is this just as warm as a down comforter?

Extremely warm! In fact, you may want. to turn down the heat another five degrees.

Definitely! Plus, I noticed when paired with a wool mattress it never gets too hot even in summer.

The comforter is soft but it is not silky nor does it have a satin like hand. It is thick. My husband and I have both noticed it is warmer than our previous comforter.

The warmth is not the same as an electric blanket as it comes from the bottom, not the top. My husband is cold blooded, I'm not. He is able to stay warm and I just need enough to take the chill off. I guess it depends on how warm you want it. I'm happy to say I'm satisfied.

I would like to say it is fluffy. But not as much fluffy as down comforter.

It's nice, won't be needing it in the warm weather tho. It's more comfortable, lighter than our old down comforter.

I don't think it's down, it's a nice soft material. It's not made the best and a little thin- you get what you paid for but I definitely feel I got my money's worth. It's great for the warmer temps.

It's not an extremely thick comforter, and relative to a down, it's pretty slim.I would think about this as more of a thick blanket thickness. For visual reference, the comforter just sitting on the bed, is around 2" thick. You would be able to squeez it thinner, or fluff it up, but that's about it.Hope that helps.

Have only had this comforter since Spring so not through a winter yet. That said, my husband feels that this comforter is going to work year 'round. Our other one is very lofty down and I'd always get hot in the middle of the night with it even in Winter. We live on an island in Washington State so winters are fairly mild.

It's not what I would think of as micro-fleece, however I'm not an expert. To me it's "slippery" due to the sheen of the fabric, and it is the exact same on both sides....It's not what I would say is a warm feeling but acceptable.

A feather bed is heavy - you sleep on top of it. A cotton stuffed comforter is bulky, heavy, and not so warm. This down comforter is light, airy, incredibly warm. It breathes well and is not clumpy like cotton.

Not at all. In fact I love it! I stay warm but not hot like down ccomforters. I got my friend to buy one and they love it also.

It is EXTREMELY warm! I was a bit disappointed as our old, ratty one that I was looking to replace had been perfect, summer or winter. This was a bit too warm with the bedding we used with the old one in the summer, but I'm going to try it again now that it's winter. And perhaps try different bedding for summer. Definitely a quality comforter.

We live in the Northwest. We have found that the comforter is great, as long as our weather does not get too warm. When it does get warm in the summer, we find this comforter is a bit too warm. This comforter is described as "lightweight", and it is light and airy to sleep under, but it might be too warm for you. Hope this helps.

It feels like a mixture of down alternative with a touch of gel in the material. I say this because when you move to an area not already warm from your body it has that sensation. I love mine and have never slept better. This thing is very warm once your body heat has warmed it up and I need very few covers, even on the coldest night. Hope this helps!

Window open at -10 degrees, hmmm? I too need to feel and smell fresh air 24/7 even if it's only a crack. I live in CT and it gets to single digits in the winter, but -10? I can only tell you that I am plenty warm enough with this comforter and have never had to put an additional blanket on top of it. Too me, it's very warm and insulating, but I have never gone down to -10. It's light and fluffy and cool in the summer, warm and snuggly in the winter.

This wool filled comforter isn't any heavier than I expected, probably somewhere between down and a polyester fiber filling. It was quite warm though. In the warmer months of the mid-atlantic it's folded up at our feet or off the bed.

Yes, very warm with the comforter inside. Our comforter is lightweight. It is also not to warm for fall or spring.
