OK, first a foreword. As many of you may know, shopping with a female companion can very well be the greatest test our gender has ever known, right up there with putting the seat down. To sooth the savage beast laying deep within her psyche, we have a question.

What brands of down comforter are the best? Also, what does one look for in trying to find a high quality down comforter? Fill power, thread count, its all greek to me.

Will someone out there please shed a little light onto this dark, dark, DARK, world I am currently living in?

Thanks in advance to all that can help.
 
check out costco, they have a great quality comforter that beats the 350 fill that i got from Overstock.com a year ago... can't find a much better comforter than that for under 100 bucks!

oh, and for the dark world... buy a lamp 🙂
 
The best comforter I've ever found was a perfect set of 34C breasts...the snuggle factor is immeasureable. 😀
 
I should also note that the comforter is not for me but for my partner in crime. I, like most guys, am happy with just about any sort of bedding as long as keeps me warm. She however treats it as if she is making a life or death purchase.

As you're standing to the side, and she's rummaging thru the shelves, touching, pushing, pulling and poking every damn bed-in-a-bag the store has you do the following:

*smack hand as hard as you can on a bag that's 6-inches from her face*

You say:

Dammit, you whiny little bitch! I've been walking around this store with you since last freakin' Tuesday already! You will pick one. You will pick one NOW and we are leaving....did I stutter? Why are you not already walking towards the register, purchase in hand? MOOOOOOVE!

As personally satisfying and gratifying as that may be...I have to say that I could never do that to the love of my life who happens to be watching type this very post. Repeat, I could NEVER do that to anyone, especially someone who is intently watching me type this.
 
Can't help you with the comforter, sorry 🙁 . I do feel your pain though. My girlfriend has yet to drag me on a shopping expedition, but that day is coming, I know. How? Because: she can stand staring at a closet FULL of clothes and still say "I have nothing to wear!" WTF? that closet's full...just pick something 😛. Of course, this is coming from a guy who's happy if he's got a nice t-shirt or polo shirt, a pair of bluejeans, and his hiking boots, so what do I know?

(before anybody blows a gasket, this is all in jest. She laughs about it as much as I do😀 )

I say whip it!
Whip it good!
That's it, whip it!
Whip it good!

Dananana, wha-wha-wa-wha!

When your girlfriend's hanging 'round, you are WHIP-ED!

You're a wussy little man!

You are WHIP-ED!

😀



I don't mince words w/me SO. She knows what pisses me off and knows better than to do it. That goes double for ME. I do not piss her off, b/c the consequences just arent' worth it. Namely, no nookie. 🙁

Anyway, goodnight, whipping boy. Go to Costco again tomorrow...have fun comparing the print pattern on 4,087 comforters and their matching curtains.

It's not that I dont enjoy it, we have a good time while we are out. What I really want to know is about the down comforters. Are there any preferred brands or should I just stick to the lowest priced one I can find with the specs(?) that I am looking for. And talking about the specs what should I really be looking for?

Why? B/C shopping with most women is like having root canal done. On a Monday morning. With a hangover. With no anesthetia. 🙁

For clothes/bedding/housewares, anyway.

I go food shopping w/my GF all the time. We can get our whole list and then some in 20 minutes, tops...and that's a full cart! We go thru the store at 90mph, running over anyone too dumb to take our "excuse me!" literally. Move the hell out of the way, dumbass. Compare labels on your own time, not mine. 🙂

Has some answers that might help ya out

Also, is it "just" for her or will you use it as well. If you do, consider getting a queen or even king size.
