There should be a Goldilocks-style evaluation process when weighing your options for the best bedding—and evaluating the best comforters on Amazon is no exception. You don’t want to be too hot or too cold. Nor do you want a comforter that’s too light or too heavy. You want to feel cozied up and practically embraced in a warm hug—regardless of the season. There are plenty of popular duvet inserts and comforters, including some down alternatives with a microfiber filling. As for the real deal, down comforters are known for their superior warmth and breathability, and they’re typically assessed for the following factors:
- Exterior construction: It’s best to look for a comforter with squares stitched into it that also has side walls. This is called baffle-box construction, which West Elm once told us means “each chamber has an equal amount of fill and the side walls prevent the fill from shifting.” A baffle-box comforter will never be totally flat in one corner while the other is full and fluffy.
- Exterior fabric: We’re talking soft, high-quality cotton.
- Fill: 100% down, ideally!
- Fill power: The higher the fill power, the warmer the comforter.
