Comforter

Winter is coming so I'll need a blanket, my old cotton (Razai/Lihaf) needs some work so instead of going traditional way (buying new cover, cleaning and refilling cotton) I would like to buy something else like Comforter.

Are these good? Any recommendation would be helpful

I purchased this Wakefit comforter from Amazon last year. It's pretty warm and comfortable; however, it's useless in Ahmedabad's winter (which seldom gets below 10-11 degrees Celsius), even in December or January. But it will do the job for the North.
I tried using it in the AC, but it was too warm for me. Materials and stitching are quite good for the price.
 
I don't really trust youtube videos but a guy was saying to get 400-500 GSM for extreme cold so anything above 300 should be enough though the temp here doesn't go below 2~3C, in extreme case it would touch zero. I guess those 500 GSM would be for places like Kashmir.

If quality is good then I can try to get slightly higher GSM (300~400) for same company.

They recommend to wash it before first use. Will it fit in an 8kg washer?

Razai is heavy

Hmm. I always thought heavy comforters are better for sleep. Many people are shifting to super heavy ones.

Gravity blankets (7kg)

9kg blanket

If anyone has tried these, please chip in.

I use fancy lightweight comforters that I bought from some chain store. Would dump them for a desi razai any day.

Once you have used cotton, I am not sure you will like the synthetic ones. ( Long term cotton razai user)

most people forget what is difference between real cotton and micro-fiber. In long term real cotton (kapas/kapus/rui/ruee) have good effect on health compare to micro-fiber (artificial kapas)

Fiber mixed razai which are quite light and warm have come in . They are not 100% cotton inside ofcourse

Yes they are mostly cheaper and not as hot as white cotton, I saw grey, brown cottons (maybe they are microfibers, I don't know) but we always use white one which is of best quality. Only thing I don't like in razai is cleaning, you can't clean it every season.

Cleaning was the main reason I wanted to switch
