do you mean one of those nice thick feather-filled (or down-filled) things that is stuffed inside a big sheet-like sack? If so, then I have been using one for the last 30+ years. The one we have now is actually 2 pieces: a thin comforter (about 1" thick) and a thick comforter (about 2 inches thick). The two can be buttoned together to make a 3" comforter. In summer we use the thin one, in spring and fall we use the thick one, and in winter we use them buttoned together.

It is the best way to sleep, in my opinion. I would never go back to blankets. The comforter is so much lighter and it settles down so nice and keeps me warm when I need it, and cool when I need that.

When I stay in a hotel with the old sheet-blanket-bedspread I am always uncomfortable. I guess after 30 years you get used to something.
