Down Alternative Comforter Press

"The Riley Down Alternative Comforter ranks as our top choice thanks to its double-stitched durable outer edges, even fill distribution, and cooling cotton cover, which helped us stay comfortable while testing this product. Available in two warmth levels of all season or extra warm, our team found this down alternative comforter to be smooth, pleasantly fluffy, and noise-free when moving around in bed (a bonus if you bed-share with a partner). There was also no odor upon opening it, and sleeping with it"

The Best Down Alternative Comforter

"For those looking for a comforter to use year-round, we loved the Riley Down Alternative Comforter. After testing, we found it was lightweight and had a medium fill that still kept us feeling warm while a cotton outer shell helped keep us cool.

We liked that this comforter—which is made of 100% hypoallergenic microfiber—gave the feel of a down comforter. It has a medium loft of 1.5 inches thick, and the fill was evenly distributed throughout the comforter. We found that the fill remained intact while we tossed and turned in the bed, as well as when we shook the comforter.

The shell of this comforter is made of 100% cotton percale, which we noted was cool to the touch, soft, and smooth. We compared this comforter to a down comforter and found that, where down is very heavy and would leave us feeling too warm, this down alternative comforter felt perfect for hot sleepers.

We also liked that, after we machine washed this comforter, it still felt smooth, crisp, and cool to the touch, and that it did not lose any of its loft. The fill also remained uniform throughout and did not seem to be disturbed by the wash process."

"We recommend the Riley Down Alternative Comforter as a great year-round option. Unlike other options we tested, this pick gives you the right amount of weight and warmth for winter and hotter months. After testing for six months, we still believe this microfiber and percale down alternative is the best comforter for every season”.

Along with its temperature regulation, we love the Riley comforter’s quality construction. The fill is spread evenly with no empty spaces. Unlike the Brooklinen Down Alternative (our best overall, runner-up), the quality of this Riley comforter has remained in tip-top shape, with no lumpiness, loose threads, or dead space.
