The first time I bought this set was at Target, several years ago. I don't know how it happened, but I started sleeping on the little white pillow that comes with the set. That turned into me not being able to sleep without this pillow. (Even taking it out of town with me, and telling my husband I want to be buried with it.) After a few years, it was flat and super disgusting. I tried buying other similar pillows, but nothing could compare to this darn white pillow. A friend of a friend happened to have this set, and gave it to me. Yay! But after another few years, that one was disgusting too. So here I was, searching the internet, trying to *just* buy the pillow. That didn't happen, so I ended up having to buy the whole set again. This time on Amazon. Being on my 3rd set, I think it's safe to say that i have a LOT of experience with this product. Likely more than most other people lol. On to the product review.. The set itself is beautiful. It doesn't look or feel cheap at all. Some comforters have like a shine to them, that really makes them look cheap imo, but this set doesn't have that. Like i said before, i originally bought this set at Target, and they, for the most part, sell quality products. It washes well. I've always thrown the comforter right in the washing machine, and then hang it to dry. You could probably put it in the dryer, but I never wanted to risk the stuffing bunching up too crazy. The way i washed & dried them, never caused the stuffing to bunch. It comes with 4 pillow cases, but 2 of them are a weird square shape. I don't think I've ever even seen a pillow that would fit the size/shape of these cases. So unless you already have, or, are planning on getting that size pillows, plan on only being able to use the 2 white pillow cases. I have a queen sized bed, and the queen set fits well. It hangs off of each side of the bed by about a foot or so. I don't really sleep under the comforter. I sleep on top of it and use soft snuggly blankets when i go to bed. But i have slept under it, and it is pretty warm. It almost reminds me of the down-alternative comforters that I've used before, just a little bit thinner. All in all, if you like the look of this set in the pictures, I think you'll be happy if you purchase it. At the time of writing this review, Amazon is the cheapest place to buy this set. Macy's & Target both sell it, but for considerably more. If anybody out there knows of a way for me to just buy the white 18X18" pillow that comes with this set, please let me know. You will be my hero, and I'll owe you big time! Please let me know if you found this review helpful to you. (I get a notification on my phone when someone marks my review as helpful, and it totally makes my day to know that I've helped someone.) Knowing how difficult online shopping is, I try my hardest to write reviews that might help someone decide whether or not that product is right for them. Without being able to touch, and actually see the product in person, it's almost impossible to truly know exactly what you're getting. Also, if you have any questions, or if you'd like me to post more pictures, go ahead on comment on this review, and I'll help you as much as I can. :D **Note- I folded one of the weird square pillow cases onto the white throw pillow, just until the pillowcase I ordered comes in the mail. So that's the green/teal pillow you see in my pictures. I couldn't get any pictures without any cats on the bed. They were very excited, and very curious as to what in the world i just did to our bed.
