I was torn between wool and down and I chose wool for a healthier and more economical option than the down ones I was looking at. I bought wool and I don't regret it at all. It is warm and sits more evenly on the bed (I wanted it as a throw). Yes, it is a bit heavy, but not much heavier than down, and it sounds just as good as down. Plus, you get used to it within a week. I highly recommend it.
