We’ve called out what’s available in each of our picks.Craving better sleep?

At AD, the optimal sleep setup isn’t just a fantasy but totally within reach, which is why sourcing the best comforters and duvet inserts—from down toppers to fluffy, featherless options—is always top of mind. We've tested dozens of options over the years for our annual Sleep Week. So we know the difference between down and down alternative ones. Our editors can also identify linen from sateen from lyocell with their eyes closed—you get the picture. We care about quality, a good night’s sleep, and easy laundering.With that in mind, we found the Buffy Breeze Comforter to be an all-around favorite for its texture, weight, warmth, and easy care instructions. It also comes in three weights and all bed sizes to suit every sleeper. But there are many more amazing comforters out there, so we’re sharing our full lineup of picks here, including cooling options for hot sleepers, heavyweight contenders for cold nights, and eco-friendly comforters made with sustainably sourced materials. Most of these comforters don’t require dry cleaning, but routine washing and a tumble dry cycle can extend the life of your comforter. (Don’t forget to tackle tiny messes with a quick spot-clean.)Once you’ve got the perfect comforter, dive into the best duvet covers, upgrade your bed sheets, or treat yourself to one of our favorite weighted blankets.Our Top Picks for the Best Comforters:Shop by Category:Our Favorites | More Comforters We Love | What to Look for in the Best ComfortersBest Comforters, According to Our EditorsAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: Plant-based fiber fillOuter Shell: 300 thread count, sateen-weave Tencell lyocell (made from sustainably sourced materials)AccordionItemContainerButtonDuvet cover recommended, which you can wash regularly. The Breeze comforter itself is not designed for washing machines. Spot-clean or, when needed, dry-clean.Looking for something lightweight and, well, breezy? This comforter—Buffy’s bestseller—is ideal for warm weather or for anyone who’s a hot sleeper in general, and it comes highly recommended by two of our editors. Commerce director Rachel Fletcher loves its look and weight. “The fibers are naturally a little heavier, which makes it more substantial and warmer than other cooling comforters I’ve tried [like the Casper], but it’s not as overwhelming as a traditional down comforter,” she says in her review. Like the original Buffy Comforter, it has loops in every corner, so it can be used interchangeably as a comforter or duvet insert.Our associate director Lori Keong also sleeps under the Breeze in the cooler months and notes that the wavy design on this eucalyptus-filled topper, inspired by Maya Lin’s Storm King Wavefields, looks especially aesthetically pleasing if you opt to use it without a cover.Boll & Branch Down Duvet InsertAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: Triple-washed, cruelty-free, IDS-certified down fillComforter Cover: Down-proof cotton shellAccordionItemContainerButtonCold water on gentle cycle, tumble dry low. Wash seasonally.Boll & Branch has cracked the code for breathable, exquisitely crafted bedding with this down duvet insert. The retailer is conscientious with their approach to supply chain and holistic practices, earning seals for Fair Trade Certified and Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS), which certifies you’re sleeping under something luxe that isn’t packed with microplastics.AD PRO senior editor Mel Studach can attest to this: This down insert has a 100% organic cotton shell that works as a breathable layer that’s strong enough to keep the fills from poking through. “The duvet insert made a great first impression,” Studach says, “And with attachable corner loops, the insert was easy to situate within my Blu Dot duvet cover. The baffle box construction keeps the down evenly distributed throughout the cover.” Studach recommends this for a year-round option if you like to keep your room cold and snuggle up. One last perk: Not only is it made with better-for-you materials, but the various weight options mean you can better personalize it to your sleep preferences.Boll & Branch Down Duvet InsertAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: Natural down clusters and feathers sustainably sourced in CanadaComforter Cover: 400 thread count, 100% long-staple cottonAccordionItemContainerButtonSpot-clean recommended. Dry-clean if needed. Do not bleach. Do not iron. Keep your comforters’s filling distributed evenly with daily fluffing.We’re big fans of Brooklinen, especially social media manager Rebecca Grambone, who called this comforter “very high quality and luxurious and gave off strong hotel bed vibes.” Brooklinen’s high-quality bedding never disappoints, and their down comforter is no exception. It comes in three varieties: lightweight (650 fill power), all-season (700 fill power), and ultra-warm (750 fill power). The hypoallergenic, antimicrobial comforter features corner loops, should you want to use it as a duvet cover instead.Quince Premium Down ComforterAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: European 650-fill power white goose downOuter Shell: 100% cotton sateen shellAccordionItemContainerButtonSpot-clean recommended.

His final impression was that this duvet insert is perfect for cozy all-season bedding. “I’ve wrapped myself in it through scorching summer heat and blustery winter nights, all without discomfort or feeling too overheated,” Davies says.The Company Store Cotton Wrinkle-Free Sateen ComforterAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full, queen, and king/California kingFill Content: Lofty, synthetic, 100% polyester fiber fillOuter Shell: 300 thread count, 100% combed cotton sateenAccordionItemContainerButtonThis comforter should be machine-washed on a warm setting with similar colors and tumble dried on low. Be careful not to overstuff your washer! Pop over to the laundromat instead of the dry cleaners if your washing machine is small.A brand that’s been in the bedding business for 100 years knows what it’s doing. The Company Store uses only premium raw materials that meet both environmental and ethical standards. “You can feel it in the comforter,” says SEO manager Katie Leirey, noting its silky smooth texture, thanks, in part, to the 300 thread count and 100% combed cotton sateen. The quality and material are incredible.” Leirey is a careful comforter shopper as she’s a hot sleeper, and this comforter is marketed for cold sleepers. But she was pleasantly surprised that when the comforter arrived, it was lightweight, with a “smooth, durable, and luxurious fabric.” However, if you’re looking for the fluff of a duvet insert, this might not be the best comforter for you. This brand also offers eight colorways in the Cotton collection.Sijo AiryWeight Eucalyptus ComforterAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: 100% Tencel lyocellComforter Cover: 100% eucalyptus fiber shellAccordionItemContainerButtonDry cleaning is the preferred method of care for this comforter, as it also helps keep the interior fiber fill distributed evenlyAt long last, a cold sleeper. Former ADIY editor Yelena Alpert tested this down alternative comforter with the stipulation that it keeps her warm throughout the night—she admits to sleeping under several layers. On the search for a “duvet insert that is lightweight but also does the job of keeping me warm (or at least helps me layer without the bulk),” she turned to Sijo, known for making some of the best cooling and lightweight products that are also hypoallergenic.The eucalyptus fiber is sleek and durable without feeling as fancy as silk. This duvet is 100% Tencel lyocell, and according to Alpert, “You can see and feel the quality, especially when you take a closer look at the stitching.” This style comes with corner straps and a mini loop in the center so you can secure a duvet cover in the center without slippage. Long story short: This is a superb choice for a lightweight comforter and Alpert’s favorite by far. She adds, “It’s my go-to duvet insert for those in-between months of spring and early fall, when the weather is just chilly enough to want something cozy.”What to Look for in a Quality ComforterFill Power: Fill power measures the fluffiness and insulation of the comforter. The higher the fill power, the fluffier and warmer it will feel.Corner Loops: If there are corner loops or anchor loops, that means you can use the comforter as a duvet insert. If there are no loops, the comforter can be prone to clumping and bunching within the duvet.Fill Content: Fill content is usually classified as either down or down alternative options. Down refers to filling that’s made with duck down or goose feathers, and a down alternative is a man-made material including cotton and polyester fills, recycled materials, and plant-based fibers.Outer Shell: The material on the outer shell of your comforter or duvet insert matters. Look at the thread count. Consider your preferred sleeping temperature and whether a cotton sateen shell that’s smooth but slightly thicker is a better option than one made of crisp percale cotton. If you’re a hot sleeper, you’ll probably want a cooling material with breathability, like eucalyptus or Tencel lyocell.Size and Color: The size of your cover is dictated by the size of your bed. Companies usually offer all standard sizes from twin to king, with some brands offering California king as well. In terms of color, white is most popular for the duvet insert but you can also find ivory relatively easily. Comforter color ranges are more expansive and you can likely find a hue that fits your decor. We’ve called out what’s available in each of our picks.Craving better sleep?

At AD, the optimal sleep setup isn’t just a fantasy but totally within reach, which is why sourcing the best comforters and duvet inserts—from down toppers to fluffy, featherless options—is always top of mind. We've tested dozens of options over the years for our annual Sleep Week. So we know the difference between down and down alternative ones. Our editors can also identify linen from sateen from lyocell with their eyes closed—you get the picture. We care about quality, a good night’s sleep, and easy laundering.With that in mind, we found the Buffy Breeze Comforter to be an all-around favorite for its texture, weight, warmth, and easy care instructions. It also comes in three weights and all bed sizes to suit every sleeper. But there are many more amazing comforters out there, so we’re sharing our full lineup of picks here, including cooling options for hot sleepers, heavyweight contenders for cold nights, and eco-friendly comforters made with sustainably sourced materials. Most of these comforters don’t require dry cleaning, but routine washing and a tumble dry cycle can extend the life of your comforter. (Don’t forget to tackle tiny messes with a quick spot-clean.)Once you’ve got the perfect comforter, dive into the best duvet covers, upgrade your bed sheets, or treat yourself to one of our favorite weighted blankets.Our Top Picks for the Best Comforters:Shop by Category:Our Favorites | More Comforters We Love | What to Look for in the Best ComfortersBest Comforters, According to Our EditorsAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: Plant-based fiber fillOuter Shell: 300 thread count, sateen-weave Tencell lyocell (made from sustainably sourced materials)AccordionItemContainerButtonDuvet cover recommended, which you can wash regularly. The Breeze comforter itself is not designed for washing machines. Spot-clean or, when needed, dry-clean.Looking for something lightweight and, well, breezy? This comforter—Buffy’s bestseller—is ideal for warm weather or for anyone who’s a hot sleeper in general, and it comes highly recommended by two of our editors. Commerce director Rachel Fletcher loves its look and weight. “The fibers are naturally a little heavier, which makes it more substantial and warmer than other cooling comforters I’ve tried [like the Casper], but it’s not as overwhelming as a traditional down comforter,” she says in her review. Like the original Buffy Comforter, it has loops in every corner, so it can be used interchangeably as a comforter or duvet insert.Our associate director Lori Keong also sleeps under the Breeze in the cooler months and notes that the wavy design on this eucalyptus-filled topper, inspired by Maya Lin’s Storm King Wavefields, looks especially aesthetically pleasing if you opt to use it without a cover.Boll & Branch Down Duvet InsertAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: Triple-washed, cruelty-free, IDS-certified down fillComforter Cover: Down-proof cotton shellAccordionItemContainerButtonCold water on gentle cycle, tumble dry low. Wash seasonally.Boll & Branch has cracked the code for breathable, exquisitely crafted bedding with this down duvet insert. The retailer is conscientious with their approach to supply chain and holistic practices, earning seals for Fair Trade Certified and Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS), which certifies you’re sleeping under something luxe that isn’t packed with microplastics.AD PRO senior editor Mel Studach can attest to this: This down insert has a 100% organic cotton shell that works as a breathable layer that’s strong enough to keep the fills from poking through. “The duvet insert made a great first impression,” Studach says, “And with attachable corner loops, the insert was easy to situate within my Blu Dot duvet cover. The baffle box construction keeps the down evenly distributed throughout the cover.” Studach recommends this for a year-round option if you like to keep your room cold and snuggle up. One last perk: Not only is it made with better-for-you materials, but the various weight options mean you can better personalize it to your sleep preferences.Boll & Branch Down Duvet InsertAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: Natural down clusters and feathers sustainably sourced in CanadaComforter Cover: 400 thread count, 100% long-staple cottonAccordionItemContainerButtonSpot-clean recommended. Dry-clean if needed. Do not bleach. Do not iron. Keep your comforters’s filling distributed evenly with daily fluffing.We’re big fans of Brooklinen, especially social media manager Rebecca Grambone, who called this comforter “very high quality and luxurious and gave off strong hotel bed vibes.” Brooklinen’s high-quality bedding never disappoints, and their down comforter is no exception. It comes in three varieties: lightweight (650 fill power), all-season (700 fill power), and ultra-warm (750 fill power). The hypoallergenic, antimicrobial comforter features corner loops, should you want to use it as a duvet cover instead.Quince Premium Down ComforterAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: European 650-fill power white goose downOuter Shell: 100% cotton sateen shellAccordionItemContainerButtonSpot-clean recommended. Dry-clean if needed. Do not bleach. Do not iron.Quince makes some of our favorite bedding, and we think this goose down comforter is another safe bet for a good night’s sleep. Senior digital design editor Zoë Sessum agrees, noting that the price point (especially compared to offerings from competitors) is incredible for such high-quality bedding. “I would have no hesitation recommending anything from the brand,” she says. Filled with European white goose down and available in both lightweight and all-season options, this down duvet insert is designed with double-stitched seams and a baffle box construction to prevent lumps.West Elm HydroCool Cooling Down Alternative Duvet InsertAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: 100% HydroCool polyesterOuter Shell: 230 thread count, 100% brushed organic cottonAccordionItemContainerButtonMachine wash with warm water, tumble dry on low, and remove duvet insert promptly from the dryer. Use a warm iron if necessary. Do not dry clean.Senior digital design editor Sydney Gore identifies as a sensitive sleeper. Luckily for her, this cooling comforter fit the bill for something soft but heavy enough to keep her warm during the chilly months. Filled with a hypoallergenic blend of polyester and sustainably sourced Tencel lyocell fibers, this duvet insert is one that Gore describes as “breathable, fluffy and perfect for the everyday.” Hot sleepers are in luck—the insert comes in All Season or Extra Plush, allowing them to decide on the hydrocool fill that’s just right.More Comforters and Duvet Inserts We LoveCozy Earth Silk ComforterAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin, full/queen, and kingFill Content: 100% bamboo viscose or silkOuter Shell: Choose between viscose or silk—the material is the same inside and outAccordionItemContainerButtonSpot-clean or dry-clean. The use of a protective duvet cover is strongly recommended and required for warranty. Hang dry in mild-to-moderate natural sunlight to naturally freshen every three to five months.Silky smooth and lightweight, this Oeko-Tex certified comforter is perfect for anyone looking for a temperature regulating blanket that’ll never smother. It works, of course, as a duvet insert, thanks to the anchor loops. Cozy Earth, also beloved for their bamboo sleepwear, provides customers with standard or slightly fuller fill levels and different fabric choices. Market director Madeleine O’Malley says this comforter is “luxurious and high quality” and loves how “soft and silky the material feels while the construction is still substantial and durable.”AccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: White down and feather blendOuter Shell: 300 thread count sateen weave lyocell shellAccordionItemContainerButtonMachine wash cold (large commercial washers work best!) with your favorite pro-planet detergent and hang to dry. You can certainly dry the Cloud in your drying machine as long as it is a larger format machine and the Cloud fits comfortably. If it’s too snug, we encourage you to hang dry, so as to avoid potentially damaging the comforter.The Cloud comforter receives high praise from both AD editors and readers as a cozy comforter and duvet insert with corner loops to accommodate duvet covers. Coming in at $195 full price (though it often goes on sale), it makes a great budget choice for college grads and anyone else who tends to complain about the room being too cold at night. Senior digital design editor Sydney Gore has owned this comforter since its release in 2017, noting in her review that “it’s light, soft, breathable… everything you would ever want in a comforter that stays on your bed all year round.” Alternative down fills (like this one) don’t typically list a fill power, but a Buffy rep told us this has a fill power equivalent of 700.Pottery Barn Luxury 550FP European White Goose Down Duvet InsertAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: 550 fill power premium white Down clusters and feather blendOuter Shell: 300 thread count 100% cottonAccordionItemContainerButtonMachine wash in warm water on the gentle cycle.

At AD, the optimal sleep setup isn’t just a fantasy but totally within reach, which is why sourcing the best comforters and duvet inserts—from down toppers to fluffy, featherless options—is always top of mind. We've tested dozens of options over the years for our annual Sleep Week. So we know the difference between down and down alternative ones. Our editors can also identify linen from sateen from lyocell with their eyes closed—you get the picture. We care about quality, a good night’s sleep, and easy laundering.With that in mind, we found the Buffy Breeze Comforter to be an all-around favorite for its texture, weight, warmth, and easy care instructions. It also comes in three weights and all bed sizes to suit every sleeper. But there are many more amazing comforters out there, so we’re sharing our full lineup of picks here, including cooling options for hot sleepers, heavyweight contenders for cold nights, and eco-friendly comforters made with sustainably sourced materials. Most of these comforters don’t require dry cleaning, but routine washing and a tumble dry cycle can extend the life of your comforter. (Don’t forget to tackle tiny messes with a quick spot-clean.)Once you’ve got the perfect comforter, dive into the best duvet covers, upgrade your bed sheets, or treat yourself to one of our favorite weighted blankets.Our Top Picks for the Best Comforters:Shop by Category:Our Favorites | More Comforters We Love | What to Look for in the Best ComfortersBest Comforters, According to Our EditorsAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: Plant-based fiber fillOuter Shell: 300 thread count, sateen-weave Tencell lyocell (made from sustainably sourced materials)AccordionItemContainerButtonDuvet cover recommended, which you can wash regularly. The Breeze comforter itself is not designed for washing machines. Spot-clean or, when needed, dry-clean.Looking for something lightweight and, well, breezy? This comforter—Buffy’s bestseller—is ideal for warm weather or for anyone who’s a hot sleeper in general, and it comes highly recommended by two of our editors. Commerce director Rachel Fletcher loves its look and weight. “The fibers are naturally a little heavier, which makes it more substantial and warmer than other cooling comforters I’ve tried [like the Casper], but it’s not as overwhelming as a traditional down comforter,” she says in her review. Like the original Buffy Comforter, it has loops in every corner, so it can be used interchangeably as a comforter or duvet insert.Our associate director Lori Keong also sleeps under the Breeze in the cooler months and notes that the wavy design on this eucalyptus-filled topper, inspired by Maya Lin’s Storm King Wavefields, looks especially aesthetically pleasing if you opt to use it without a cover.Boll & Branch Down Duvet InsertAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: Triple-washed, cruelty-free, IDS-certified down fillComforter Cover: Down-proof cotton shellAccordionItemContainerButtonCold water on gentle cycle, tumble dry low. Wash seasonally.Boll & Branch has cracked the code for breathable, exquisitely crafted bedding with this down duvet insert. The retailer is conscientious with their approach to supply chain and holistic practices, earning seals for Fair Trade Certified and Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS), which certifies you’re sleeping under something luxe that isn’t packed with microplastics.AD PRO senior editor Mel Studach can attest to this: This down insert has a 100% organic cotton shell that works as a breathable layer that’s strong enough to keep the fills from poking through. “The duvet insert made a great first impression,” Studach says, “And with attachable corner loops, the insert was easy to situate within my Blu Dot duvet cover. The baffle box construction keeps the down evenly distributed throughout the cover.” Studach recommends this for a year-round option if you like to keep your room cold and snuggle up. One last perk: Not only is it made with better-for-you materials, but the various weight options mean you can better personalize it to your sleep preferences.Boll & Branch Down Duvet InsertAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: Natural down clusters and feathers sustainably sourced in CanadaComforter Cover: 400 thread count, 100% long-staple cottonAccordionItemContainerButtonSpot-clean recommended. Dry-clean if needed. Do not bleach. Do not iron. Keep your comforters’s filling distributed evenly with daily fluffing.We’re big fans of Brooklinen, especially social media manager Rebecca Grambone, who called this comforter “very high quality and luxurious and gave off strong hotel bed vibes.” Brooklinen’s high-quality bedding never disappoints, and their down comforter is no exception. It comes in three varieties: lightweight (650 fill power), all-season (700 fill power), and ultra-warm (750 fill power). The hypoallergenic, antimicrobial comforter features corner loops, should you want to use it as a duvet cover instead.Quince Premium Down ComforterAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: European 650-fill power white goose downOuter Shell: 100% cotton sateen shellAccordionItemContainerButtonSpot-clean recommended. Dry-clean if needed. Do not bleach. Do not iron.Quince makes some of our favorite bedding, and we think this goose down comforter is another safe bet for a good night’s sleep. Senior digital design editor Zoë Sessum agrees, noting that the price point (especially compared to offerings from competitors) is incredible for such high-quality bedding. “I would have no hesitation recommending anything from the brand,” she says. Filled with European white goose down and available in both lightweight and all-season options, this down duvet insert is designed with double-stitched seams and a baffle box construction to prevent lumps.West Elm HydroCool Cooling Down Alternative Duvet InsertAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: 100% HydroCool polyesterOuter Shell: 230 thread count, 100% brushed organic cottonAccordionItemContainerButtonMachine wash with warm water, tumble dry on low, and remove duvet insert promptly from the dryer. Use a warm iron if necessary. Do not dry clean.Senior digital design editor Sydney Gore identifies as a sensitive sleeper. Luckily for her, this cooling comforter fit the bill for something soft but heavy enough to keep her warm during the chilly months. Filled with a hypoallergenic blend of polyester and sustainably sourced Tencel lyocell fibers, this duvet insert is one that Gore describes as “breathable, fluffy and perfect for the everyday.” Hot sleepers are in luck—the insert comes in All Season or Extra Plush, allowing them to decide on the hydrocool fill that’s just right.More Comforters and Duvet Inserts We LoveCozy Earth Silk ComforterAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin, full/queen, and kingFill Content: 100% bamboo viscose or silkOuter Shell: Choose between viscose or silk—the material is the same inside and outAccordionItemContainerButtonSpot-clean or dry-clean. The use of a protective duvet cover is strongly recommended and required for warranty. Hang dry in mild-to-moderate natural sunlight to naturally freshen every three to five months.Silky smooth and lightweight, this Oeko-Tex certified comforter is perfect for anyone looking for a temperature regulating blanket that’ll never smother. It works, of course, as a duvet insert, thanks to the anchor loops. Cozy Earth, also beloved for their bamboo sleepwear, provides customers with standard or slightly fuller fill levels and different fabric choices. Market director Madeleine O’Malley says this comforter is “luxurious and high quality” and loves how “soft and silky the material feels while the construction is still substantial and durable.”AccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: White down and feather blendOuter Shell: 300 thread count sateen weave lyocell shellAccordionItemContainerButtonMachine wash cold (large commercial washers work best!) with your favorite pro-planet detergent and hang to dry. You can certainly dry the Cloud in your drying machine as long as it is a larger format machine and the Cloud fits comfortably. If it’s too snug, we encourage you to hang dry, so as to avoid potentially damaging the comforter.The Cloud comforter receives high praise from both AD editors and readers as a cozy comforter and duvet insert with corner loops to accommodate duvet covers. Coming in at $195 full price (though it often goes on sale), it makes a great budget choice for college grads and anyone else who tends to complain about the room being too cold at night. Senior digital design editor Sydney Gore has owned this comforter since its release in 2017, noting in her review that “it’s light, soft, breathable… everything you would ever want in a comforter that stays on your bed all year round.” Alternative down fills (like this one) don’t typically list a fill power, but a Buffy rep told us this has a fill power equivalent of 700.Pottery Barn Luxury 550FP European White Goose Down Duvet InsertAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: 550 fill power premium white Down clusters and feather blendOuter Shell: 300 thread count 100% cottonAccordionItemContainerButtonMachine wash in warm water on the gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low, remove promptly.For hot sleepers who can’t sleep without a little bit of weight pinning them down, contributor Wilder Davies tested with you in mind. He’s been burned before by synthetic down alternative comforters marketed toward hot sleepers because “while they are initially cool to the touch, they aren’t as breathable and cling to your body more.” That’s why he chose this down duvet insert from Pottery Barn, saying, “I wanted maximum loftiness, so I went with 700 fill power and the all-weather weight.”This is Pottery Barn’s most luxe bedding option, with a 400 thread count cotton damask striped shell, and 700-fill power European white goose down. His final impression was that this duvet insert is perfect for cozy all-season bedding. “I’ve wrapped myself in it through scorching summer heat and blustery winter nights, all without discomfort or feeling too overheated,” Davies says.The Company Store Cotton Wrinkle-Free Sateen ComforterAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full, queen, and king/California kingFill Content: Lofty, synthetic, 100% polyester fiber fillOuter Shell: 300 thread count, 100% combed cotton sateenAccordionItemContainerButtonThis comforter should be machine-washed on a warm setting with similar colors and tumble dried on low. Be careful not to overstuff your washer! Pop over to the laundromat instead of the dry cleaners if your washing machine is small.A brand that’s been in the bedding business for 100 years knows what it’s doing. The Company Store uses only premium raw materials that meet both environmental and ethical standards. “You can feel it in the comforter,” says SEO manager Katie Leirey, noting its silky smooth texture, thanks, in part, to the 300 thread count and 100% combed cotton sateen. The quality and material are incredible.” Leirey is a careful comforter shopper as she’s a hot sleeper, and this comforter is marketed for cold sleepers. But she was pleasantly surprised that when the comforter arrived, it was lightweight, with a “smooth, durable, and luxurious fabric.” However, if you’re looking for the fluff of a duvet insert, this might not be the best comforter for you. This brand also offers eight colorways in the Cotton collection.Sijo AiryWeight Eucalyptus ComforterAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: 100% Tencel lyocellComforter Cover: 100% eucalyptus fiber shellAccordionItemContainerButtonDry cleaning is the preferred method of care for this comforter, as it also helps keep the interior fiber fill distributed evenlyAt long last, a cold sleeper. Former ADIY editor Yelena Alpert tested this down alternative comforter with the stipulation that it keeps her warm throughout the night—she admits to sleeping under several layers. On the search for a “duvet insert that is lightweight but also does the job of keeping me warm (or at least helps me layer without the bulk),” she turned to Sijo, known for making some of the best cooling and lightweight products that are also hypoallergenic.The eucalyptus fiber is sleek and durable without feeling as fancy as silk. This duvet is 100% Tencel lyocell, and according to Alpert, “You can see and feel the quality, especially when you take a closer look at the stitching.” This style comes with corner straps and a mini loop in the center so you can secure a duvet cover in the center without slippage. Long story short: This is a superb choice for a lightweight comforter and Alpert’s favorite by far. She adds, “It’s my go-to duvet insert for those in-between months of spring and early fall, when the weather is just chilly enough to want something cozy.”What to Look for in a Quality ComforterFill Power: Fill power measures the fluffiness and insulation of the comforter. The higher the fill power, the fluffier and warmer it will feel.Corner Loops: If there are corner loops or anchor loops, that means you can use the comforter as a duvet insert. If there are no loops, the comforter can be prone to clumping and bunching within the duvet.Fill Content: Fill content is usually classified as either down or down alternative options. Down refers to filling that’s made with duck down or goose feathers, and a down alternative is a man-made material including cotton and polyester fills, recycled materials, and plant-based fibers.Outer Shell: The material on the outer shell of your comforter or duvet insert matters. Look at the thread count. Consider your preferred sleeping temperature and whether a cotton sateen shell that’s smooth but slightly thicker is a better option than one made of crisp percale cotton. If you’re a hot sleeper, you’ll probably want a cooling material with breathability, like eucalyptus or Tencel lyocell.Size and Color: The size of your cover is dictated by the size of your bed. Companies usually offer all standard sizes from twin to king, with some brands offering California king as well. In terms of color, white is most popular for the duvet insert but you can also find ivory relatively easily. Comforter color ranges are more expansive and you can likely find a hue that fits your decor. We’ve called out what’s available in each of our picks.Craving better sleep?

Senior digital design editor Zoë Sessum agrees, noting that the price point (especially compared to offerings from competitors) is incredible for such high-quality bedding. “I would have no hesitation recommending anything from the brand,” she says. Filled with European white goose down and available in both lightweight and all-season options, this down duvet insert is designed with double-stitched seams and a baffle box construction to prevent lumps.West Elm HydroCool Cooling Down Alternative Duvet InsertAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: 100% HydroCool polyesterOuter Shell: 230 thread count, 100% brushed organic cottonAccordionItemContainerButtonMachine wash with warm water, tumble dry on low, and remove duvet insert promptly from the dryer.

Filled with a hypoallergenic blend of polyester and sustainably sourced Tencel lyocell fibers, this duvet insert is one that Gore describes as “breathable, fluffy and perfect for the everyday.” Hot sleepers are in luck—the insert comes in All Season or Extra Plush, allowing them to decide on the hydrocool fill that’s just right.More Comforters and Duvet Inserts We LoveCozy Earth Silk ComforterAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin, full/queen, and kingFill Content: 100% bamboo viscose or silkOuter Shell: Choose between viscose or silk—the material is the same inside and outAccordionItemContainerButtonSpot-clean or dry-clean.

It works, of course, as a duvet insert, thanks to the anchor loops.

Market director Madeleine O’Malley says this comforter is “luxurious and high quality” and loves how “soft and silky the material feels while the construction is still substantial and durable.”AccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: White down and feather blendOuter Shell: 300 thread count sateen weave lyocell shellAccordionItemContainerButtonMachine wash cold (large commercial washers work best!) with your favorite pro-planet detergent and hang to dry.

Coming in at $195 full price (though it often goes on sale), it makes a great budget choice for college grads and anyone else who tends to complain about the room being too cold at night. Senior digital design editor Sydney Gore has owned this comforter since its release in 2017, noting in her review that “it’s light, soft, breathable… everything you would ever want in a comforter that stays on your bed all year round.” Alternative down fills (like this one) don’t typically list a fill power, but a Buffy rep told us this has a fill power equivalent of 700.Pottery Barn Luxury 550FP European White Goose Down Duvet InsertAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: 550 fill power premium white Down clusters and feather blendOuter Shell: 300 thread count 100% cottonAccordionItemContainerButtonMachine wash in warm water on the gentle cycle.

He’s been burned before by synthetic down alternative comforters marketed toward hot sleepers because “while they are initially cool to the touch, they aren’t as breathable and cling to your body more.” That’s why he chose this down duvet insert from Pottery Barn, saying, “I wanted maximum loftiness, so I went with 700 fill power and the all-weather weight.”This is Pottery Barn’s most luxe bedding option, with a 400 thread count cotton damask striped shell, and 700-fill power European white goose down. His final impression was that this duvet insert is perfect for cozy all-season bedding. “I’ve wrapped myself in it through scorching summer heat and blustery winter nights, all without discomfort or feeling too overheated,” Davies says.The Company Store Cotton Wrinkle-Free Sateen ComforterAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full, queen, and king/California kingFill Content: Lofty, synthetic, 100% polyester fiber fillOuter Shell: 300 thread count, 100% combed cotton sateenAccordionItemContainerButtonThis comforter should be machine-washed on a warm setting with similar colors and tumble dried on low. Be careful not to overstuff your washer! Pop over to the laundromat instead of the dry cleaners if your washing machine is small.A brand that’s been in the bedding business for 100 years knows what it’s doing. The Company Store uses only premium raw materials that meet both environmental and ethical standards. “You can feel it in the comforter,” says SEO manager Katie Leirey, noting its silky smooth texture, thanks, in part, to the 300 thread count and 100% combed cotton sateen. The quality and material are incredible.” Leirey is a careful comforter shopper as she’s a hot sleeper, and this comforter is marketed for cold sleepers. But she was pleasantly surprised that when the comforter arrived, it was lightweight, with a “smooth, durable, and luxurious fabric.” However, if you’re looking for the fluff of a duvet insert, this might not be the best comforter for you. This brand also offers eight colorways in the Cotton collection.Sijo AiryWeight Eucalyptus ComforterAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: 100% Tencel lyocellComforter Cover: 100% eucalyptus fiber shellAccordionItemContainerButtonDry cleaning is the preferred method of care for this comforter, as it also helps keep the interior fiber fill distributed evenlyAt long last, a cold sleeper. Former ADIY editor Yelena Alpert tested this down alternative comforter with the stipulation that it keeps her warm throughout the night—she admits to sleeping under several layers. On the search for a “duvet insert that is lightweight but also does the job of keeping me warm (or at least helps me layer without the bulk),” she turned to Sijo, known for making some of the best cooling and lightweight products that are also hypoallergenic.The eucalyptus fiber is sleek and durable without feeling as fancy as silk. This duvet is 100% Tencel lyocell, and according to Alpert, “You can see and feel the quality, especially when you take a closer look at the stitching.” This style comes with corner straps and a mini loop in the center so you can secure a duvet cover in the center without slippage. Long story short: This is a superb choice for a lightweight comforter and Alpert’s favorite by far. She adds, “It’s my go-to duvet insert for those in-between months of spring and early fall, when the weather is just chilly enough to want something cozy.”What to Look for in a Quality ComforterFill Power: Fill power measures the fluffiness and insulation of the comforter. The higher the fill power, the fluffier and warmer it will feel.Corner Loops: If there are corner loops or anchor loops, that means you can use the comforter as a duvet insert. If there are no loops, the comforter can be prone to clumping and bunching within the duvet.Fill Content: Fill content is usually classified as either down or down alternative options. Down refers to filling that’s made with duck down or goose feathers, and a down alternative is a man-made material including cotton and polyester fills, recycled materials, and plant-based fibers.Outer Shell: The material on the outer shell of your comforter or duvet insert matters. Look at the thread count. Consider your preferred sleeping temperature and whether a cotton sateen shell that’s smooth but slightly thicker is a better option than one made of crisp percale cotton. If you’re a hot sleeper, you’ll probably want a cooling material with breathability, like eucalyptus or Tencel lyocell.Size and Color: The size of your cover is dictated by the size of your bed. Companies usually offer all standard sizes from twin to king, with some brands offering California king as well. In terms of color, white is most popular for the duvet insert but you can also find ivory relatively easily. Comforter color ranges are more expansive and you can likely find a hue that fits your decor. We’ve called out what’s available in each of our picks.Craving better sleep?

At AD, the optimal sleep setup isn’t just a fantasy but totally within reach, which is why sourcing the best comforters and duvet inserts—from down toppers to fluffy, featherless options—is always top of mind. We've tested dozens of options over the years for our annual Sleep Week. So we know the difference between down and down alternative ones. Our editors can also identify linen from sateen from lyocell with their eyes closed—you get the picture. We care about quality, a good night’s sleep, and easy laundering.With that in mind, we found the Buffy Breeze Comforter to be an all-around favorite for its texture, weight, warmth, and easy care instructions. It also comes in three weights and all bed sizes to suit every sleeper. But there are many more amazing comforters out there, so we’re sharing our full lineup of picks here, including cooling options for hot sleepers, heavyweight contenders for cold nights, and eco-friendly comforters made with sustainably sourced materials. Most of these comforters don’t require dry cleaning, but routine washing and a tumble dry cycle can extend the life of your comforter. (Don’t forget to tackle tiny messes with a quick spot-clean.)Once you’ve got the perfect comforter, dive into the best duvet covers, upgrade your bed sheets, or treat yourself to one of our favorite weighted blankets.Our Top Picks for the Best Comforters:Shop by Category:Our Favorites | More Comforters We Love | What to Look for in the Best ComfortersBest Comforters, According to Our EditorsAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: Plant-based fiber fillOuter Shell: 300 thread count, sateen-weave Tencell lyocell (made from sustainably sourced materials)AccordionItemContainerButtonDuvet cover recommended, which you can wash regularly. The Breeze comforter itself is not designed for washing machines. Spot-clean or, when needed, dry-clean.Looking for something lightweight and, well, breezy? This comforter—Buffy’s bestseller—is ideal for warm weather or for anyone who’s a hot sleeper in general, and it comes highly recommended by two of our editors. Commerce director Rachel Fletcher loves its look and weight. “The fibers are naturally a little heavier, which makes it more substantial and warmer than other cooling comforters I’ve tried [like the Casper], but it’s not as overwhelming as a traditional down comforter,” she says in her review. Like the original Buffy Comforter, it has loops in every corner, so it can be used interchangeably as a comforter or duvet insert.Our associate director Lori Keong also sleeps under the Breeze in the cooler months and notes that the wavy design on this eucalyptus-filled topper, inspired by Maya Lin’s Storm King Wavefields, looks especially aesthetically pleasing if you opt to use it without a cover.Boll & Branch Down Duvet InsertAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: Triple-washed, cruelty-free, IDS-certified down fillComforter Cover: Down-proof cotton shellAccordionItemContainerButtonCold water on gentle cycle, tumble dry low. Wash seasonally.Boll & Branch has cracked the code for breathable, exquisitely crafted bedding with this down duvet insert. The retailer is conscientious with their approach to supply chain and holistic practices, earning seals for Fair Trade Certified and Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS), which certifies you’re sleeping under something luxe that isn’t packed with microplastics.AD PRO senior editor Mel Studach can attest to this: This down insert has a 100% organic cotton shell that works as a breathable layer that’s strong enough to keep the fills from poking through. “The duvet insert made a great first impression,” Studach says, “And with attachable corner loops, the insert was easy to situate within my Blu Dot duvet cover. The baffle box construction keeps the down evenly distributed throughout the cover.” Studach recommends this for a year-round option if you like to keep your room cold and snuggle up. One last perk: Not only is it made with better-for-you materials, but the various weight options mean you can better personalize it to your sleep preferences.Boll & Branch Down Duvet InsertAccordionItemContainerButtonSizes available: Twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California kingFill Content: Natural down clusters and feathers sustainably sourced in CanadaComforter Cover: 400 thread count, 100% long-staple cottonAccordionItemContainerButtonSpot-clean recommended.

It comes in three varieties: lightweight (650 fill power), all-season (700 fill power), and ultra-warm (750 fill power).

The bottom line: The bedding is pure French flax linen without breaking the bank. Bed Threads is another brand with high-quality products that come in an incredible range of colors (currently 22!). A friend of mine has a range of sunset hues on his bed and frankly, I’m jealous (though it’s hard to go wrong with white linen sheets). I would sing the praises of these sheets any day.AccordionItemContainerButtonUnique colors availableDurableAccordionItemContainerButtonThe brand recommends washing alone on the delicate cycleAccordionItemContainerButtonMaterial: Bamboo viscoseAvailable sizes: Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, Split King, California KingColors: 12Design inspiration: Since the Art Deco aesthetic is all jewel tones and luxury, we recommend the Luxome sheet set for any one who wants something drapey and dramatic without the price tag of silk.Tester: Nashia Baker, senior commerce editorMy sleep preferences: As I noted above, I’m a pretty cold sleeper. But I crave a set of cooling sheets once blistering-hot NYC days come around June every year.My experience: These sheets are soft yet breathable, so much so that I forget that I sleep cold when these are on my bed. I love the lavish look for silk sheets, but the price tag usually makes me think otherwise. These sheets have the same appearance to me as a high-end set of silk or satin without the cost. These are even more unique because of the jewel tones like sapphire that’s hard to find with other brands.The bottom line: If you want the extravagance of silk at an affordable price, this is a great option. It boasts high-quality, sustainable materials that feel like they will last for years to come.More AD-Approved Cooling SheetsSijo Eucalyptus Sheet SetAccordionItemContainerButtonLightweightDrapes beautifullyAccordionItemContainerButtonAside from solid colors, there’s only a stripe print availableAccordionItemContainerButtonMaterial: TENCEL Lyocell Eucalyptus SheetsAvailable sizes: Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, California KingColors: 13Design inspiration: The earth tones and stunning draping make it ideal for a range of styles like modern and Art Deco bedrooms.Tester: Mel Studach, AD PRO senior editorMy sleep preferences: I tend to use just about every excuse possible to linger in bed in the morning, so I know better than to keep my bedroom so cool that I won’t want to get out from under the covers! Ideally, the room is set to around 67 degrees, but other than that, I’m not picky when it comes to sleep needs. When it comes to sheet needs, though, the feel of the fabric has to be ultra-soft.When made into bedding, specifically at Sijo, the result is incredibly soft, smooth, and hypoallergenic. The sheets remind me of my favorite silk shirt, airy and comfortable yet elegant. They are pleasantly lightweight, meaning that they not only drape beautifully along the sides of the bed, but they are also conveniently breathable—or “naturally cooling,” as the brand puts it.My experience: I’ve used the Eucalyptus sheets year-round at this point—under a lightweight quilt in the summer and a down comforter in the winter—and they’ve remained silky-soft and wonderfully breathable. I’ve certainly noticed a less humid sleep experience in comparison to my past sheet sets.The bottom line: I can’t get over how comfortable the set is, and—cooling aside—it has a fabulous sheen to it that still has me like a kid in a pet store, wanting to touch its softness every time I walk by. I’d certainly recommend it to friends, but only with the disclaimer that I don’t want to hear complaints if they (like me) struggle to get out from under these sheets in the morning.Piglet Heritage 100% Linen BundleAccordionItemContainerButtonVariety of patternsSturdy fabricAccordionItemContainerButtonYou have to shop bundles separatelyAccordionItemContainerButtonMaterial: European flax linenAvailable sizes: Twin, Full, Queen, King, California KingColors: 12Design inspiration: Calling all farmhouse design enthusiasts: This sheet set screams cottagecore thanks to the gingham prints.Tester: Zoë Sessums, senior digital design editorMy sleep preferences: Hot sleeper year-round, particularly fond of natural fibers.My experience: These are truly some substantial sheets, so the weight and sturdy feeling were noticeable first. I love the color range you can choose from, but I went with the classic white. The more I sleep in these sheets, the softer they get—it’s true. I also find the linen to be an ideal match for my typically hot body temperature. Apparently the weight of the fabric is part of why it helps with a deeper sleep too. Plus, the more wear on the linen, the softer it gets.The bottom line: Though this sheet set is a bit steep in price, the quality is unmatched and I predict I’ll use these for as long as they’ll last (seemingly incredibly long!). You really get what you pay for, so I would say these are A+++ sheets.Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet SetAccordionItemContainerButtonHypoallergenicClings nicely to the bedAccordionItemContainerButtonHas a heavier weight than others on our listAccordionItemContainerButtonMaterial: Bamboo viscoseAvailable sizes: Twin, Twin XL, Queen, King, Split King, California KingColors: 13Design inspiration: Bamboo might look and feel glossy for opulent spaces, but it is a versatile fabric. With the warm, breezy colorways available, we think this sheet set is a perfect fit for a coastal-inspired bedroom.Tester: Audrey Lee, commerce editorMy sleep preferences: Likes a supersoft, hypoallergenic sheet with good ventilation.My experience: Sleeping on these sheets felt like being draped in a luxuriously lightweight silk that often had me wishing I didn’t have to get out of bed in the morning. At first, I immediately noticed how next-level soft the bamboo viscose fabric was and how nicely the fitted sheet clung my bed. Though it still has a nice weight to it, the fabric is thin enough to allow air to pass easily through the layer and keep me comfortable all night long. Even more impressive, these sheets kept me cool and dry during a string of mid-90-degree days when I’d normally resort to using a fan to stay comfortable (which I prefer not to because of the noise). If I had just one wish, it would be that these sheets came in colors other than white (but thankfully, I’ve been told the brand is releasing more colors later this year!). Source link

I’ve certainly noticed a less humid sleep experience in comparison to my past sheet sets.The bottom line: I can’t get over how comfortable the set is, and—cooling aside—it has a fabulous sheen to it that still has me like a kid in a pet store, wanting to touch its softness every time I walk by. I’d certainly recommend it to friends, but only with the disclaimer that I don’t want to hear complaints if they (like me) struggle to get out from under these sheets in the morning.Piglet Heritage 100% Linen BundleAccordionItemContainerButtonVariety of patternsSturdy fabricAccordionItemContainerButtonYou have to shop bundles separatelyAccordionItemContainerButtonMaterial: European flax linenAvailable sizes: Twin, Full, Queen, King, California KingColors: 12Design inspiration: Calling all farmhouse design enthusiasts: This sheet set screams cottagecore thanks to the gingham prints.Tester: Zoë Sessums, senior digital design editorMy sleep preferences: Hot sleeper year-round, particularly fond of natural fibers.My experience: These are truly some substantial sheets, so the weight and sturdy feeling were noticeable first. I love the color range you can choose from, but I went with the classic white. The more I sleep in these sheets, the softer they get—it’s true. I also find the linen to be an ideal match for my typically hot body temperature. Apparently the weight of the fabric is part of why it helps with a deeper sleep too. Plus, the more wear on the linen, the softer it gets.The bottom line: Though this sheet set is a bit steep in price, the quality is unmatched and I predict I’ll use these for as long as they’ll last (seemingly incredibly long!). You really get what you pay for, so I would say these are A+++ sheets.Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet SetAccordionItemContainerButtonHypoallergenicClings nicely to the bedAccordionItemContainerButtonHas a heavier weight than others on our listAccordionItemContainerButtonMaterial: Bamboo viscoseAvailable sizes: Twin, Twin XL, Queen, King, Split King, California KingColors: 13Design inspiration: Bamboo might look and feel glossy for opulent spaces, but it is a versatile fabric.

At first, I immediately noticed how next-level soft the bamboo viscose fabric was and how nicely the fitted sheet clung my bed. Though it still has a nice weight to it, the fabric is thin enough to allow air to pass easily through the layer and keep me comfortable all night long. Even more impressive, these sheets kept me cool and dry during a string of mid-90-degree days when I’d normally resort to using a fan to stay comfortable (which I prefer not to because of the noise). If I had just one wish, it would be that these sheets came in colors other than white (but thankfully, I’ve been told the brand is releasing more colors later this year!). Source link

The bottom line: The bedding is pure French flax linen without breaking the bank. Bed Threads is another brand with high-quality products that come in an incredible range of colors (currently 22!). A friend of mine has a range of sunset hues on his bed and frankly, I’m jealous (though it’s hard to go wrong with white linen sheets). I would sing the praises of these sheets any day.AccordionItemContainerButtonUnique colors availableDurableAccordionItemContainerButtonThe brand recommends washing alone on the delicate cycleAccordionItemContainerButtonMaterial: Bamboo viscoseAvailable sizes: Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, Split King, California KingColors: 12Design inspiration: Since the Art Deco aesthetic is all jewel tones and luxury, we recommend the Luxome sheet set for any one who wants something drapey and dramatic without the price tag of silk.Tester: Nashia Baker, senior commerce editorMy sleep preferences: As I noted above, I’m a pretty cold sleeper. But I crave a set of cooling sheets once blistering-hot NYC days come around June every year.My experience: These sheets are soft yet breathable, so much so that I forget that I sleep cold when these are on my bed. I love the lavish look for silk sheets, but the price tag usually makes me think otherwise. These sheets have the same appearance to me as a high-end set of silk or satin without the cost. These are even more unique because of the jewel tones like sapphire that’s hard to find with other brands.The bottom line: If you want the extravagance of silk at an affordable price, this is a great option. It boasts high-quality, sustainable materials that feel like they will last for years to come.More AD-Approved Cooling SheetsSijo Eucalyptus Sheet SetAccordionItemContainerButtonLightweightDrapes beautifullyAccordionItemContainerButtonAside from solid colors, there’s only a stripe print availableAccordionItemContainerButtonMaterial: TENCEL Lyocell Eucalyptus SheetsAvailable sizes: Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, California KingColors: 13Design inspiration: The earth tones and stunning draping make it ideal for a range of styles like modern and Art Deco bedrooms.Tester: Mel Studach, AD PRO senior editorMy sleep preferences: I tend to use just about every excuse possible to linger in bed in the morning, so I know better than to keep my bedroom so cool that I won’t want to get out from under the covers! Ideally, the room is set to around 67 degrees, but other than that, I’m not picky when it comes to sleep needs. When it comes to sheet needs, though, the feel of the fabric has to be ultra-soft.When made into bedding, specifically at Sijo, the result is incredibly soft, smooth, and hypoallergenic.
