Winter is here, and between the snow, wind, and frigid temperatures, we pretty much want to do nothing else but lounge in our cozy beds. And if you don’t already have an ultra-warm comforter to add to your bed, now’s the time to do so. Think of a comforter as the home design-equivalent to your favorite sweater: this stylish layer will make you feel nice and toasty without the skin-drying, budget-breaking effects of cranking your heater all the way up to full blast.

But, while an insulating comforter is a winter essential, finding the right one for your needs isn’t as cut-and-dry as you might think. Not only do you have to find a layer that matches your home decor and shopping allowance, but you’ll also have to think about what’s on the inside. Case in point: fill. Feathers might’ve reigned supreme for decades, but a new assortment of down alternatives offer hypoallergenic and eco-friendly options. It’s also worth checking on the fill power, which quantifies a comforter’s fluff factor. (Read: the higher the fill power number, the cozier and warmer it typically is.)
So, where to start? To help streamline your search, we’ve scoured the market for the very best comforter that will keep you warm as the winter winds howl outside. Sweet dreams!

Sijo CLIMA All Season Comforter
This all-season comforter features moisture-wicking and phase-changing technology for a sweat-free, cozy slumber. Thermoregulating CLIMA technology promotes healthier sleep by helping maintain your optimal body temperature, while moisture-wicking, antimicrobial lyocell fibers are embedded with refined plant-derived paraffin, an additive that acts as a heat accumulator, to absorb and store heat in the yarn when you or the air around you becomes too hit. Then, it is dispersed later upon cooling down. Do we really understand exactly how this works? Not really. But we believe the happy reviews on Nordstrom: “I’m a hot sleeper but really wanted bedding that felt cozy like a hotel,” says one. “This comforter checks all the boxes!” Another notes it feels “like I’m sleeping under a cloud.” That we understand!

Casper Down Alternative Duvet
Though down has been long regarded as the ultimate fill for comforters, it’s made with animal products, which may not be ideal for anyone with allergies or personal objections. That’s where Casper comes in. The brand might be touted as the “it” mattress brand; however, its expansion into bedding was designed with only the sweetest of dreams in mind. Casper’s down alternative duvet is filled with recyclable polyester, this layer offers a hypoallergenic way to keep you warm. The comforter also has a TENCEL Lyocell fiber shell, so you’ll stay warm without overheating. And, thanks to its two weight options—lightweight and mid-weight—you can find the best one for your snoozing needs.
