you should really hit the streets and do your search, most comforters are of comparable quality here. although the stores don't advertise (with signs) you can't miss the heaps of colorful blankets they will display Smile

if that fails there is always homeplus and emart

Homeplus.

The one near me (Bucheon) has a whole selection, ranging from synthetic to 100% cotton with 100% goose down inside. They're expensive, but still cheaper than what I paid for a nice one in the states a few years back.

I don't know the specifics on it, but the ones that I saw at HomePlus were along the lines of what you posted. I'll probably buy one this next week - will let you know what it's like.

That's when you know you are starting to get old, getting excited about a new comforter. I'm in the same boat as you!

Got ours from Costco. It's not great but warm and to get it dry cleaned is about 15,000.

Just got mine from homeplus the other day. It's warm. It's wool with a polyester/cotton cover. It's warm. They were on sale, too. normally about 110, got it for about 80.

Highly recommend it - picture of a lamb on the front, woolmark something... totally worth it.

Have you tried this place? It's run by expats, for expats in Korea.
