Side by Side Comparison of: Chezmoi Collection vs Grand Down

I was a little hesitant to try this at first because I was used to paying much more for comforters. I decided to try it because I really wanted the corner tabs to tie my duvet cover to and this seemed to be the only one with that feature. I was not at all disappointed; the cover is light and fluffy but very warm. Combined with the duvet cover it is just right, not too heavy to be comfortable.The fabric cover is thin, this would not be a good choice to use on its own but is perfect in a duvet cover and tying the corners is a must to keep a comforter in place inside a cover. If I buy a duvet cover without ties I make my own by cutting shoelaces in half and sew them in the corners of the duvet.

I have been using it for 3 years, it was great. Absolutely love it, also the price is good. Definitely recommend this piece, I can say it worth $43.00 I paid in 2013.P.S. i got rid of it,ONLY because my washing machine broke one day, and it just did not spin. It was all soaked in water, and it was impossible to recover. And YES I was washing it in the washing machine and it did not get damaged for years I was doing so... So I do recommend this product.

Good comforter, good fabric and quality

This is a wonderful duvet for the price! It seems to be woven great, feels soft not scratchy. It is lightweight but so warm perfect weight! Took it right out of the package and used it. Not any foul packaging smell or clumps in the duvet. I am really happy with it! I purchased the king for my king bed, it does cover the top of the bed with minimal overhang, I did order a larger duvet cover (108 x92) to compensate for a couple of more inches of hang off the bed. Works great! Super happy with it!

I have been used this goose down alternative comforter for months now. Experience is good so far.It's warm! Sometimes too warm, so I changed back to a thinner comforter. this can definitely keep you warm even you sleep in a cold room.It's comfortable and soft. And I LIKE IT!I purchased queen size, it's huge and it's wider than queen size mattress.Please vote helpful if you think this review helped you making your decision, so more people can be helped if they can see this.

Bought three of these wonderful comforters for overnight guests, our son, and our daughter and they were so popular we bought a King size for ourselves. Love how well they go through the wash. No more allergy problems! Although we chose white, we have been able to keep them looking brand new with frequent washings, and have no problems using bleach. Other comforters in the past would have issues with the filling moving around or bunching up after being laundered, but not these. We do have an extra-large capacity washer & dryer. Not sure how they would do in smaller laundry systems.

very nice comforter, soft and thick, NO SMELL. I'm using it folded once as a mattress topper under my fitted sheet and it is great!! have not been able to find adequate cushion and a friend suggested I try this idea, so glad. after trying foam mattress topper that was absolutely toxic smelling, this is a welcome alternative. looks well sewn, have not washed it yet so don't know how it will hold up. may order another in color if this one holds up.

I AGONIZED over picking out the perfect down comforter for my duvet cover. I just bought a whole new bed and mattress and all new bedding. I analyzed and shopped and picked apart reviews. I wanted something fluffy, good year around but still warm. And something that didn't sound like a tent. I've had a real down comforter before, and though they are nice and extremely warm, they aren't realistic for year around use. This one has a nice fill to it, the perfect weight and is so soft. I am happy.

Could not have bought a better comforter for the price. I have had it for about a year now and it is still in almost perfect condition. It would be in perfect if I would not let my dogs on the bed. I have bought comforters from department stores that cost 2x the price what were not as warm. It is very warm for the winter months but a little to warm for the summer months but who can complain about that. I have read many revieves on alternative down comforters about washing them constantly. I have 2 large dogs that love spending time on my bed so I constantly feel the need to wash it. I wash it in cold water and dry it on a delicate setting and that has not affected/altered the comforter in any way.

I traded out my old, stained, lumpy duvet for this comforter after it went on sale (probably because no one buys comforters in late spring. Shoppers, take note!). It's not too heavy but decently lofty (around 2" thick when puffed up) and fits perfectly in my duvet cover. I stayed warm and cozy without getting too hot or cold. Unless you live in the northern US with no power/heat in the middle of a blizzard, I expect this will be plenty warm enough for most people. The stitching seems nice and sturdy and I expect it should keep the batting from bunching up inside too much. I didn't want to pay $100+ for a comforter (the department store average price!) and at just over $36 on Amazon, this was a total steal.

Looks great! Real fluffy, smooth and soft to the touch. Looks great on my California King. Best comforter I've ever owned.

After reading and re-reading reviews on many down alternative comforters, and some were quite extensive, I became very skeptical about ordering something I couldn't see. However, I took my chances on this one because it had 5 stars all the way around even though there were only a few. I can tell you after receiving this comforter I was not disappointed! It is beautiful! The loft is everything I wanted and even fluffed up more after being on the bed a few days. The fabric is absolutely in the clouds soft and it is very well made. I've shopped many stores in my hometown and also visited many websites and don't think I could have found a better deal anywhere. I did take others suggestions and buy a King size for my Queen size bed because I like it to hang over a bit more on the sides and it is a perfect fit! It will keep us warm in the winter and not so hot in the summer! It's a good buy people!!

This comforter is very soft and comfy, VERY WARM. I bought this towards the end of spring when it was starting to heat up a bit, and quickly found it is much too hot to sleep with during any temperatures above about 60 degrees. I wanted to sleep underneath it so badly because it's so very soft and cozy but even if I fell asleep, I'd always wake up within a few hours to kick it off. I'm looking forward to the very cold winter months of Pennsylvania to hopefully finally get my full use out of it!

Chezmoi Collection White Goose Down Alternative Comforter, Full/Queen with Corner TabThis is a nice down alternative duvet. I have only ever purchased down in the past, but am tired of all the feathers going flat and bunching up in the corners. Plus, allergies.It's warm, but not too warm (I sleep hot), and has just enough weight to feel like you're covered. It is NOT a full fluffy style nor is it heavy. So if that's the look you want, this isn't for you. But with my mid-century bedding, it looks great - nice and neat and tailored inside the duvet cover.Also, bonus points for the loops for tying the duvet cover inside, though in reality, anyone could stitch these on any duvet themselves without too much trouble. It's just nice that the manufacturer included them.

This is my 1st alternative down comforter purchase ever, so I don't have much to compare to, but it seems to be the perfect amount of cool and warmth. It fit the cover i bought perfectly - I just wish either piece had some way to attach the comforter to the cover. Note - I have a Cal King bed, and for some reason, I have to purchase Cal King sheets, but a King comforter and duvet. But, this does fit perfect.

As other reviewers have pointed out, the real thing is not as large or fluffy as the picture. When I initially unwrapped it, I was afraid it was too thin. One person had complained that it was like a "padded sheet", and at first that seemed to be the case. However, once I got it in our duvet cover and used it, it really fluffed up. I'm actually very happy with this purchase. The queen size fit my full size bed very well. It's looks and feel voluminous, and felt perfectly soft even before the cover was on it. The one caution I have is that it gets VERY warm. I would not call it an all season comforter, as another reviewer did. It's awesome for chilly nights, but can get pretty sweaty in 80 degree Southern California.

If I was to buy a feather duvet like this, for this price, I would get stinky low quality feathers... I got this thinking it would be like my feather duvet, but it is not as fluffy/heavy, and cannot pass for a comforter the way my feather duvet can. My feather duvet is sewn in a way there are no seams, while this item clearly shows seem-sewing all around the edges, and is obvious that it is a duvet and not a comforter. This does not really bother me, as I bought this with the intention of putting it in a duvet cover. I gave product three stars because I paid the same for this as I did my feather duvet... and still believe the low quality feather duvet to be of better quality than this. My feather duvet does keep me warmer... I believe I will keep both duvets and interchange the covers between the warmer and colder months.

I have not owned the product long enough to state how well it washes and dries, if it holds shape, and how it holds up to everday wear.

Update 1/31/14... I added a star... the duvet is fluffier now that it has fully expanded from packaging. Although it is not as warm as my feather duvet, I am pretty impressed something as fluffy and lightweight as it is, is as warm as it is. Beneficial, in that, it is breathable. Also, seems the material is magical... my 3 small dogs dirtied my feather duvet before I could even get a cover for it... this one, it is almost as if it repels dirt... still white and bright.

I do like this duvet and it's kept us warm in our 65 degree house, but if you bought anything larger than a queen/king, I would strongly recommend NOT washing it in the washing machine. I bought a king and tried to wash it and I ended up with a duvet that had 2-3 tears in it. I followed the washing instructions perfectly. I exchanged it and do not plan on washing the new one. Soooooo, unfortunately if you have a need to wash it, you may consider bringing it to the dry cleaners.

I like it. Hubby gets hot and kicks it off during the night sometimes. It is definitely warm. I occasionally stick my feet out the side to cool off. It makes a cocoon of warmth. I love the weight and feel of it though. Not sure if we will be able to use it in the summer though.

I really like this alternative down comforter but it wasn't as fluffy as I thought it was going to be. It's still a great comforter and I definitely enjoy it! It's comfortable and kind of light. The microfiber its made of is super soft. I ended up putting an identical microfiber duvet over it. I also have a queen size bed and purchased the King as people have mentioned and it definitely looks nice! However, my queen bed is raised a bit high, if it was any lower, I think the comforter would be pretty close to the floor. Depends on how you like the style!

When I looked for a duvet I was overwhelmed with all the options. There were so many to pick from. I finally picked this one. I am glad I did. This duvet is about two inches thick. It is so thick most nights I don’t even sleep with it (this is the middle of summer in Texas). I wanted the fluffiest duvet I could find and this one definitely fit the bill.When you take this duvet out of the packaging it instantly starts swelling to size. It is extremely large (king is what I ordered) and extremely heavy. I can lift this on my own though. The king size only has a couple inches hanging over on the sides but I don’t use this duvet all the time so that is just what I wanted. I leave this duvet folded at the end of my bed. When needed I just lift it up. This duvet is very soft on its own. It is a nice white material and if you are looking for a soft white duvet this is it.The only con I have is that (in my opinion), this is not an all seasons down comforter. I find it extremely warm even after a few minutes of using it and I keep my house on a cool 72 with a fan blowing on me. I think this will be perfect for the winter though as I usually don’t turn on my heater.I love this duvet still though. This duvet was also very easy to put in a cover. I found it easy to tie all four corners to the duvet cover without issues.

Ah I wanted so bad to write 5 stars until I washed it. I waited to write a review so that I could follow the washing directions exactly and see the results. LOVED the comforter before washing. It is soft, lightweight but still warm. It keeps me warm enough to not need another blanket and my boyfriend cool enough to not have to rip it off in the night. It stays fluffy and the cats fur doesn't stick like crazy to it.Now to the washing part. I followed the directions exactly, cold water, delicate cycle. The seams started to rip in the corner and the fluff came out. I called Amazon to see my options, they said I can send it back and wait for another one. I loved the comforter before though and don't want to wait around for another after the refund process and everything. So I sewed it up myself and will have to find another way to wash it. Also another note, I bought the king size for my queen bed and it hangs just right off of the edge on both sides. The queen would be a little too short on both sides in my opinion. Hope this helps someone!Edit after having it for almost a year: Still use it! Still fluffy! I take it to the dry cleaners now. I upped it one more star (from 3 to 4) because of the longevity of its softness. Thanks!

Pretty nice and comfortable. Not very fluffy even after week. Not all seasons. Ideal for rooms 60 or below otherwise you start sweating profusely. Recommend cotton sheets to help keep cool.

Quality is uneven. I ordered two queen comforters which I would give at least four stars, but then I ordered the king and it is no where near the same quality. It is very linty, shedding all over the sheets. I never have that problem with the queen comforters, the finish is just not the same. I regret that I did not return the king. The queens are still new looking while the king is already worn, even though it is newer.

So while this comforter is soft and the perfect weight for San Diego weather, I find it small for my king. It barley covers my mattress and my duvet has an empty like 4 inches on the sides because of it. It absolutely does not hang over like in the picture. Sometimes I wonder if the packaging got mislabeled and I got a queen instead of a king. Other than that though I really do like it.

I've purchased down-alternative comforters from Marshall's and Target before, and this didn't have the feel I was expecting. Don't let the pictures fool you; it's definitely more like a regular fiber filled comforter than a down alternative. My other down-alternative blankets are a pleasantly crunchy and stiff, giving them that feather blanket feel. This isn't like that at all. And it really holds in the heat! Another review said it doesn't breathe, and boy were they right. I realize this may be a plus to some people, but ours is being used this in a basement bedroom, where it's usually very cold, and it's almost too much. You really cook under this thing. All things considered, it was a good price and we're keeping it. I just wanted others to be aware of what they're getting before they purchase it.

The illustration is deceiving. It's too short for my King size bed. 1" of mattress shows on both sides. And it does not work at all turned around in the other direction since it seems designed for a dual bed size, king and California king. I'd like to return it but I'm sure I'll be stuck paying shipping. I don't like deceiving illustrations and photos.

I bought it to fill out my wonderful duvet which looks dull, and flat with my old down ikea blanket. I used a safety pin on all four corners to connect the two blankets, like I saw at a nordstrom bed set up. I was wondering what comforter got their beds to look so fluffy. The answer was two down comforters! I obviously wasn't about to buy another $200 comforter. Enter, the white goose down alternative: cheap, quickly shipped and light weight. I was worried that two would be really hot, but it is breathable and it looks amazing now. I removed two stars because there was filling that was floating around my room from this blanket but I didn't see any busted seams. I just hope it lasts!

I was just able to open my package and pull out the comforter. It is indeed very soft but sadly I didn't even have to wash it before it started to lose its seams and a bit of the stuffing. I will go ahead and sew up the seams that are frayed but will for sure need to get a duvet cover. I do not regret my purchase because the blanket does seem overall pretty nice but yes, just keep in mind that you may need to get a cover or mend a few seams or both.

I like the weight and loft of this duvet, but my husband has been waking up drenched in sweat every night since we got it. He's not typically a hot sleeper (I am), but his sheets and pillow are soaked in the morning. It's only been in the 30s here at night, so I can't imagine we'll be able to use this for any but the coldest nights.

This is definitely not all season. I don't sweat in the day time but when I'm sleeping, depending on my covers, I do. So I was looking for something to rectify the situation. This is not it. It's 100% polyester inside and out, which does not breathe. It is beautiful and soft, and the price was right. I am so sad to return it. But if you are prone to sweating, this will NOT be the summer blanket for you.

The shipping time was outstanding. The blanket is smooth and very soft to the touch. The weight of it does not seem warm enough for winter months, but on cool nights or summer nights would be sufficient. We returned this though because it advertises itself as a down alternative. While yes, it is an alternative to down, it is still just polyester fibers that fill it. The kind that over time might bunch up in the wash. I was sad to return it, but we are looking for the down alternative material that actually feels like down.

Really like the softness of this, but unfortunately it's wayyyy too thick, heavy, and hot. I would not consider this an all season item, but rather really cold winter. My girl says it squishes her so I actually had to get rid of it and now it's just sitting on the couch for movie nights. I wish it worked better. If anyone has a recommendation for a different blanket for my bed, I would be interested in hearing more.

for the price, this isn't that bad. i recently upgraded the bed from a lil old nasty full to a big fancy memory foam king. so the overhaul was pretty expensive. i plan to replace this with a real down comforter, but in the meantime this was meant to be a stand in. It's actually not terrible, but I've had fake down ones that felt a little closer to the real thing. i didn't understand the reviews, as I usually partially base my purchase decisions on them. The best way I can describe it, is that its basically a fancy white comforter. The material is soft and nice enough that I could see not using a cover, but if you are trying to get a down substitute, it's the furthest thing from. The fill is straight up poly-fil and doesn't have the feel or consistency of a down alternative. I'm kind of burned out on the bedding search right now, but come summer I know that the comforter is going to be too hot. Hopefully I will find something better by then!

Not happy with this purchase, but I don't hate it. It feels... cheap. Not super cheap, but not worth what I paid for it, and I thought that was a good deal at the time. The comforter is thin. If you have a nice duvet cover like we do, it won't be so bad. I wouldn't want this weird fabric touching my bare skin though.

Honestly I didn't like it after trying it with my duvet cover. I thought I'd save some by going with this duvet insert instead of the one my fiance got for his, but I should have spent more money in getting his type. It slides around so much inside the cover, that after a night of sleeping, it bunched up in one area and ended with lots of empty space in another. it feels too hot as well. Just overall didn't like.

Not at all a goose down comforter alternative! My parents have a real goose down comforter and after sleeping with it for a week back home, I wanted something similar for my own bed.

I got this after reading some reviews and the "goose down alternative" description but after having used it myself, I can say I'm very disappointed. It's not very fluffy, not very soft, and just very cheap feeling.

Guess you get what you pay for. I would've rather spent more money for something more comfortable given that I plan on using it every night for many years...

Only have since 12/30/14 inserted in Chezmoi Duvet. Kept me warm. No complaints until I washed it. Putting winter bedding away, always wash first. Well, this came out with the threading in square unraveling & the stuffing was balled up in some of the squares. I can get them to spread out. I can"t even donate. It is a mess. Hate putting in landflil. So very disappointed. Good I guess if you never wash it.

I'll give it three for the price, but it's thin and feels like a polyester blend (makes a slick noise to the touch, which is annoying when you sleep with a tosser and turner!). I had gone to Ross and found a nice cotton alternative down, but took my chances on this one based on the reviews. Upon feeling it still in the bag, I was disappointed and almost returned it. Decided against it since it's just another stress to deal with. It certainly doesn't look as fluffy as the cover photo, but my queen fits true to size.

8/9/14
Updated to two stars because I found MULTIPLE other down alt comforters with more fluff (this comforter is super thin) and a better fabric (this one looks quite cheap, a dull polyester blend) at Ross/Marshalls/TJ Maxx for (1) cheaper (2) or slightly more expensive. It's just not worth it to order this online, and now hassle with returning it, because it's so flat!
I'd say, if you hate shopping, then just go for this. It looked pleasant on my bed and fit true to size. However, it's really flat and the polyester blend is pretty lackluster. It's not a bad deal, but it's not great either. It's not any cheaper than you would get in-store...where you can actually feel it before purchasing it.

The comforter's quality is very decent, and I would've been happy to use it on my bed IF ONLY the size description. I got sent a comforter of a different size and it is not usable with my duvet covers. Very disappointed to be stuck with a comforter I cannot use.

It's thin and flat, but warm. It's what you would expect for the price. Don't expect a fluffy comforter, it is not. I mean, it could be a fluffy sheet.I had to edit my review since I have had this for about 3 and a half months. The first time I washed it, it held it's formed. When I dried it on low heat... IT MELTED!!!!! It literally looks like I set it on fire on one corner!!! It's about 5-6 inches long and about the same in width. When you wash it, lay it flat somewhere to dry!!! I was going to purchase another one, but since it has gone up $20 I decided against it because it's not worth it.

I don't understand how this can be called an "All Season" comforter. In winter it was cozy and warm, but when March and April hit, it was intolerably hot under this comforter. I'm typically a cold sleeper, but I was sweating through the sheets in nights at just around 50 degrees. Now I'm forced to purchase a second comforter, which is exactly what I was trying to avoid when looking for one that would be comfortable all year round.

Returning this product because its too hot. Its advertised as an all season, but I feel like my apartment is freezing (literally around 60 or below in the winter... we don't have any internal heating system and live off of space heaters only) and the comforter still is too hot at night.I've never gotten night sweats before this comforter. This is just too hot, and would be ridiculous for summer. Maybe if you live in the snow this would be okay?

Was so happy when I first got this. It is so soft and comfortable. Soon after sleeping with it I began to hate it. It gets very very hot while sleeping to the point I can't use it. My room is also very cold at night so this is definitely due to the blanket. This is definitely not an all seasons blanket. Maybe a very very cold night blanket

First, for the positive, which is the price. However, like most things in life you get what you pay for. Like others have commented, the stitching around the edge was poorly done and is already coming unraveled. It was like this out of the box. Also, there was loose fill floating around the box and on my sheets after I tried out the comforter, so somewhere there is a "leak". It seems soft enough for the price, and if this was absolutely all I could afford I would probably keep it. However, it doesn't have that cloud-like or airy feel to it that higher end down or down-alternative comforters have- this comforter has a much heavier feel than that. If you are seeking the cloud-like, airy feel of a down comforter, this won't be it.

I got this last year before winter. I still keep it but thinking of getting rid of it this winter. It is alergenic. Me and my wife completely unsatisfied with its material at all. It does not brearh and causes perspiratiın a lot. I am still confused how this thing worked for many. But as I said it is made of polyester or some sort of nylon which causes iching.

Was so excited to see such a reasonable price for a product with such great reviews. Noticed one review that said they'd received a queen size in a king package, but I hoped it was a fluke in the landslide of positive reviews. But the same thing happened to me. Ordered a king, packaging was marked as king, put it on my bed...it was the same size as the queen I was trying to replace. Measured it and it was the dimensions listed for queen. The dimensions they gave for king size were exactly right for my duvet cover, which is huge next to the insert. I'm returning and am now highly skeptical about all of moderately priced duvets with rave reviews available on Amazon... shenanigans?

My Chezmoi comforter arrived today, I was so excited to use it after I read a load of five star reviews. Garbage. It is as flat as a pancake, with no weight to it at all. I wasted $40 plus dollars on something that I will never use. You get what you pay for, except this isn't worth even $20. Save your money, buy a decent bottle of wine instead!

The item was received in two days. I give that one star but I got that only on being a prime member. As far as the comforter save your money it is paper thin and the so called down alternative filling feels like what comes in a cheap pillow you would see at a swap meet or the stuffing that comes out of your dog's stuffed animal. The outside feels smooth and some what soft but it's not worth the money. I just completely waisted my money I knew I should have just bought a real one

When I opened the package and felt the comforter, I was pleasantly surprised. So I did what I thought normal people do, and I washed it prior to using it. I washed it on Gentle Delicate cycle, and wen it was done, I pulled it out of the wash and it was torn in 3 spots. Cotton was literally coming out of 3 different holes in the comforter. My wash has never torn any of my other comforters, sheet,s clothes, or anything else. I feel that this is because of the poor quality.

I returned it.

I'm really disappointed in this because it is way too small for a king size bed. It doesn't fit well in my duvet cover, way too small. We tried to see if we could adapt to it and it just ended up not working out. Now I'm back to square one with a duvet that doesn't fit the size it should. :( I would definitely recommend measuring your bed and/or duvet cover before you purchase. As far as the material, I think it is nice, definitely soft, not very fluffy but we weren't looking for fluffy.

I washed this according to the instructions and after the first wash a small tear appeared. I sewed up the tear and after the second wash the corners completely tore apart and half of the stuffing came out.

This item is not machine washable as it states. It nearly broke our washing machine, which is brand new and top of the line. Not only that, but it retains so much water so it takes days to line dry. We are sending it back and purchasing elsewhere.

no where close to a Cal King size. Not sure why the size says cal king/king the are 2 totally different sizes. I will be sending it back

king/cal king means king. I looked forward to getting nice and toasty last night but my feet were sticking out. Brrrr!this is NOT a cal king although you would think it was by the order description!

The product image shows a "puffy" comforter with lots of fill. That wasn't what I received - mine is dead flat. The shell also isn't particularly soft, even compared to other microfiber comforters - if you like high thread count cotton, you might like the feel, but if you're more a modal / jersey knit / comforter that feels like a t-shirt sort of person, as I am, you'll be disappointed.
