Something like this: https://featheredfriends.com/products/feathered-friends-bavarian-700-down-comforter?variant=20693967634486&avad=184698_d2d06ec35 But not everyone can afford a $600-$800 comforter. These items also aren't "for life". They do need to be replaced after 15-20 years. Or restuffed. Our family brought one over from Europe which was passed down to their kids. It's SO flat now and the feathers don't distribute evenly. More on reddit.com

Macy's Charter Club down comforters should be comparable to the ones at Ikea (if not a step above). They don't make any noise. You'd probably want the light or medium one. More on reddit.com

I have a down alternative comforter. It's OK. Nothing I'd recommend. I know it's not the question. Have you considered a heated mattress pad? I was hesitant, thought I'd roast, maybe feel wires. I think it's great. It has left and right sides... and foot, torso, and head zones, so very customizable. 1-10 heat. I keep feet at 2 or 3, torso at 1, head at 0. It's the nicest, most gentle heat . Yet my head remains cool. Sorry for veering away from the ask... but it might be worth consideration. More on reddit.com

I'm not sure how you've been searching for options, but there may be a few tidbits on down that might help you shop more effectively. Down gets its warmth from a combo of its fill power and its fill weight. Fill power is how lofted the down is, or how much space it takes up for its weight. High fill power down is really puffy and very insulating. A little goes a long way. But it won't give you that weighted blanket feel. If you've specifically been looking for goose down, you're probably getting a high fill power comforter. Lower fill power options tend to go with duck down since it's a lot cheaper and a 550 fill power down will perform the same whether it comes from a goose or a duck. And then feather is a third material option, where some budget brands will use a 90% down / 10% feather mix to further reduce costs. For washing, are you adding sock balls / tennis balls / dryer balls to the dryer? Down clumps up when it's wet, and sometimes it gets stuck clumped in a corner of the baffle while machine drying. Adding balls can help break up the clumps and re-loft the down like new. Down & feathers do break down over time, but it's a slow process. If you're using a duvet cover to minimize the number of washes for the insert, a down comforter should last at least 10 years, if not multiple decades. And lastly, as someone who's ex-amazon & works in apparel, I'd shop other places than amazon unless it's a private label brand. It's really easy to lie about fill power. The FTC doesn't have intense rules about it like clothing fibers or sustainability claims. It doesn't have to be listed on the product care label. It won't ever get audited at customs during import. The only protections consumers have is the Truth in Advertising laws, and in order for a seller to get caught, someone would have to cut open their new comforter and pay to have it tested at an apparel/textile lab. And even if they do get caught, "brands" like APSMILE or HEYCUZI don't have a reputation they need to protect. I see questionable listings from sellers all the time (like marketing blankets as " recycled acrylic " - recycled acrylic is still in early R&D phases, isn't available for large scale manufacturing, and would cost SO much more than $31 for a blanket). If you're looking for budget-friendly, Target's in-house brands (like Casaluna), Costco, Quince & Ikea are a lot more ethical & compliant with consumer protection laws. And if you're looking for a high fill power goose down, I'd look at Feathered Friends or The Company Store. More on reddit.com
