1 - Is this a TRUE baffle box? 2 - Are the feathers from MATURE geese?

Hello, Thank you for your questions. Not sure what you mean by "true baffle box". We do not know the age of the geese. Thank you for your interest.

I am not sure what a true "baffle box" is but I know this is a very warm and fits the bed well. The feathers do shift a bit but one or two good shakes and they are back in place. I can not tel if the feathers are from Mature geese as I have not seen any feathers from this comforter, which is a good sign. I live in Alaska and I find this to be very warm and cozy :)

It looks like a baffle box but is actually a straight line; the stitching on the baffle box does not go all the way through therefore the feathers stay in a straight/tubular line. I measured mine at 79" wide.

I'm not sure. It looks more like a feather to me, anyway. You could ask the maker. They might have a more definitive answer.

I removed the tag, but I think it suggests "dry clean". Since it is a dark cranberry color, and not the traditional white, I am thinking I won't have to have it cleaned very often. I've read where folks put them in washing machines, then dry in a dryer with tennis balls so the feathers don't ball up, but I personally don't know if this works or not.

I believe it is feathers. It can "poke" you occasionally. Over all, I am disappointed with this cover. It needs to be fluffed all the time, flattens out quickly.

A down comforter is full of feathers. Depending on the type of feather is going to make a difference in quality. As far as I am aware Siberian goose down is the best, and the reason is the quills (i guess thats what they are called) are soft so you don't experience that feather poking problem. Some people have allergies to feathers, or in general just don't want to deal with it, so they buy alternative comforters. They can be made of different materials, but in my experience, they are always firmer, and usually denser. Some people like that. Also, fill count is going to make a difference. If spending over $100 is a big deal to you like it was to me, I would recommend doing a little research on the specifications of the comforters, and then going to a store and feeling them for what you like. The best deals I have found are on amazon, but you may not want to go into the purchase with a "blind-feel".

It sounds like a very,very loud goose. One would have to be quite deaf not to hear it. Probably very close to car horn loud but with a very different tone.

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.

A down comforter is made with real goose down or feathers. An alternative is made from man made material.

Hi, I have not seen any roosters. The butterfly is a free standing unit. My butterfly fell off and I have had it quite awhile in the hot New Mexico sun and plan to just glue it back.The unit has stood up quite well!

NO! I was taken in by the photo which is quite a misrepentation of the product. It is simply a thin cover to put around a feather mattress you might already have or are going to buy. No feathers - just like a pillow case for your feather pillow.

They are plastic with an elastic band, and covered with real feathers and some sequins. I was happy with the quality, especially given the low price.

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....

They are striped as in the picture. But the "feathers" are more like sections of synthetic hair. Personally I did not like them at all. But, if you are going for a look with some colored hair extensions with some texture to them (the stripes) then this is a good option.

It doesn't need a baffle if it is hung correctly. Mine is hung on a rope between trees. Occasionally a squirrel finds it's way, but the birds rule. They also get along with each other---remarkably. Hope this helps.

According to the tag, it is 50% duck down feather and 50% duck feather. We absolutely love it. :)
