Also, 1000 down is stupid and not even real unless in absolute humidity free conditions. Marketing again. 800 is realistically the highest backpackers (I've back packed extensively and worked in the outdoor industry) should go, but only to increase packability and decrease weight. None of that matters on your bed. I prefer a heavier feather/down combo for something that stays on my bed.

Agree, I want weight not fluff.

Comforter for fluff, quilt for weight. Like wearing layers for instant temp adjustment!

I’ve got a Faribault wool blanket for weight and thermal regulation and a Parachute mattress topper for fluff. Sweet heaven.

My weighted blanket was a bit spendy, but was SO worth the money.

Yeah, I'm a lightweight camper and I love my down sleeping bag. Love me a weighted blanket at home though. Two very different kinds of sleep.

Totally.

900 is no good?

It's either fake or simply unnecessary for these purposes. In an ultralight backpacking jacket or sleeping bag, it's good, you're just paying way too money for something that is only 2% lighter weight. Go to r/ultralight and search down. More info than you could ever imagine.
