Indigo Blue Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Doesn’t pick when pets jump up onto bed Still looks nice after many washes (must be machine wash and dry) ….durable Looks nice, clean, and neat on the bed has just a bit of weight and thickness soft sheet-like feel This describes a down comforter, but they are so expensive. Is there anything out there like this under $100.00? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Sounds like you might look at something like a thick mink/microplush blanket. I have no idea where we got ours, but it's so lovely and soft, washes well, and keeps the bed looking neat. It has just enough weight to be calming. You can also look at lines like Ikea's faux-down comforters, which are considerably cheaper, usually the same weight, and you just pair with a duvet cover. We have one of those on ds13's bed and it has held up considerably well. He's on his second cover because well, he's a kid, but he's had the same duvet for 7-8 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I saw some seasonal ones at Target yesterday with faux sheerling backing for about $40. Idk about durability but they’re cute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have used these for bedspreads because they are nice and heavy and soft. I look at the weight of the blanket when purchasing. Lots on Amazon--just search for "Korean mink blanket." The downside is that when you buy one big enough for a queen or king bed, they are very heavy to wash. My machine can do it, but just barely. ETA: I am tempted by Vellux blankets--similar feel but lighter. Edited November 30, 2023 by MercyA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarynB Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 With pets, I have switched to using a duvet cover plus a comforter, BUT I don't put my comforter inside the duvet cover. I just use the duvet cover on top with a comforter separate underneath it. Then when it needs washed due to pets, it is all much easier to manage and lasts much longer. And it all still looks the same as it would with the comforter inside the duvet cover when the bed is made. 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I think your best bet might be a fiberfill white comforter from Ikea (very inexpensive) in a thin duvet cover. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingersmom Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I pay about $300 for queen size comforters from the company store 2 kids, multiple cats, 1 dog and 10 years later they are still going strong 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) I got this one recently - depending on size it is under $100. I got the queen, it's 79 but there is also a 55 off coupon. It is warmer than I originally anticipated, so keep that in mind. But, I'm in florida, and hormones are making me hot at night. https://amzn.to/47zm4YN Edited November 30, 2023 by ktgrok 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmasc Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I bought 2 of The Big One Reversible Down Alternative comforters from Kohls about 8-10 years ago for my kids’ beds. I don’t know if the quality is the same now, but they have held up remarkably well. From small kids to rowdy teens, 2 dogs, and a bajillion washes—still being used and look just fine. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
