Although there are available commercially sometimes very cheap blankets, which cost only a tenth of this ceiling, but you get here a real down blanket of great quality that you can even wash at 60 ° C. When opening the storage bag, a slight odor was noticeable, who has disappeared but aired after one day. I was only very surprised that the ceiling is quite thin: she still keeps you warm and has the advantage that it is also relatively easy. The duvet cover is breathable, so you do not sweat uncomfortable under the duvet. A very big plus there is of me, because of the down and feathers plucked was dead and so the animals were not tormented for. I am very happy with the product and have my other blanket now stored in a closet.
