What is the best comforter overall?
The Buffy Cloud comforter took the crown as the best comforter that I tested. I love it so much that I sleep with it every night. It’s ultra soft and fluffy and exudes luxury and comfort, elevating the look of any bedroom. It has a eucalyptus fabric shell and an eco-friendly, certified-recycled fill, making it lightweight and airy. It's the type of comforter that just about anyone will like, and it's also one of the most affordable comforters on this list.

Editors' choice Caroline Igo/CNET Buffy Cloud comforter Best overall comforter $200 at Buffy $200 at Amazon Our take: The Buffy Cloud comforter is a warmer, plusher pick. It's perfect for cooler weather or all seasons if you don't have any issues heating up at night. Even though I'm a hot sleeper, I've slept with this comforter for about a year now and don’t have any complaints (although, I do like to keep my room at a cooler temperature). I also sleep only with this comforter -- no duvet cover, top sheet or other blankets. How it sleeps: The outside shell of the Buffy Cloud is made with eucalyptus fabric, which offers a softer and more breathable option than cotton. While I wouldn’t say it's cool to the touch, it is more temperature-regulating than other down alternative comforters. Inside the Buffy Cloud is a soft, eco-friendly, certified-recycled fiber fill that gives the comforter a fluffy, lightweight and airy feel. It's an ultra-cozy addition to any bed. I would recommend a duvet cover since washing this huge, fluffy comforter can be a pain. Pros: Plush and warm
Soft and breathable eucalyptus fabric
