A microfiber down comforter is one of the most comfortable and luxurious things you could add to your bed coverings. Microfiber is mostly made of polyester, in strands that are thinner than can be visible to the human eye. However, when laced together it can feel great to the skin. It is also very lightweight, so the main weight of comforter is in the down, not the covering.
The biggest benefit of purchasing a microfiber down comforter is that it can feel like it is made out of a more luxurious material like high-grade cotton or suede, but without the high-grade price. It is possible to find a good comforter for less than one hundred dollars. However, you also must keep in mind the quality of the down inside the comforter.

Duck down is generally less soft than that of goose down, and hence less expensive. On top of that, there are multiple grades of goose down. A very high-end goose down comforter can cost upwards of a thousand dollars, while lower grade goose down can be comparable to duck down's prices. How important the softness is to you should dictate what grade of down you consider, as most people can not tell the different between duck down and low to mid-grade goose down. Additionally, there is imitation down available that is even cheaper than duck -- and it provides a similar softness.
Because a microfiber down comforter is made of polyester, you can easily wash it by just putting it in the washing machine. However, your washing machine must be large enough to effectively wash a large comforter. If it is not, it is better if you go to the laundromat or have the comforter dry cleaned at your convenience.
Comforters come in a wide variety of designs because they are so common in just about every household in the winter time. No matter the way you have your bedroom or guest room decorated, you can almost certainly find a design or style out there that will go well with your already-established decor. Often it can be easy to find pillow cases and throw pillows to match a particular comforter, mostly from the same manufacturer or brand name. This is great if you want to keep your entire bedroom set matching year-round.
You can't go wrong with a comforter made of microfiber: they feel fantastic and are easy to clean whenever you need to. You do not need to spend hundreds of dollars to get a comforter made of pure silk, suede, or specially-woven cotton. A microfiber down comforter will provide all the comfort, warmth, and style you need at a fraction of the price.
