The Best Down Comforters of 2025

✔️ WHY WE LOVE IT: Checking off all the boxes for a high-quality down comforter, this 2025 Good Housekeeping Bedding Awards winner impressed us with its thoughtful design features. For starters, its fill is 100% down with a 600–650 fill power, meaning it provides excellent insulation to keep you warm while feeling lightweight. Its outer cover is cotton fiber, which is soft and tightly woven to prevent the fill from escaping. On top of that, its cover uses a baffle-box construction, which helps keep the fill evenly distributed to prevent lumpy spots.

The comforter comes in three warmth levels: light, medium and extra warm. Some online reviewers noted that even the light warmth level felt warmer than expected, so it may not be as suitable for hot sleepers.

✔️ HOW IT PERFORMED IN OUR TESTS: Both our Textiles Lab analysts and at-home testers consistently highlighted the warmth and quality construction of this comforter. One sleep tester summarized her experience by saying, "I loved how warm it was, and the fill didn't shift or come out of the comforter.”

Our analysts also appreciated the durable stitching that helps keep everything in place, the sturdy loops to attach a cover and the smooth cotton outer material. The fill is certified by the Responsible Down Standard (RDS), which says it ensures the ducks and geese receive humane treatment and are not subject to unnecessary harm.

✔️ WHY WE LOVE IT: Down comforters can get pricey, but this one is a total steal. Its fill is comprised of a blend of goose down fiber (50%), goose feather fiber (40%), goose down (5%) and goose feathers (5%) to help keep the cost low, but it's well constructed with a baffle-box design to evenly distribute the internal material. That way, the comforter will feel equally weighted across the bed as you toss and turn throughout the night.

Plus, there are corner loops to tie on a duvet cover and the RDS-certified fill ensures traceability in the supply chain.

✔️ HOW IT PERFORMED IN OUR TESTS: Testers agreed that this comforter was not too hot and not too cold to sleep under, providing high scores for comfort. "I liked that despite the thinness of the comforter on first glance, it kept me warm on some very cold nights," one tester shared.

Some testers thought the comforter was a bit noisy, but the feedback was overall positive regarding comfort and feel. "It's a good weight — not so light that I can easily kick off in my sleep or so heavy that it feels uncomfortable," says Grace Wu, a product analyst in our Textiles Lab.

✔️ WHY WE LOVE IT: This standout comforter is filled with both down and wool, which provides temperature-regulating benefits, great for couples in which one sleeps cold and the other hot. The comforter also has some sustainable components worth highlighting. Though it's not certified organic as a whole, its outer cover is made from organic cotton and its down has the RDS certification.

The brand also offers a 30-day trial period so there's little risk in trying it out.

✔️ HOW IT PERFORMED IN OUR TESTS: All of our testers said it kept them at a comfortable temperature despite having different preferences than their sleeping partners. One sleep tester told us, "I am a hot sleeper, but the comforter never felt too hot, and my husband is a cool sleeper and was comfortable all night." Another noted, "My husband runs hot, and I run cold. We were both comfortable under this duvet."

The comforter also earned perfect scores for overall satisfaction and many called it the perfect weight. And though it may seem like a down-wool blend would need special care, it held up surprisingly well in the washing machine. We noticed the cotton outer cover had a bit of a crinkly sound when it was new, but one tester said the noise from the outer fabric "decreased dramatically" after a wash cycle.

✔️ WHY WE LOVE IT: Though most brands don't usually indicate the source of their down, goose down is considered softer than duck down and is loftier to allow for better insulation. According to the brand, this comforter uses goose down that's both responsibly sourced to ensure humane treatment of the animals and repeatedly cleaned during the production process to eliminate odors and allergens.

Besides the 600-fill power down, this comforter stands out for its innovative construction: The unique gate system keeps the down separated and prevents the clusters from shifting inside the cover. L.L.Bean rates this comforter as "warmer," though it's also available in a "warm" version that costs less.

✔️ HOW IT PERFORMED IN OUR TESTS: The comforter scored well for its performance, and after we washed it, we saw minimal shrinkage or changes in appearance. Just take note: It's one of the most expensive comforters we've reviewed and some owners complained of a slight crinkly noise, but simply attaching a duvet cover to its built-in loops can help muffle it.

✔️ WHY WE LOVE IT: Not only is the down fill responsibly sourced from a duck farm in Indiana, but this American-made comforter also has features that are more sustainable for the environment like an organic cotton outer shell and plastic-free reusable packaging. Its 600-fill power is lightweight and ideal for year-long use. Plus, there are light- and winter-weight options available if you'd prefer a different warmth level.

✔️ HOW IT PERFORMED IN OUR TESTS: In the Textiles Lab, we were impressed by its quality construction. We especially love that this comforter's organic cotton shell is similar to the cotton used for the brand's sheets, which are among the best organic sheets we've tested. In our evaluations, the material barely shrank in the wash and felt "soft and luxurious" according to several testers.

Just note that some online reviewers found this comforter to sleep on the hotter side and there is low stock so some of the sizes may not be available.

✔️ WHY WE LOVE IT: Made with 100% Hungarian goose white down and constructed with a 100% cotton cover, this comforter's materials are the epitome of luxury (with a price tage to match). You can pick the between three weight options, which are labeled as winter, summer or all year. That way, the comforter will suit your preferences for maintaining a comfortable body temperature whether you're a hot or cold sleeper.

✔️ HOW IT PERFORMED IN OUR TESTS: All of our testers gave this comforter a perfect rating for comfort. Everyone agreed that the fill did not shift while sleeping and that they'd continue using this comforter. Testers said it was easy to put this comforter into a duvet cover, but the outside material was so soft that many preferred to sleep with the comforter by itself.

Many testers also loved how warm the comforter kept them, especially for those who run cold. "It instantly starts warming me as I lie underneath it, but it's still breathable, which means I don't overheat while I'm sleeping but feel so cozy," one tester shared.

One tester who called this comforter a "lifesaver as someone who sleeps very cold" advised hot sleepers to avoid this comforter. Hot sleepers or those with bedrooms that get warm in the summertime should opt for the summer-weight option.

✔️ WHY WE LOVE IT: Down comforters are known for their extra toasty feel during winter months, but we recommend the all-season version of this comforter from Brooklinen, which is designed for year-round use. It features a 700-fill power that strikes a balance between feeling warm and lightweight.

✔️ HOW IT PERFORMED IN OUR TESTS: Our Textiles Lab experts appreciated this comforter's baffle-box construction, but noticed a bit of clumping during the evaluations. Both testers and analysts liked the double stitching for a chic look on the soft cotton shell.

Testers gave high scores for comfort with one saying it feels "like being wrapped up in a cloud." Another tester added, "The weight of this comforter is perfect; it feels lightweight, but keeps me very warm and comfy." Multiple testers commented that this pick comes with a dustbag for convenient storage when not in use.

✔️ WHY WE LOVE IT: The fill is a blend of 80% down and 20% feathers, which we like because a higher ratio of down means it'll feel loftier than other comforters that use more feathers to lower costs. You can choose from seven sizes and eight different styles.

✔️ HOW IT PERFORMED IN OUR TESTS: This comforter is one of the most popular styles on Amazon with a low price and thousands of five-star ratings. Many reviewers shared that they were pleasantly surprised by how cool and lightweight the comforter is. They expected it to be hot because of its fluffy appearance, but it helped them maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the night. Several also mentioned how soft and smooth the outer material feels.

Just be cautious with buying this one based on some of its claims. The brand says it's made with Egyptian cotton and goose down, but both would typically make the cost much higher and these claims are difficult to prove. Online reviewers called out this concern as well. Still, if you're looking for an affordable and highly-rated down comforter from Amazon, this one may be your best bet.
