Brooklinen All-Season Down Comforter Review 2025: Warm in the winter and cool in the summer?
You've probably heard the hype around down comforters. They're soft and durable and often touted as the highest quality comforters on the market. Most notably, they're known for keeping folks warm during the winter. When we heard that Brooklinen offered an All-Season Down Comforter, we had to know – would it be breathable enough during the spring and summer?
The Brooklinen All-Season Down Comforter is well designed with 100 percent Canadian down evenly distributed throughout the comforter, so it doesn't bunch on one side or the other. With a breathable cotton cover, it's the most versatile down comforter Brooklinen has to offer with a 700 fill power. You can buy it in three sizes and fit it into a duvet in the corresponding size. With its fluffy, cloud-like appearance, it looks great on any bed.
Given its fill power and 100 percent ethically sourced Canadian down, we're not surprised that it doesn't come cheap (MSRP starts at $299 for a twin.) Especially, considering Brooklinen have encased that fill in a cotton cover and designed the comforter in a square pattern so that the fill is evenly spread out.
While you could put this white comforter directly on the bed, it's outfitted with loops for those who want to use it in a duvet. The cotton cover is crisp and breathable, however, because down tends to trap heat, we think you'll be warm during the winter and possibly on warm nights. During the summer, you might need to adjust the temperature inside your home, sleepwear, and sheets or duvet materials, or else you could find yourself growing warm.
The Brooklinen Down Comforter is sold in three different weights – lightweight, all-season, and ultra-warm. Combined, all three options have a 4.5 out of 5-star rating out of 2,583 reviews on the Brooklinen website. There are only 84 reviews and a 4.3-star rating on Amazon (again, that rating refers to all three weight options.)
The Brooklinen All-Season Down Comforter is a premium-priced comforter, which makes sense considering the brand name and the fact that it's made with 100% Hutterite down.
Here are the prices for the Brooklinen All-Season Down Comforter directly from the brand's website when at full MSRP:
It's worth noting that you'll pay $20 less than MSRP for a twin and queen size comforter at Amazon. However, Brooklinen is currently giving buyers 15% off as part of a spring promo, which is a pretty standard sale from them. Not to mention, those who subscribe to Brooklinen with their email will get 20% off a purchase. However, if you're looking to buy the Brooklinen All-Season Down Comforter at the lowest possible price we'd recommend waiting for the Memorial Day mattress sales, when we expect to see deep discounts from some of our favorite bedding brands.
Upon removing the Brooklinen All-Season Down Comforter from the box it arrived in, it was clear that this is a high-quality comforter. Not only was it fluffy and poufy, but the 100% cotton sateen shell was crisp and soft to the touch. Brooklinen sells the comforter in three warmth levels – lightweight, all-season, and ultra-warm. We tested the all-season, the most versatile of the three, meant to be used year-round.
The comforter has a baffle box construction – or is comprised of small boxes – which helps to evenly distribute the 100% Canadian Hutterite down, high-quality goose down from ethically raised geese by Hutterite communities in Canada. The down is praised for its high quality, loft, and insulation capabilities.
It makes sense then that the Brooklinen All-Season Down Comforter is DOWNMARK Certified – indicating the down was ethically sourced and produced. An OEKO-TEX certification, which notes that the comforter has been tested for harmful chemicals, is the cherry on top.
Loops can be found on the corners of the comforter to secure it to the duvet.
We tested a king-sized Brooklinen All-Season Down Comforter over a month in springtime in North Texas, when the weather fluctuated between 40 and 85 degrees during the day and 30 to 65 at night. This was the perfect time to test as the weather somewhat mimicked various seasons throughout the year (except for the high heat of summer when it gets 90-110 degrees in this area.)
The comforter arrived wrapped in plastic and packaged in a cardboard box. Upon opening, it immediately expanded. Our reviewer placed it inside their duvet (it's not clear what material the duvet is made of). We used the loops along the corners to stretch out the comforter and attach it inside the duvet, so the comforter wouldn't slide.
We loved how the comforter looked inside a duvet. It maintained its fluffy, pillowy-like look, and felt superbly cozy when our reviewer laid down at night. Our reviewer's previous comforter had flattened, and the Brooklinen All-Season Down Comforter offered a more posh, upscale look to her bed that reminded her of comforters in high-end hotel rooms.
Score: 5 out of 5
When it came to testing the Brooklinen All-Season Down Comforter, we wanted to see how breathable it was, and if we'd get hot or sweaty. On cold nights, the Brooklinen All-Season Down Comforter kept our reviewer nice and cozy. In fact, she didn't have to wear thick or bulky sleepwear, and remained warm, even when her heater was turned down to 65 degrees.
As the days grew warmer, our reviewer turned off her heater. On specifically warm nights, her body heat did seem to get trapped under the all-season down comforter, making it uncomfortably warm and her body slightly sweat. She made some adjustments – adding breathable organic cotton sheets to the bed, turning on the fan, and wearing very light sleepwear or nothing at all. This helped tremendously and reduced her chances of getting warm at night or sweaty. (For reference, she does not usually sleep hot.)
Summer is quickly approaching in North Texas, and when it does, our reviewer plans on turning on her air-conditioner. With the A/C and fan on, our tester doesn't think the All-Season Down Comforter will make her hot – as long as she doesn't wear any thick sleepwear and has cotton sheets on the bed. She's also inclined to believe that an organic duvet cover would help in the breathability of the All-Season Down Comforter.
Score: 3.5 out of 5
Unfortunately, the Brooklinen All-Season Down Comforter is spot or dry clean only, which means you can't throw it in the washing machine. Keeping it clean will come with effort and a cost.
It's also important to note that down can trigger allergies. Our reviewer's allergies weren't triggered, but this is still a possibility for some. She did, however, notice some bits of feather work through the comforter and the duvet, requiring her to pick them up and throw them away.
Score: 3 out of 5
There is a lot to love about the Brooklinen All-Season Down Comforter. It looks fantastic on a bed – cloud-like and puffy – the kind of cozy comforter that anyone would love to pull over their body at night. We appreciate the fact that it's filled with 100% Canadian down and an encased in a cotton cover.
The Brooklinen All-Season Down Comforter is meant to be used all seasons. If you live in a particularly cooler part of the world, you likely won't have any issues with the All-Season Down Comforter. However, for those who run hot or live in hotter areas, it might not be the best fit for you, as our reviewer found it did trap some heat. You can offset this with minor changes like using cotton sheets and a breathable duvet, turning on the fan at night, or lowering the A/C. Then again – the lightweight version of this comforter might be a better alternative.
While it's a bit pricey, it's clear from the look and feel that the Brooklinen All-Season Down Comforter is well made and will surely last for years to come.
