When it comes to fluffy comforters, it's all about the filling. The best fluffy comforters will be filled with real goose-down, down alternative, microfiber, or other similar cozy materials. But there are a few things to keep in mind while shopping around.

What To Look For In An Extra Fluffy Comforter

First, you'll want to consider how warm you want your comforter to be. If you're a cold sleeper or live in a cooler climate, a real goose-down comforter may be your best bet, as it's incredibly insulating. Meanwhile, if you tend to get hot when you sleep or live in a warmer climate, you'll want something lighter, like a microfiber or polyester comforter. On my list below, I've included comforters with a variety of fillings to suit a wide range of climates.

Next, think about the exterior (aka the "shell") of the comforter. Since cotton is a natural fabric, it's super breathable. However some cotton comforters are prone to wrinkling, and organic comforters are sometimes dry-cleaned only. In contrast, a polyester shell is durable and meant to last, but it doesn't prevent moisture buildup the same as cotton does. Another great option is a comforter with a eucalyptus cover, which I've included as my most eco-friendly pick. It's moisture-wicking, soft, and durable, however, it does need to be dry-cleaned.

Finally, think about construction — specifically, the comforter's stitching. If you choose a real goose-down comforter, you'll want to look for baffle-box stitching, which provides the ultimate loft. If you decide to go with down-alternative, look for box-stitching, which will keep the fill in place.

To help you out, I’ve done the research and scoured through tons of Amazon reviews to help you find the most comfortable option for your bed. My picks vary in style, from recycled PET fill to cozy sherpa fabric, but all are reliable and designed to keep their fluff. Read on to find the best comforter for you.

It’s perfectly breathable for those who sleep hot, and is bound to enhance your sleeping experience. They’re also lightweight, making them especially cozy in warmer weather.

Why fans love it: "I love this comforter! My husband is basically a walking heater, and I am always cold, so we normally sleep with a very thin blanket and I have another blanket on top on my side which is very annoying. When I got the Code comforter, I was surprised by the big box, and when I opened up the comforter it poofed up a LOT. And although it is perfectly poofy, oh so soft, I thought this is a comforter if you live in Iceland and my husband will be way too hot in this. I was totally surprised that neither my husband was too hot, nor was I too cold.”

Why fans love it: "I bought three of these comforters for Christmas when we were going to have a bunch of people at our place. They are pretty warm, they can be used all year long as they aren't too hot. The reversible aspect is really nice as you can change the side to change the look of your room. They are also nice to use on the couch when watching TV. We will also be using these while camping this summer they are a great blanket for outdoor/indoor.

Editor’s Pick: This Weighted Blanket For *Extra* Coziness

What’s great about it: Though it’s not technically a fluffy comforter, a weighted blanket offers tons of coziness — even more so than your typical comforter, according to Associate Commerce Editor Carina Finn, who swears by this comforter-sized weighted blanket. She says: "I was a weighted blanket skeptic — until I tried this one. After the first night I slept with it, I woke up feeling like a whole new person. It's super cozy, and made me feel almost immediately calmer once I got into bed. I fall asleep faster, stay asleep all night, and wake up more refreshed after using this comforter. It's worth it!" The 100% cotton construction is breathable and lightweight, so unlike other weighted blankets, this won't overheat hot, sweaty sleepers. Even more to love: It’s machine-washable and dryer-safe; and according to happy (and well-rested) customers, a great sleep aid for those who suffer from insomnia.

Why fans love it: “I just received my Baloo blanket and I'm IN LOVE. As soon as I put in on my lap, I *immediately* felt more calm & grounded. I ordered my blanket after learning about the amazing effects of weighted blankets & I wanted to see if it could help with my anxiety. It has helped tremendously - I feel much more relaxed with it on.”
