As other reviewers have pointed out, the real thing is not as large or fluffy as the picture. When I initially unwrapped it, I was afraid it was too thin. One person had complained that it was like a "padded sheet", and at first that seemed to be the case. However, once I got it in our duvet cover and used it, it really fluffed up. I'm actually very happy with this purchase. The queen size fit my full size bed very well. It's looks and feel voluminous, and felt perfectly soft even before the cover was on it. The one caution I have is that it gets VERY warm. I would not call it an all season comforter, as another reviewer did. It's awesome for chilly nights, but can get pretty sweaty in 80 degree Southern California.
