Hi. I'd appreciate it if someone here wouldn't mind taking a look at these two comforters to make sure I'm not overlooking something that explains the $100 difference. Or even recommend something else entirely. I'm just looking for the nicest comforter (edited) I understand I'll be getting less value vs. online discounters, but I've also been disappointed buying sheets just based on thread count without opening them first, & this is a bigger investment. Also preferably the nicest machine washable I can find, which both these are. Because I.D.K. what a dry cleaner would even charge for a comforter, & I do have access to oversized machines myself.

Anyway, I can't figure out these two comforters. They're by the same make, with identical T.C.'s, same white goose down (?), both have true baffle box construction, "X-treme clean" washed & hypoallergenic, lifetime warranties etc.- the only difference I can see is 650 vs. 700 fill power- does it make sense for that alone to account for a $100 difference? In trying to educate myself on all the terminology, I understood F.P. was not necessarily the higher number the better quality, like thread count, but something that will vary by preference & climate since it determines how well it insulates. I crank my A.C. anyway when I sleep, so if it's only a matter of warmth, I'm going to take the cheaper one.

You guys don't think it's a down of higher quality, or better feeling, longer lasting, or anything else I haven't considered, do you? Anything else you've seen in mall stores or the like with true baffles that you just LOVED, I'd like to hear about it too.



I couldn't find dedicated home/bedding forums, & saw such topics posted here. I'm not a girl.
