I have an alpaca wool insert. I also love big fluffy blankets, but was struggling with temperature regulation and couldn't get down because of allergies. I spent a LOT of time searching on here. I was originally resistant to the alternatives to down/down alternative (silk, wool), but i freaking LOVE the alpaca wool insert. It is SO breathable. I didn't realize what I was missing. I couldn't go back to synthetic fibers because they just trap heat like crazy. It is definitely not as fluffy as down, but it is much fluffier than silk, it has nice weight, and i have layered it with nice cotton blankets. Someone else mentioned linen covers - I also have this on the insert, and think it helps quite a bit with breathability also. Answer from LittleEarthVisitor on reddit.com

We use a thinn-ish cotton quilt over ours - gives the exact right amount of weight and warmth. Check TJ MAXX for something similar. More on reddit.com

July 20, 2021Best down alternative comforter for a warm climate
Down alternative is polyfill - fibers made of plastic - which is not breathable and will sleep hot. You can get a lightweight duvet/comforter with down alternative fill, and hope for the best. If you want to sleep cooler, you can get lightweight duvets filled with cotton, silk, or wool. Yes, wool will sleep cooler than polyfill, because as a natural fiber, it breathes well. Cover any of these with a cotton percale or linen duvet cover and you should feel pretty good. I personally went for a lightweight washable wool duvet insert from Woolroom, which I've had for just over a week now. I sleep extremely hot, but with my room temp set appropriately (and/or my BedJet running), I'm not sweating to death under the covers. I kind of feel like I've got a light cloud on top of me. I love it. Good luck finding what makes your bed dreamy! :) More on reddit.com

The 6 Best Down Alternative Comforters (2025) | Mattress Clarity
The combination of cotton and down alternative makes this a great choice for those who need hypoallergenic bedding. Neither material should trap or attract allergens. Care instructions are simple: You just throw it in the washing machine and it’s as good as new. The down alternative gives this comforter a soft, fluffy feel and shouldn’t fall flat with use.

r/Bedding on Reddit: Anyone have a truly plush down alternative comforter that sleeps cool?
September 19, 2024 -
My title probably covered it all. No matter how low I turn my AC, I wake up sweating. My current comforter and duvet aren't great and I think both have polyester.
I'm an animal lover and can't support down or feather but I really miss the super plush company store down comforters my best friend had when we were kids. Basically I'd like it as plush as possible but not hot.
Does anyone have something like this that they can recommend?

I have one called downcool off of Amazon it's really lightweight. If I put a duvet cover on it, it's too warm and have to sleep with a/c at 68. I gave up and just use it without a duvet cover and can sleep comfortably at 70-71. Edit: Soo why are people downvoting for me for sharing what bedding I use 😑
