Pacific Coast Down Blanket

Pacific Coast Down Blanket, Queen CreamI do not particularly like duvets and their covers. It seems to me they get wadded up and moved around even if there's lots of stitching. The discovery of a down blanket as opposed a down-filled duvet made me very happy. The previous down blanket we had, however, did not come over the edges of the bed far enough in my opinion. With the purchase of a new bed and mattress set, with a mattress that's 20" deep, there was no way the old one was going to work. This king sized Pacific Coast Down Blanket covers exactly the way I want it to. It's generous in size so that you can tuck it in at the foot and have 2 squares hanging off each edge. It's also nice and warm. This was a great purchase.

I have purchased two Pacific Coast down blankets in 11 years. The blanket stsys on my bed year-round. It's light enough for warmer months and weighty enough to keep you warm in winter, though in colder months I also keep a quilt on the bed too (most nights, we don't even need the quilt). I wash this blanket on gentle and toss in the dryer about every two weeks and it comes out looking and feeling perfect. I would recommend using a few dryer sheets because the blanket can have a strange odor the first few times when it comes out of the dryer. That dissipates though. The satin trim will wear out before any part of the blanket, and even then, that will take years. I love the fact that the baffles (squares) hold the feathers in place which makes the blanket hold its shape.

Can't say enough about this blanket. As long as they maintain this quality, I'll never buy another brand.

I just received my blanket. On taking it out of the package, it was poor quality. Yes, the down on the inside maybe excellent but the fabric on the outside is low end quality. It feels like and sounds like paper. Would you want this on top of you at night? Then I tried to return it and this company wants me to pay return shipping. I feel this is completely unfair.

When the box arrived I had to double check that correct item had been shipped. The shipping weight on the box said 6 lbs but I wasn't sure what the box or vinyl storage unit it was in additionally weighed.

First we inserted it into the flannel duvet we had and found it really weighed down the medium Pacific Coast down comforter we already had. We had hoped this blanket would add just a little more warmth without much extra weight.

Even out of the duvet it still is heavy, almost the feel of a medium weight wool blanket. For us, it defeats the wonderful feel of our original comforter.

I grew up on farms so I remember the old heavy quilts and blankets we had, so I can personally deal with the extra weight. But my wife just can't adjust to the heaviness of this combination. We will investigate instead Pacific Coast's lightest comforter and send this item back.
