Stuffed with hypoallergenic down-like microfill and encased in a smooth cotton shell, this quilted beauty is here to keep you snuggly-warm until the groundhog says it’s safe to leave your bed. The winter-weight version has a GSM of 500 for maximum heft and insulation—plus, the fact that it’s machine-washable and a mere $130 doesn’t hurt, either.

THE REVIEW: “Holy heck is the winter duvet ever warm!” reads one review. “I am naturally made of ice, but this duvet actually keeps me warm at night! If you naturally run hot, I’d suggest getting the all-season one, as this will boil you—but if you are like me and freeze at the thought of cold, it’s a blessing. It feels like sleeping in a luxury hotel bed.”

Yes, down comforters can be a liiiiittle pricey, but this one is def worth the splurge (especially if you’re already obsessed with Brooklinen’s dreamy sheet sets). Made with a silky 100 percent cotton sateen shell, this down cluster-filled duvet features a fluffy baffle-box construction and comes in three different warmth levels—though ultra-warm (made with 750-fill-power Canadian goose down) is best for those chillier months.

• Care instructions: Spot clean recommended; dry clean if needed

THE REVIEW: “I bought the warmest fill power, and it did not disappoint,” writes one tester. “I’m perpetually cold, and finally I’m warm! My previous down comforter was pretty thick, but this one is somehow warmer despite feeling lighter.”

Looking to save a buck and keep warm this fall and winter? This sherpa bb from Kasentex is a great option—especially if you only wanna stick this comforter on your bed for a couple months. It features a box-stitched design, brushed microfiber shell, and insulating down-alternative fill, and since it’s just $80, you can sleep peacefully knowing you haven’t overdrafted your bank account.

THE REVIEW: “I’ve had this comforter since September, and every night when I go to bed, I am so grateful I own it!” reads one review. “The fleece is so toasty and I feel like I’m in a cloud. It’s kept me warm all winter long and I just don’t know what I would do without it. It’s the best purchase I’ve probably ever made.”

Anyone who’s willing to shell out big bucks for a new duvet should feast their eyes on this suuuuper-luxe option from Boll & Branch, which boasts an organic cotton shell and bafflebox construction to puff it up. Thanks to its PrimaLoft fill, this duvet is wildly full and fluffy, and while the ultraweight option is best for cold sleepers, reviewers say that even the lightweight version of this one is toasty-warm.

THE REVIEW: “I love everything about this duvet! It is theeeeeee best alternative comforter I have found,” one review reads. “I love that it’s fluffy like I wanted, and it’s warm with out being too warm. Stoked about this purchase and definitely worth the money!!”

Admittedly, a 750-fill-power goose-down comforter for less than $180 seems a liiiittle too good to be true—but over 4,800 five-star reviewers on Amazon say it’s the real deal. Available at three warmth levels (with heavyweight being the best for winter), this amazingly cheap option has a double-brushed poly-cotton-blend cover and baffle-box construction, and it comes stuffed with responsibly harvested down. Btw, despite the care instructions, testers claim you can get away with throwing it in the washer and dryer.

THE REVIEW: As one review reads, “I’ve never owned a quality down comforter before. I’ve tried a couple before this one, and there is no comparison. I feel a little spoiled. I will never go back to the poly-filled comforters. So soft and fluffy. Warm but not hot. I’m just in love with this one!”

Want a puffy winter comforter that doesn’t require a duvet cover? The search is over, folks. Encased in organic brushed cotton fabric and available in five muted colorways, this extra-lofty option is the ideal one-and-done bed accessory for those winter months—oh, and it features a gathered pintuck stitch, which gives it a chic, pleated lewk.

THE REVIEW: “Extremely comfortable,” one buyer notes. “Like, seriously the best comforter I have ever had. It’s heavy, which I like—almost like a light weighted blanket. It’s warm but breathable. I usually get hot when I sleep, but with this comforter, I truly don’t.”

Love bamboo sheets? Then you’ll <3 this light and breathable comforter from Ettitude, which is wildly soft and made with bamboo lyocell (aka CleanBamboo, which is more sustainable to produce than bamboo viscose). It comes in two different weight options—with winter weight being the best pick for cold sleepers—and even though it's dry-clean-only, this bb is worth the hassle (especially since it has handy corner ties!).

• Shell material: Bamboo lyocell
• Fill material: Bamboo lyocell
• Sizes available: Full/queen, king/Cal king
• Care instructions: Dry clean only
• Certification: Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX

THE REVIEW: According to one tester, “I’m very happy with my winter weight comforter so far. I had a synthetic comforter from Ikea, which made me so hot that I would wake up in the middle of the night sweating. This is the perfect weight and is great at keeping me warm but not overheated.”

For a duvet that feels as soft and warm as a pair of flannel jammies, go with this luxurious down-blend option. Packed with certified recycled white down (which is a rarity, tbh) and kapok fiber (which is similar to cotton but feels like silk), this 600-fill-power comforter provides a cloud-like feel—and though it’s breathable, reviewers say the warmth is truly next-level. As a bonus, it comes in four pastel colorways.

• Shell material: 88% polyester, 12% polyamide
• Fill material: 70% recycled down, 30% kapok fiber
• Sizes available: Twin, full/queen, king/Cal king
• Care instructions: Machine wash in cold water; tumble dry on low heat
• Certifications: Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX, Global Recycled Standard (GRS)

THE REVIEW: As one review reads, “We’ve had sub-zero temps here in northern Ohio and it’s gotten to be very cold at night. I was saving this for my guest room but wound up opening it up the other night, and boy, did it keep us warm! Really comfortable, too, and very well made. Couldn’t be happier with this choice.”

Sure, wool may seem like something that’ll leave ya drenched in sweat, but it actually has the opposite effect. Alpaca fiber is super-soft and breathable, and this duvet from YaYa & Co. is great for anyone who wants to sleep cozy without waking up a sweaty mess. Its organic cotton cambric shell is also soft to the touch with a lustrous finish (though it includes corner ties if ya wanna slip it inside a duvet cover).

THE REVIEW: “This is an absolute best bedding purchase,” one review reads. “The weight and warmth is so perfect. I love it and will keep it as my primary blanket until hot summer months. I’m so glad I found this.

When shopping for the coziest, comfiest winter duvet possible, here are some things to keep in mind:

Choose the right fill

The most common fill options for duvet inserts are down and down-alternative. Regular down filling is typically made with lightweight goose or duck plumage feathers, and it’s especially ideal for winter bedding since it naturally insulates…but usually comes at a higher price tag. For a more budget-friendly option, you can go with a down-alternative duvet or comforter, which come filled with synthetic materials, such as polyester, or natural materials, like bamboo or wool, and are often considered hypoallergenic, which is great for those concerned about dust and allergens.

Find the right weight

Most duvets come in several different weight options, with lightweight options being great for warmer months and hot sleepers, and heavyweight duvets suiting colder months and cool sleepers. And all-season duvets are exactly what they sound like—duvet blankets that are suitable for year-round use, thanks to their temperature-regulating fill. If you’re looking for a winter comforter but tend to sleep hot, then you may want to opt for an all-season weight.

Consider the care instructions

Since most of these winter comforter picks are meant to be put inside a duvet cover, they typically only need to get washed every four to six months. However! Spills can and do happen, and getting your duvet professionally laundered can be expensive (not to mention a pain). If you have pets or kids (or just happen to be v spill-prone), consider skipping the spot-clean-only or dry-clean-only comforters for something you can easily toss in the wash at home.
