Recently, I returned to my childhood home in Southern California for an extended stay — which meant sleeping in my childhood bedroom. The space itself is fine (redesigned by yours truly in my late teens), but one detail quickly became a problem. By night one, it was annoying. By night three, it was impossible to ignore: the bedding. I hated it.
Temperature-regulating? Not remotely. Fluffy? Absolutely not. Seventeen-year-old Julia had clearly never heard of performance fabrics — or, apparently, comfort. And to be fair, she hadn’t yet become a style editor inundated with the best bedding brands, either.
Still, the old comforter was objectively unacceptable. The universe, it seems, was listening. On day four, as I worked remotely from the same bedroom, I received an email offering me the chance to test Cozy Earth’s Bamboo Viscose Comforter. It arrived within days, and I used it for the remainder of my trip — roughly two weeks — before flying back to the city.
Here are my honest thoughts from someone who has now tested more comforters than she can count. (In fact, I've made a career of it.)
First Impressions
Like all Cozy Earth products, the first thing I noticed wasn’t the comforter itself — it was the bag. Their bedding arrives in surprisingly chic, oversized canvas carriers that feel more fit for fashion than home goods.
This one, larger than others I’d received from the brand, was immediately claimed by my mom (a woman with excellent taste) as her new overnight duffle.
Out of the bag, the comforter felt perfectly plush — not too bulky, not too flat. But for me, the true test isn’t feel. It’s the duvet insert.
Available Sizes: Twin - King
Fill Amount: Standard and Extra
Cozy Earth’s Bamboo Viscose Comforter had been on my must-try list for a while. For one, it’s from Cozy Earth — the brand behind Oprah and Kris Jenner’s favorite sheets. Two, it promises cloud-like softness, breathable temperature regulation, and interior snap closures to prevent that dreaded bunching. Three: customizable fill — standard or extra, depending on your plushness preference. And four: a near-perfect 4.9 out of 5 stars across more than 1,000 reviews. Needless to say, my expectations were high.
I despise putting a comforter into a duvet. Despise. It’s a process that usually requires both a clear afternoon and a full existential reset. But this time was different. Cozy Earth had also sent me their duvet cover, which, thankfully, features internal snap closures that hook into the comforter’s loops. No slippage. No chaos. Already a win.
Visually, it looked luxe — puffy but not excessive. (For reference, I opted for the standard fill.) It had that inviting, cloud-like presence that makes you want to dive in. I grew increasingly excited for nightfall.
The Review
Perfect. Temperature. Regulation. I cannot stress this enough — I am the queen of covers-on, covers-off chaos. Most nights, my bedding set ends up in the far corners of the bed or wrapped around me in a self-made cocoon. It’s exhausting just typing that. Sleep should be restful.
And with Cozy Earth’s Bamboo Viscose Comforter, it was. The weight felt substantial but never stifling — reminding me, in the best way, of my favorite hotel stays. I tossed and turned less. I slept deeper.
Did I wash it? No. Two weeks is not nearly enough time to justify laundering a comforter. That said, I felt vindicated reading the care instructions: “Excessive washing of our comforters will lead to an uneven distribution of the filling.”
Cozy Earth recommends using a duvet cover (check) and spot- or dry-cleaning if needed — which, frankly, you probably won’t.
And that plush, airy softness? Still very much intact. As it should be.
The Verdict
Now I’m back in New York — and I won’t name names, but the comforter currently on my bed is from a similarly buzzy bedding brand. After two weeks with Cozy Earth, I like it about half as much as I did before.
This isn’t nostalgia talking. I’m genuinely envious of my childhood bedroom — the same one I couldn’t stand by night three — because of that gloriously puffy comforter. I slept so well.
And for that, I’d say it’s worth every penny. A few hundred dollars for better sleep? Truth be told, I’m considering buying another for my apartment.
12/10. No notes.
Pairs Well With
Available Sizes: Twin - King
This is the exact duvet you see pictured above — in Cream, if you were wondering. It has a subtle sheen that’s barely noticeable unless it catches the sun, and it’s easily one of the softest I’ve ever owned. I also have one in Oat here in New York, and can confirm: it gets better with every wash. While I tend to stick to neutrals, Cozy Earth offers a broad range of shades if you’re feeling a little more adventurous.
Available Sizes: Twin / Twin XL - Split King
Yes, these are the famous sheets — shown here in Charcoal. And yes, the legends are true: the bedding material is buttery-soft, and arguably softer than silk. They’re ideal for hot sleepers and have that perfect oversized drape, so even a freshly made bed still feels lived-in. Don’t just take my word for it — nearly 9,000 glowing reviews have landed these at a collective 4.9 out of 5 stars.
Available Sizes: Travel - Body
I haven’t personally tried Cozy Earth’s pillows yet, but with a 4.8-star average, I’m intrigued. Made from the same breathable, moisture-wicking bamboo blend, they promise that “cool side of the pillow” feel — on every side. I also appreciate the range: standard, king, a petite travel option (mercifully not shaped like a neck brace), and a full body pillow. The brand’s bestselling formula, available in every possible format.
If you’re into the little luxuries, you’ll want to try Cozy Earth’s bath towels too. I reviewed them — here’s what to know.
