    Question The cold shoulder..

    Ive been having an issue with keeping the down at the top of the chambers by my head, shoulder and feet in my winter nest. Before I climb in I make sure its lofted fully and not compressed anywhere. After I'm in and situated I pull it up by my shoulder and feet. By morning tho, those 2 areas don't have any down them and I'm cold in those spots. I know quilt hooks will keep the quilt on my shoulder better, but what about the falling down? It happens when I use the WN with my HH and gathered end both. And if anything , quilt could be closer to my backside as I'm still learning to snug it up more plus I've been allowing for a slight vent since its a 0° UQ and the temps are in the mid- high 30's to low 50 at night now. Any ideas??

    I have The Nest and have not experienced this issue...certainly not saying you are not. If it were me I would drop JRB either a call or email and ask them the question. They don't stop in here every day but are very quick to respond to email.

    Will do. Yeah I even tried moving down from the opposite side to make the bottom and those spots thicker but to no avail. They always end up with no down at the top and slid under my shoulder and feet by morning. I am ordering quilt clips to keep it in place,but can't seem to get the down to stay at the top where I need it most in those spots.

    Gravity is a tough opponent!

    Horizontal baffles lend themselves to this issue. I use a JRB UQ and am usually ok but it happens sometimes.

    I too say reach out to JRB - they are awesome at taking care of their customers.

    I did just that and they said it could just need washed since I bought it used and there is quite a bit of down in the quilt already. I'll give that a shot and see if it lofts up a little more maybe? Idk if its lost loft since I've never seen it new....
