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

Does it exist: down alternative comforter/duvet insert with filling that won't clump, lump, bunch up, and migrate into patches within two years?
Haven't had it more than a few months, but we bought a lightweight one from https://www.thewoolroom.com/ and it's been really good so far. It doesn't "drape" over you quite like a good down duvet, but it does seem to be more breathable and better for temperature regulation. More on reddit.com
Best BIFL Down alternative comforter?
If recommend looking at wool blankets. Many are BIFL.They’re both hypo allergenic and anti fungal if you have mold issues.
It’s not a comforter though. I’m interested on other responses as a guy who lives in Renton. From my experience washing comforters destroys them over time. Good luck.

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

Microfiber Down Alternative Duvet
Microfiber Down Alternative Duvet
About This Product:
This comforter (aka duvet) is made with microfiber fill. Microfiber is soft and plush. It's a high quality polyester that's meant to mimic the softness of down. The shell is 260 thread count cotton, which is crisp and durable.
This comforter is generously filled. Microfiber doesn't have the same insulating properties as down, so microfiber comforters are heavier weight. We need a fair bit of fill to achieve the desired warmth. One benefit of a synthetic comforter is that it can be machine washed at home, given your machine is quite large and you wash/dry on a low heat setti

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 😑
