When shopping for the best year-round down comforter, you'll want to keep a few things in mind. This may sound intuitive, but you'll want to search for a combination of warm down insulation for cold weather and a breathable design that allows airflow (think, 100% cotton covers). This will give the comforter the most versatility throughout the seasons.

You'll also want to pay mind to the fill power of any comforter you're looking at. Fill power represents the density of the comforter, and the higher the fill power the denser and warmer the filling. For most people, an all-season comforter will somewhere in the range of 500 to 650 fill power. That said, since a year-round comforter really should be suited to your climate and home, there are a few on this list that are a bit heavier than that, perfect for all seasons in a colder area. As you search, also factor in your sleep needs, and whether you tend to sleep warm or cold.

Also, pay mind to the type of feather used. Goose down feathers tend to be a bit warmer than duck down, thanks in part to the fact that goose feathers are naturally larger than duck feathers. That said, many comforters will offer a combination of feathers or be a bit hush hush about their specific feather blend.

That being said, not all down comforters are created equal. These eight are well worth the cost because they use high-quality materials that keep the temperature underneath balanced, so you can use them all year around — no matter how hot or cold it is outside.

According to one reviewer: I did a lot of research before purchasing this down comforter on the fill, material, etc. I found this one to be the most affordable genuine down comforter on the market. I love it!! I am so happy I got it! My [boyfriend] is a really hot sleeper so I was worried he wouldn’t like it but he loves it too! It keeps you the perfect temperature all night and isn’t too heavy. It’s definitely a year round comforter."
