Love our down comforters. We must have at least 5 in the house. I've tried to convert my mom to down, but she thinks they're too light and prefers several layers of wool blankets.

Hope you get your system fixed soon. If we ever built a new house, I'd be sure to get geothermal. It seems like the perfect system.

Ours is a lightweight one and I love the weight of it -- or the non-weight of it. Fluffy and warm is the best.

I sleep with mine year round.. and love it and the weight. This winter I added a flannel duvet cover which I feared I'd hate (no more hot flashes but I do sleep "warm") I am IN LOVE with the flannel cover. I do get warm at times when the heat kicks in.. but I just flip part of it over if needed and then pull it back in about 10 min. It's divine.

This is the cover I went with-- a med weight flannel from Garnet Hill

Love my down comforter!

I love down and have a hard time sleeping with anything else. We just spent a week at my parents' place and my mother had a couple of quilts on our bed - they were heavy and unwieldy but not especially warm. Down is lightweight but warm - perfection! I have two comforters (one with less fill for summer, one with more for winter) and several covers that I swap as the outdoor temperature demands.

We use a Company Store lightweight down-alternative comforter year round.

I don’t like heavy. I have a lightweight down-alternative comforter (Macy’s) in a duvet cover year round. I also have an electric blanket, which is most important for its prewarming value.

I love piles of heavy covers. I have dust mite allergies so I usually limit it to just the comforter in a cover. But if it weren't for that I'd sleep with the comforter and a couple of quilts at least. When I was sick recently and just couldn't get warm, I did exactly that and the weight was very comforting to me.

I do not like the weight of down. I have a wool comforter. Much lighter, but still very warm.

I don't find down to be heavy at all. That's one of benefits of a down comforter - warmth without the suffocating weight of multiple blankets. I love how your body heat creates a cozy little nest. And the best part is if you have to get up in the middle of the night when you return the warmth is just waiting for you.

We do switch to a lighter weight matelasse coverlet for the warmer months.

I have a medium weight down alternative comforter I use year round as I sleep with the window open (gotta have fresh air!!). It is perfect, especially when warmed by a couple of small, cuddly, furry bodies that appreciate it just as much as I do.

I actually wouldn't mind more weight - I don't mind feeling piled with covers - but the warmth my comforter provides is just right and I don't need more.

I love the weight of a down comforter. There are times in the winter when I go upstairs and cocoon myself. It helps me to deal with life. Our heating is done in zones and we very rarely heat the master bedroom. One of these days I do need to purchase a summer weight comforter, as I miss having the feeling of security when it is hot.

I love how a down comforter envelopes you unlike other comforters that tent off you.

Yes - very happy with it in the winter as our heat goes down to 60 at night. I don't find it particularly weighty. What I really like is that we have just a flannel fitted sheet and a flannel duvet cover so no top sheet, blanket, etc. bunching up. Just that nice, warm, fluffy, flannel covered down comforter tucked in around you. During warmer months I have a lightweight down blanket at home and a regular quilt at our lake place.

We also have the heat set at 60 at night(eta: When it is not going into the low thirties at night, we keep it at 50 degrees). We use down comforters with duvet covers (no top sheet) and I use them year round (AC in summer makes me cold at night). First discovered these as a child visiting Switzerland and so happy to have them on all our beds in my own home now. I could never go back to the heaviness of sheets and quilts and blankets. I feel so comfy and cozy. It is hard to get out of bed in the morning-it just feels so luxurious to just lie there in my cocoon!

We use a medium down alternative comforter inside a duvet cover, with a top sheet and a blanket. It's a compromise because DH was too hot under our level 3 down comforter (Macy's) so that is out of circulation, leaving us both happy with our current bedding. He can flip the comforter off, while I hog it on my side! We turn our upstairs heat down to 64 and that is as low as I will go without freezing my nose off.

Yes, we have a lightweight down comforter we use on top of our sheets. In summer we switch back to a cotton blanket.

I prefer the heavy weight of blankets, but do love the cocooning sensation the down comforter gives. I found a micro fleece blanket at Costco that is soooo soft and it's the perfect weight to accompany the down blanket. It's like having the best of both worlds-light weight warmth with the hug of the soft fleece against my cheeks.

I have two down comforters: light weight for summer, and super heavy weight for winter. My winter bed is: cotton jersey sheets, microfiber blanket (so soft--love it!), heavy down comforter in a duvet, 12 lb cat on the very top.

Despite the label warnings, both the comforters wash up beautifully in a regular full size washer. Oh gosh--I bet I've had them both for 35 years now and they are still going strong! They are truly quality items.

I used to love my down comforter but after time had to move to down alternative. In recent years have developed medical leg issues and now also deal with restless legs at times. I'm probably the only one who does this, and it works for me because I live alone, but I've found my best solution has been to use blanket and or down alternative throws which are easily moved off my legs and back on as needed. Downside, not attractive on the bed, but a problem I can live with given the benefits.

ker-choo! That was a sneeze for a down allergy.

I have a duvet, which I fold over to the other side of my king bed so that the underside is on top. It's converted into my poodle's luxury, pouf bed! LOL

I sleep under a coverlet, lightweight blanket and a top sheet.

When in Paris, my rental apartment has only a comforter. No top sheet or blanket, so I sleep under it and I'm never there in winter. My landlord furnishes the rental this way, as do all other apartments I've been in over there. He uses a down alternative for people like me. It takes getting used to during the warm months. If I were there in cold weather, I'd be happy with it.
