A bit off the subject- Down Comforters
| I am a warm sleeper and my wife is always cold. I want us both to be happy, I am considering a down comforter, but know little about them. I have looked at several sites and the prices and advise is all over the place- I don't trust them. I thought about an electric blanket, but actually know of 2 different families that have had fires strarted with them-one fatal. I would appreciate any advise that is forthcoming-thank you. |

The Ralph Lauren Avenue comforter is definitely not a year-round comforter, especially with a duvet cover over it, unless you keep your house on the cold side when the AC is on. I ordered the step-down version of the Ralph Lauren comforter, the Classic. It's a lighter weight comforter that I think will be more appropriate for those months where the thermostat is set on Cool. It uses lower fill power down and is about 2/3 the volume of the Avenue Comforter, and uses a 350 thread count fabric vs. the 600 TC fabric on the Avenue comforter, but it's still a nice fabric and the construction is the same box construction with gusseted sides. I give it a thumbs up for the price, especially the sale price, which was ~$160 for an oversize king. This message was modified Oct 19, 2007 by haysdb
