Side by Side Comparison of: AmazonBasics vs Chezmoi Collection

We have animals and I thought the microfiber would attract hair. It does not, it repels it. Very much so worth the money coming from a dog owner. Excellent​ Quality for the price!

Exactly what was advertised, great quality, and fantastic price. Delivered super fast, very comfortable, and the color is actually very nice. These are high quality items, long lasting color, and they don't flatten and become lumpy after just a few washes which really makes me appreciate the life of them. Better than most things I find in local stores and a fraction of the price.

Arrived on time and looks exactly like the one in the picture. After many years of spending on expensive comforter sets from Bed Bath and Beyond and several other stores, I decided to look on Amazon.com. Loved the color, style as well as the price so placed the order. I didn't expect this to look and feel exactly like I had imagined -- BUT IT DOES!! Looks great and feels great too, very comfortable and the price is unbeatable. I will continue to shop on Amazon for bedding/bath related needs.

Awesome set!!!

The colour is more grey than blue in photo. The comforter is not too thick but good for what I need. The material is nice and satiny to the touch. I would say good quality for price.

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.

Purchased for our guest room, sheets aren't the most comfy being a poly blend, great for a spare room or if you're looking for a value to have everything included. Owned for about a year now and has had frequent use and washed several times and everything has held up quite well. Maybe skip the dryer on the comforter and let air dry.

I love the shams and comforter, even the white pillow cases are not bad. However, the sheets are ginormous! They would fit a king or a really thick queen. I bought this for a full size bed and the sheets are just way too big. However if you are buying this for a queen size bed, the sheets will fit better but the comforter will not, it will be too short on the sides because the comforter fits our full so well. We have a box spring and a 6.5 in mattress. Wish this just came with the comforter and pillow cases/shams for 10/15 dollars less. The color is really great though.

Visually appealing and normal quality product. The sheets are very thin and actually are see through, but the set is nice to use for a spare bedroom to look nice.

I was pleasantly surprised with this set. I needed something cheap but comfortable. This set is nice. The color is slightly off on my screen, but not enough for me to care.

The shams and comforter are nice and feel of good quality. The fitted sheet leaves something to be desired. The elastic isn't stitched in like on better quality items, and the thread count isn't great. (you can see the mattress through them) I also noticed a few loose threads on the fitted sheet. That said, it has held up so far, and is comfortable to sleep on. The comforter is warm, and I don't need to turn my heat on to stay warm.

It'd be good as a backup set, or for a guest room

I wasn't really in the market for a bed in a bag bundle, but I thought some light browsing wouldn't hurt. To my surprise, I stumble upon this set that's a part of the Amazon Basics product line. I didn't even know they offered home decor and bedding items. I thought their Basics line was purely electronics.

Anyways, I purchased this I am very pleased. It's pretty much 100% polyester, but it feels great and perfect for what I need it for. It's great to have a backup set when it comes to laundry day and the main comforter and bed sheets must be washed. This set actually goes perfectly with my carpet from Target as they have the same design. How ironic??? I knowwwww!!! The only complaint I have is I wish the price was a tad more friendly. Sure, it's cheaper than most sets at Macys, but still. Its the principal of the matter and I come to Amazon looking for good, quality, bargains. I got the full, but i wish it was the same price as the twin.

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.

better than expected - good for guest bedroom ; less wear and tear

The bed set looked really nice online and I decided to buy it based on the good reviews I read. The
CONS: the fitted sheet, flat sheet and pillowcase were all so thin I could see through them- almost sheer. There were snags on all 3 after 1 cycle in the normal wash. I'll stick to buying cotton sheets; no more polyester for me from now on.

PROS: package arrived on time, the comforter is thin but fluffy and the sham is of better quality than the sheets. A bit scared to wash the comforter after seeing what happened to the sheets thought

I love the color and design of the comforter. It is slightly small for a full much less a queen, however. The sheets that came with it are super thin and a weird white which has led to me having to purchase more that match the bedspread. It was a simple buy for the price. I'm about 70% satisfied with it.

White thin crummy sheets, people! I had somehow completely missed this fact when ordering! The comforter is nice, but I ordered this "set" because it was cheaper than ordering separately and now I'm going to have to order and pay for some new sheets. :(

Very pretty, classic looking, easy care set. Decent quality. The only problem I had is when I took it out of the package there looked like some color changes on the comforter, I didn't think twice about it, figured it was the lighting (it was evening )and I threw it in the wash. The following morning while putting it on my bed I noticed they were all over :/. I didn't want to go through the hassle of returning it so my advice to you is to inspect it closely before washing it and getting rid of the packaging.

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!

The sheets are thinner then paper.

I should NOT have purchased this product! I know you get what you pay for and at this price I should have truly known better. If you like really thin, sleazy and cheaply made bedding this is the product for you. I suppose this is what you get for this price, it is probably a fair product for a cheap price. I should have paid triple and gotten better quality.

Looks great, but the blanket is too small for the bed. Definitely go up a size when ordering.

I really wanted to love this set but....we ended up replacing the first set we ordered because the comforter seams started coming apart after using the set for less than 3 weeks, and the fitted sheet wouldn't stay in place on our bed. Amazon quickly sent a replacement (which was great!), but this set isn't any better. The fitted sheet WILL NOT stay in place. It is probably a great set for a guest bedroom that isn't used frequently, but it is not an everyday set. Disappointing but somewhat expected at this price point.

The picture clearly shows white pillowcases and white sheets. The comforter is pretty nice but the rest is very thin and definitely will not last. I was kind of expecting sheets in the same color scheme as the comforter.

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 sheet came with a stain.

I really, really wanted to love this set. But it developed spots after the first washing (I suspect cheap fabric damage), and has not held up well with heavy use. I rent out my spare room and wash this after each guest, so it's been washed probably 30 times in the last two months. It now has worn tears in two places. The sheets also don't match, as they are cream and the pattern is white.

I do understand that this is a cheap, basic bedspread, but I am bummed that it didn't hold up better. I will now be purchasing a quality duvet cover so I can continue using the bedspread (which is a perfect weight) without being embarrassed at its tattered condition.

Uncomfortable.

The contents of this package were 100% wrong.

The sheets and pillow case is white, I didn't like it!!! it didn't show that in the picture,

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.
