Warmer than expected -- and not at all soft
I have been searching for ages to find an ideal comforter for summer. I picked up a cheap one off of Amazon that has honestly served me pretty well, but I'd like something more luxurious. I have another silk comforter that is amazing, and saw this and thought it might be the perfect mix of comfort and breathability for summer. Unfortunately, I'm finding that is not the case.While there is some variability in how warm silk feels to me (in terms of temperature), I generally find this to be warm, despite being as thin as my blanket. (To be fair, I'm a hot sleeper.) Even in the colder days we just had, my bedroom is about 70 degrees, and I did overheat and need to remove the comforter. Far more important, however, is feel. Unlike most other reviewers, this did not feel soft to me at all -- and since it cannot be washed, I couldn't just toss it through the washer/dryer once to soften the fabric. In addition to the raw feel, after using it for a little while, it made my skin feel itchy. On the plus side, I didn't personally notice any sort of odor associated with the comforter, as other reviewers have mentioned.Overall, if you are looking for fluff or weight, this isn't it (though it is delightfully squishy). If you are looking for softness, I don't recommend it, although numerous other reviewers seem to, so it's possible I just got a bad one. If you are looking for a little bit of extra warmth, this absolutely WILL provide it! If you are not an especially hot sleeper and need something a little extra for summer, and you don't care about loft, this is a nice luxury item that isn't as expensive as the competition and might actually fit the bill!As a side note, the bag it comes in is GORGEOUS and I seriously considered keeping the item just to keep the bag!Lastly, I got the king size for a queen-sized bed (I favor oversized bedclothes), and finding a duvet cover of the right proportions is tough. In addition to the duvet cover made by Silk Camel, I found two more on Amazon. One is from Olive & Crate, the other is from TAFTS. If this turns out to be the right comforter for you, I hope that helps. because you will need a duvet cover. :)

Most comfortable comforter I’ve ever owned!
We loved the first one so much we bought another for our guest bedroom. It’s the softest and most lightweight piece of heaven. Love it and highly recommend.

Very lightweight, but still a little warm for me.
In the process of redoing my bedroom, I went on a little odyssey of sorts trying to find the right blanket for me. I have a very hard time regulating my body temperature. I start out freezing and then wake up very hot, even sweating, despite having an open window and fan (in Oregon!). I tried 3 different options: 1) this product 2) Linenspa down alternative duvet insert 3) a cotton quilt (no stuffing, just cotton) from Bed Bath and Beyond that I clipped into my duvet cover.Here are my findings:1) This product: Very lightweight in terms of the actual weight on your body. This may be good for some, but I like my blankets to feel a little heavier. I was too warm under this blanket when I tried it in March in my climate. The duvet insert itself looks very nicely made and comes in beautiful packaging. Downside of course is that the duvet insert itself is not washable. Overall, this duvet insert was my 2nd choice among the three options I tried.2) Linenspa down alternative duvet insert: Way too hot!! I don't understand where all the reviewers are coming from when they say that it's "temperature regulating." Upsides were that it was nice and fluffy and looked goon in my linen duvet cover.3) Cotton blanket clipped inside of my linen duvet cover: this was what I ultimately went with. The blanket is heavy enough to calm my nervous system, but I seriously never overheat with this combo. It will be perfect for summer and spring. In the winter/fall, I will likely have to put another blanket folded at the foot of my bed to pull up when it's extra chilly, but I would have that anyway for looks, so no biggie :-) I would highly recommend trying the cotton blanket option for warm sleepers. The best part is that I only had to spend about $40-50 rather than $200.

Love this!! Luxurious and soft
Quality is fabulous - good strong stitching, beautiful colored piping edge, insanely soft fabric and smooth silky feel of what’s inside when rubbed between the fingers. Only complaint is that the silk strands gradually start making their way out of the fabric and then it’s annoying because the strands feel like hairs that get on clothes and so forth. I was hoping to avoid putting a duvet cover on this because it feels so wonderful, but I’m going to have to, to keep the silk strands from making their way out as fast…I will definitely be getting the other season ones when they’re in stock!

Would be perfect if not for (hopefully initial) unpleasant odor
For the price, you get a lot! Well made. Light. Clearly has silk inside it. Well packaged. Even a little carrying case with a zippered pouch inside that - in which you can carry it somewhere. Or use the pouch and/or carry case for other things too.It’s pretty much what I was looking for. Except for the odor, which I believe comes from it’s cotton cover - since two duvet covers I got at the same time also had that same odor. (The duvet covers I could wash, so that took care of the odor there.) I’m hoping that airing this near open windows (but not in direct sunlight) will gradually take away the odor.I also have a comforter with over twice as much silk in it that is 100% silk both inside and out. (And no unpleasant smell whatsoever in that one.) But the all silk one is a tad too warm for some nights. Which is why I ordered this one.For the money and the light weight, I’m crossing my fingers that this will give us satisfactory use on days when it’s too warm for the experience of all silk. (But if you can ever afford it, wow what light weight and gorgeous silk sheen you get from all silk - inside, outside and the duvet covers too!)
