It’s available in a light/medium and medium/extra weight, and I tested both. The comforter is split down the middle, and one side has less fill and smaller sewn-through boxes than the other, to keep it cooler for hot sleepers. If you and your partner sleep at different temperatures: We thought The Company Store’s LaCrosse Dual Down Comforter was a gimmick (Alex tested and dismissed the down alternative version several years ago). Consider the Lightweight and Ultra-Warm versions of this comforter if your climate needs are different. And the Brooklinen website says the All-Season weight we recommend is made with duck down from Hutterite farmers in Canada, communal people belonging to a peace-driven Anabaptist sect. Brooklinen comforters also have a Downmark certification from the nonprofit Down Association of Canada (the president of Feather Industries Canada sits on its board). But they are made with down from Feather Industries Canada, which provides a traceable number to source its down (we submitted the form in September 2021 to source ours but haven’t heard back yet as of this writing). None of the Brooklinen comforters carry an RDS certification for ethical down. And each is made with a different kind of feather: The 650-fill-power Lightweight is filled with recycled feathers collected from down-filled bedding and apparel, the All-Season we recommend has duck down, and the 750-fill-power Ultra-Warm has goose down. All three available weights (Lightweight, All-Season, and Ultra-Warm) are Oeko-Tex–certified (which guarantees textiles are free from certain harmful substances).

The baffle-box construction is now fluffy and light. But the company completely redesigned them in 2020, and this brought strong improvements. We’ve tested Brooklinen comforters before and found them to be limp and unimpressive.
