Cooker - comforters

We have a company store one that I bought in 2002.  I bought the medium warmth down and it really does work for year round.  We keep our house around 68 in the winter and I throw a blanket over us if it's a really cold night.  I prefer medium because when the AC is on in the summer it's still not too hot.

Also, I bought it in the flax cover and use a duvet cover from PB.  The comforter itself is still pretty much perfect with minimum down shed.  I really like it.

  • Very cool. Thanks! I think I'm going to go with the medium warmth too, so we can use it year round if we need to, though we don't have A/C so I'm thinking we'll toss it off the bed come June or July. :)

  • Dear lord, no AC would kill me.  When is your baby due?  BF and leaking at night and no AC and July sounds like my personal hell. 
  • Loading the player...
  • Late April. It could suck, but we do have a window unit in our room that can cool the entire upstairs if we turn it on long enough and one for the dining room/living room downstairs so it didn't get TOO bad this past summer.

    Our house is stucco and brick too, which helps keep the temp down.

  • You should be comfortable until June at least, that's good.  And a window AC works well, I didn't even know if you had that.  

    There are always classy ways to stay cool, like kiddie pools with lawn chairs in them...one of my personal daytime favorites.

  • HA! A truck pool is my personal favorite. You can set your drink on the wheel hubs.

  • Is that something you buy at fleet farm or is that actually a truck bed filled with water that you hang out in?  My husband is from the range but a truck pool might have even escaped him. 
  • LOL at Fleet Farm. I spent half my childhood in that store, sadly.

    A truck pool, at least in my hood, is filling a truck bed with water (lined with tarp first of course). So klassy.?

  • Hey, if you were going to purchase a truck pool, you would either go to FF or a feed store.  I just guessed FF because there is one by my house.  I still love that store, they sell truly unique goods.

    I have never been in a truck pool.  I might have to change that summer 09.  Why don't they do Rock of Love - Truck Pool!

  • I'll page you when we get ours filled up for the summer. ;)

  • Good, I'm quitting my job (telling my boss tomorrow - eek!) so I should have more time to come over.
