are you finding loose feathers with this comforter?

No there haven't been any. We used it for 3-4 months without a cove. Once the white started to get dingy from hands so we got a duvet and after 2 months there are no loose feathers inside.

I am finding lots of loose feathers all around my floor / room. Every morning when I shake it straight, the small feathers fly everywhere!

We see very,very small fine white feathers coming through a dark duvet cover on my son's bed. we also use it on my daughters bed and since her duvet is light, the feathers don't show. If my son's was light I never would have noticed.

We use it inside a slipcover. That said I don't think so. Pretty warm though. I call it more of a "medium" warmth. Good luck.

lots and lots and lots....have had it for a year now and have it in a hypoallergenic duvet cover that keeps things as small as dust mites from coming out, so keeps them from flying everywhere...HOWEVER today I took it out (outdoors) to wash it and I am covered with down!!!

I have my comforter contained in a duvet, so I don't notice any feathers coming out if there are any. Regardless, I LOVE this comforter. So warm. Maybe too warm in the summer, but in the winter I'm almost immediately warm.

if you have an extra large home machine (commercial ones are more likely to cause increased damage) and one of the special detergents available for down or fine washables, then sure, wash away. Like any item with special care suggestions, your comforter will last longer if you care for it correctly. The oils in your body, cigarette smoke, etc. ( use a search engine and do your homework) break down the feathers. They need to be fluffed daily, and the instructions will tell you not to sit heavy items on it... including sitting on it yourself. A duvet cover is recommended to keep all of your feathers, as they will work themselves out over time. This is one of the better brands, and has a great price, and very minimal feather loss. Once it"s wet, it is very heavy. The more any of them are agitated (ringing it out by hand will break the feathers down, too. The height you will lose is the term "loft.") Washing by machine will shorten it's lifespan. I might do it myself ... occasionally. But not without a very good reason. Good Luck.

I'm not sure what that is exactly, but I haven't noticed anything that would allowing tying. Also, you may want to consider another down comforter because this one blows feathers like crazy.

I threw mine away a few months ago. The feathers stuck out so bad I had to get rid of it. I hated it from the moment I received it. Don't buy this one! I ended up buying another one from Big Lots and was much happier!

It's a cover. So feathers may still come out of your pillow, but they would stay in the cover.

It is a little warm. I have a difficult time getting sheets or mattress pads that will cover both the mattress and the feather bed. You are better off using a separate cover made just for the feather bed. I do not have a problem getting stuck by feathers at all. Very comfortable.

None you have to buy all the pillows and shams. Don't wash the comforter it will never be the same

I am afraid I cannot answer that. I can tell you my husband feels the comforter is too warm where as I feel it is just right.

I have the feathers and I don't use it ..too soft for me..u can buy mine for less :) I used it 3 times with a protective cover on top.....so its almost brand new....

Hmm...I've not used a feather bed before. It feels very warm. I live in the twin cities and keep the temp at night at 50 degrees. I don't think a cotton stuffed comforter would be able to give that kind of warmth, but that's only an educated guess. I've been extremely pleased with this purchase. Given how it has held up over the coldest winter in 10 years [in Minnesota], I would definitely purchase it again.

Not at all! It's very comfortable. I had a featherbed topper before this, and that made me warm, but this is just comfortable.

No, it doesn't. It is a problem that I am having . If the comforter stays put, it is not inclined to slide in the first place. I would not buy it again.

I have only had my duvet for a few months and I haven't had any problems with the feathers comin thru. The only closure the duvet has though, are buttons. Guess it depends how bad yours shed.

Good question. I'll try to answer the best that I can. We have never had any small to large feathers come out, but what we have found is that very small (approximately the size of the lead tip on a pencil) feathers come out regularly. We have limited the unsightliness of this by using a duvet cover. This comforter is not very thick but we found it works great here in the D.C. area where winters range between 0 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. After going through a couple of winters with this comforter, I would still highly recommend it and it still performs and looks as good as it did on the first night we used it. Good question.

I had like 2 or three feathers come out when i first took it out of package but haven't had any since. I absolutely LOVE IT!! Were using it now since its winter over here on the east coast. Keeps us warm and feels like were in a hotel at the same time.

Yes. Keeping the filling in place is not an issue with this comforter. It is a terrific comforter.

I have one and I am not a big fan of dry cleaning down. The chemicals are not good for the feathers. I have a large capacity front load washer that I used with a mild detergent and it came out beautiful. I would not use the sanitize setting on the washer. I also dried it at home on a gentle setting. Next time I will have it professionally laundered, ensuring a mild detergent is used. The feathers get brittle a break from dry cleaning. These comforters last for years if taken care of properly. Just think of the detergent used to clean ducks and shore birds after an oil spill ;-)
