Best places to buy comforters − 6 stylish stores, selected by our Sleep Editor
From Brooklinen to Woolroom, I've ranked and reviewed the best places to buy comforters to suit any sleep style and every budget


The best places to buy comforters aren't necessarily specialist sleep stores. If you know where to look, you can find down and down alternative options in a range of warmths and weights to suit every season and sleeper.
As the resident Sleep Editor at Homes & Gardens, I know all the best places to buy bedding. I've scoured the sites of major home retailers and combed through our back catalog of reviews to bring you my edit of the best places to buy comforters.
Below, you'll find some of the best duvet inserts on the market, tried and tested by a member of my expert team. Where we haven't been able to get our hands on a comforter, we've scoured the specifications and read countless customer reviews to make sure we're recommending quality.
Best places to buy comforters – at a glance
- Woolroom: for natural thermoregulation
- Brooklinen: for breadth of choice and depth of discount
- Buffy: for hot sleepers and vegan shoppers
- Boll & Branch: for ethically sourced down
- The Company Store: for cute, colorful options
- Amazon: for budget-friendly bedding
1. Woolroom
I first sampled wool bedding on the Woolroom Sleep Retreat. As a hot sleeper, I need the best cooling comforter to regulate my temperature. I wondered whether Woolroom would be up to the challenge, but I needn't have worried.
Wool is one of nature's great thermoregulators, and it's especially well suited for anyone who suffers from night sweats. According to the Woolroom Clean Sleep Report 2024, wool can hold up to one third of its weight in water (or sweat), keeping your bed and your body cool and dry. If you suffer from hot flashes, or you live in a particularly warm climate, I suggest you take a chance on wool.
Woolroom comforters come in three weights to suit a range of sleep styles. I recommend Light for hot sleepers; Warm for cold sleepers; and Medium for everybody in between.
2. Brooklinen
Brooklinen products populate our bedding buying guides. From light and fluffy down duvet inserts to thermoregulating down alternatives, you'll find something to suit every sort of sleeper at Brooklinen.
Much like Woolroom, Brooklinen offers multiple weights and warmth levels for their comforters. You can choose between Lightweight, All-Season, and Ultra-Warm as suits you.
Fitted with corner loops for easy attachment to duvet covers, these comforters double as duvet inserts, so you get more for your money. Brooklinen always seems to be running bedding sales, so it's worth shopping around the site to find the best price.
'I'll be honest, it took two to three weeks to adjust to the weight of this blanket,' reads one recent review. 'Now, I don't ever want to be without it. My anxiety has leveled out, and I fully believe it's the 3 weeks of using the blanket. I'm buying another to take on trips.'
3. Buffy
Wool and down comforters are classics for a reason, but they aren't for everyone. If you prefer to purchase vegan products, you'll need to explore down alternative options.
I suggest you start your search at Buffy. Out of all the down alternative comforters I've tried, the Buffy Cloud Comforter comes closest to the look and feel of real down, with enviable loft to form a beautiful bedspread.
Where most of the comforters you'll find online are only available in white and cream, Buffy comforters come in a wide range of bright shades to complement any color palette: think Cherry Petal, Almond Milk, and Porcelain Blue.
4. Boll & Branch
Compared to some of the other sleep stores on this list, Boll & Branch is more expensive. Primarily, that's because Boll & Branch works with real down, ethically sourced, and forgoes synthetic fabrics in favor of cotton blends.
Some down alternative blends come close, but nothing can quite replicate the look and feel of authentic down, and Boll & Branch uses the best in the business to produce their comforters and duvet inserts.
Boll & Branch down is certified by the International Down Standard, which aims to uphold ethical production practices from farm to factory. Specific requirements include no live-plucking, no force-feeding, and traceability, so you can trace your down back to the farm and flock of origin.
This is our long-reigning champion for the title of 'best duvet insert'. Available in Lightweight, Midweight, and Ultra-Warm, this piece tends to run a little warm, so I'd only go for Ultra-Warm if you live in a cold climate year-round.
5. The Company Store
The Company Store is the place to shop for comforters in colors, prints, and patterns. Where Buffy offers a limited range of bold hues, The Company Store keeps it classy with muted shades, such as Thyme Green and Feather Tan. You'll also see floral prints and retro ginghams to make a statement against the best white bed sheets.
In terms of price, The Company Store is comfortably middle-of-the-pack: a cut above Buffy and Amazon, but less expensive than Boll & Branch, Brooklinen, and the like.
'I live in North Texas, so I'm no stranger to hot nights,' says expert tester Alex Temblador. 'And because my house is 104 years old, it's not the best in terms of insulation. You can see why a lightweight comforter is a necessary part of my sleep routine. The LaCrosse Premium Down Comforter is my ideal fit.'
'Great size and great quality,' reads one recent review. It is a little warmer than I was anticipating, but still manageable. If you have a small washer, you will struggle to get it through a cycle. For the dryer – just hang dry. Since it is so fluffy, the inside will never dry unless you keep rotating it for hours.'
6. Amazon
Amazon is one of the best places to buy affordable bedding, but you'll find a lot of second-rate, synthetic sets, too. If you want to find a quality comforter at Amazon, you'll need to make the most of their search filters: screen for fill material, including 'cotton', 'down', and 'polyester', and cover material, including 'cotton' and 'acrylic'.
One of the best things about shopping for bedding at Amazon is the wealth of customer reviews. My advice: try not to be taken in by the first few five-star reviews, but equally, don't be put off by the odd mixed rating. You want to read a wide range of reviews to get the fullest possible picture of what it might be like to sleep with this comforter.
This is the number-one best-rated comforter on Amazon, with a 4.7 average star rating from more than 27,000 verified reviews. Most shoppers agree it's the best warm comforter for buyers on a budget.
FAQs
What kind of comforter do hotels use?
Most high-end hotels use down comforters, filled with fluffy clusters taken from ducks and geese. Down is naturally thermoregulating, so it's suitable for all seasons and climates, and it's designed to hold air, which creates that attractive, lofty look.
Your hotel comforter will likely feature baffle box stitching: small boxes between the top and bottom layer of the insert, which keeps the down evenly distributed throughout the comforter. That's how housekeepers avoid lumps, bumps, and cold patches in your hotel bedspread.

Is a comforter the same as a duvet?
No. The difference between a comforter and a duvet is that a duvet comprises two separable pieces, an insert and a cover, where a comforter is one integrated piece, with the insert sewn inside a fabric shell.
If you're struggling to choose between the two, you're in luck: I've weighed up the pros and cons of duvet vs comforter for different styles of sleepers.
Once you've bought one of the best comforters, it's important to take good care of it. It's worth learning how to wash a comforter at home for hygienic sleep.
