Recommend your warm no-down comforter
Our old comforter was a basic comforter from Bed, Bath and Beyond and it doesn't cut it for me. I get soooo flipping cold in the winter, even with the comforter, a wool blanket, long sleeves, socks and fleece sweat pants.
How are down alternative options? Does the filling bunch up and move around so you have cold spots?

Re: Recommend your warm no-down comforter
That's crazy that SR Harris had them. I wouldn't expect that.
I was looking at down alternative ones and you're right - the covers are $$. Where did you find fabric large enough to make one or did you have to piece some together? I'm tempted to get some sleeping bag fill and make a comforter that way. I made my own sleeping bag and I was toasty warm in 40 degree weather last week.

I got this one from Overstock.com a few years ago, and it's super-warm. We use it in our guest room, so it hasn't had a super-lot of use, but I thought it was good for the price.
