I love it so much that I sleep with it every night. Its ultra soft and fluffy and exudes luxury and comfort, elevating the look of any bedroom. It has a eucalyptus fabric shell and an eco-friendly, certified-recycled fill, making it lightweight and airy. It's the type of comforter that just about anyone will like, and it's also one of the most affordable comforters on this list. Best comforters for 2025 Caroline Igo/CNET Our take: The Buffy Cloud comforter is a warmer, plusher pick. It's perfect for cooler weather or all seasons if you don't have any issues heating up at night. Even though I'm a hot sleeper, I've slept with this comforter for about a year now and dont have any complaints (although, I do like to keep my room at a cooler temperature). I also sleep only with this comforter -- no duvet cover, top sheet or other blankets.How it sleeps: The outside shell of the Buffy Cloud is made with eucalyptus fabric, which offers a softer and more breathable option than cotton. While I wouldnt say it's cool to the touch, it is more temperature-regulating than other down alternative comforters. Inside the Buffy Cloud is a soft, eco-friendly, certified-recycled fiber fill that gives the comforter a fluffy, lightweight and airy feel. It's an ultra-cozy addition to any bed. I would recommend a duvet cover since washing this huge, fluffy comforter can be a pain.Pros:Plush and warmSoft and breathable eucalyptus fabricEco-friendly bedding optionCons:Not for people who want a down or a lighter comforterFabric can snag if you machine-dryAdditional details:Fill: Recycled fiberShell material: Eucalyptus fabricSizes: Twin/Twin xl, Full/Queen, King/Cal KingCare: Machine-washableTrial period: 50-night trial or 7-day free trial $195 at Buffy Caroline Igo/CNET Our take: The Rest Evercool Cooling comforter earned the top spot on my Best Cooling Comforters list. It's one of the only comforters I've tested that's truly cool to the touch thanks to its naturally cooling Tencel and Sorona materials. This is the best comforter for those who heat up during the night.How it sleeps: This comforter is thin and looks more like a blanket than fluffy bedding. Due to its materials, such as Tencel lyocell, the Rest Evercool Cooling comforter is naturally moisture-wicking and will help to keep hot sleepers at a good temperature all night. My boyfriend and I practice the Scandinavian sleep method at night, so he sleeps with this comforter while I use the Buffy Cloud. Like me, hes a hot sleeper and hasnt had any problems with night sweats. It has also held up against our pets and many washes.Pros:Best for hot sleepers or anyone who heats up at nightSoft and very cool to the touchAvailable in six colors (three are reversible)Cons:Stitching tends to pull after many washesThin and wrinkles easilyNot for cool sleepers or those who want a thick comforterAdditional details:Fill: Tencel and Sorona materialShell material: Evercool Cooling fabricSizes: Twin/Twin xl, Full/Queen, King/Cal KingCare: Machine-washTrial period: 30-night trial $199 at Rest Caroline Igo/CNET Our take: Budget bedding is usually made of low-cost materials with a cheap polyester feel, but this is not the case when it comes to the Quince Premium Down Alternative comforter. It looks and feels similar to other more expensive comforters on the market. With a 100% cotton sateen shell, you cant beat the price and quality.How it sleeps: The Quince comforter resembles a full-priced down comforter rather than a down alternative like the Buffy Cloud. Its light, airy and on the thinner side, and the shell feels just like cotton covers found on down duvet inserts. The fill is microfiber but it doesnt feel cheap. I tested the all-seasons fill option and the thickness is a happy medium for hot and colder weather. It also has corner loops if you decide to put a cover on it (which I recommend because washing might cause the fill to clump together).Pros:You save about 50% compared to retail pricesThree fill options: lightweight, all-season and ultra-warmHypo-allergenic microfiber fill and soft 100% cotton sateen coverCons:Needs regular fluffing to keep fill evenStuffing may clump together after many washesAdditional details:Fill: MicrofibersShell material: 100% cotton sateenSizes: Twin, Full/Queen, King/Cal KingCare: Machine-washTrial period: 365-night trial $199 at Quince Editors' choice Taylor Leamey/CNET Our take: For anyone who sleeps with a partner who kicks the blanket off while you're freezing, consider the Create Your Perfect Comforter from Sleep Number. CNET sleep writer Taylor Leamey has been sleeping with this blanket for the last few months and is very impressed. Our sleep expert likes this customizable comforter so much that it received a 2024 CNET Editors' Choice Award.How it sleeps: The comforter is essentially two blankets joined by a zipper down the center. The zipper is under two fabric flaps, so you barely notice it's there. Each person gets to choose how warm they want their side of the blanket to be. Leamey said, "During my years of testing blankets and bedding products, I haven't encountered a comforter that is as customizable as the Create Your Perfect Comforter. Each person can choose between down and down alternative fills and three warmth options: light, medium and extra warmth." The extra warmth version provides plenty of warmth while still being breathable.Pros:Super comfortableThree warmth optionsTwo fill options: down or down alternativeCons:The zipper was stiff at firstMore expensive than other blanketsMust add two halves to your cart to make a full comforterAdditional details:Fill: 100% down or 100% polyesterShell material: 100% cottonSizes: Half-Queen or Half-KingCare: Machine-washableTrial period: 100-night trial; 1-year $280 at Sleep Number Caroline Igo/CNET Our take: While most down comforters are only available in white and require a duvet cover for some color, the Garnet Hill Essential Down comforter is durable, well-made and available in a dozen beautiful, bold colors. This bedding is ready to be used right out of the packaging; no duvet is needed.How it sleeps: There is only one weight available with this comforter: warm. While it isnt as fluffy as the Buffy Cloud comforter, the premium, 100% cotton shell and down fill trap in your body heat. If you're a hot sleeper, I would steer clear of this one, but it should work well for average sleepers and those looking for warmer winter bedding. The Garnet Hill Essential Down comforter isnt as soft as others on this list, but if you're a fan of down comforters, you'll likely be a fan of this one.Pros:Many colors to choose from100% Responsible Down Standard certified down and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certifiedAll-season fillCons:Not as soft and fluffy as other options on this listNo corner loops if you want to use as an insertAdditional details:Fill: 100% Responsible Down Standard downShell material: 100% cottonSizes: Twin, Double/Queen, King/Cal KingCare: Machine-washableTrial period: 90-day trial $299 at Garnet Hill Caroline Igo/CNET Our take: Down alternative material is more affordable, hypoallergenic and eco-conscious than down. I find down alternative generally more comfortable since its loftier, softer and durable -- also, these comforters tend to lose less filling over time. The Layla comforter is an ideal fluffy, down alternative bedding that you can throw right into the wash.How it sleeps: Laylas outside shell is 100% cotton, which gives it a soft feel right away. Unlike traditional down covers, this comforter feels like your favorite lightweight cotton sheets. The inside is filled with clusters of microfibers that are satiny and fluffy. It has a baffle box stitch construction in the shape of puffy octagons. I find that this keeps the filling from bunching in the corners. This comforter is a little heavier than the others I tested, so I wouldn't recommend it to hot sleepers or for hot summer nights. It's perfect for cozying up the rest of the year.I like to use this comforter to cover my white bedding so my dogs can snuggle up in bed with me. While it has upheld too many washes to count, the color has faded over time.Pros:Fluffy and comfortableDown alternative is more affordable and hypoallergenicBaffle box stitch keeps fill in placeCons:Only available in white and a light grayThreading pulls and color fades after many, many washesAdditional details:Fill: Down alternativeShell material: 100% cottonSizes: Twin/Twin xl, Full/Queen, King/Cal KingCare: Machine-washableTrial period: 120-night trial $229 at Layla Caroline Igo/CNET
