Here are the best alpaca wool comforters I’ve found:
- Ave Maria 400 GSM (grams per square meter) alpaca wool
- Inca Fashion: 450 GSM alpaca wool
- Pacific Alpacas: 400 GSM alpaca wool (ships from New Zealand)
Alpaca wool is one of the warmest fibers that can be used to fill comforters.
The wool also contains no lanolin so they are hypoallergenic and odorless. They have excellent moisture “wicking” properties. Body moisture is absorbed by the fiber, keeping sweat away to be released to the outside of the comforter.
Alpacas are kept in herds that graze in the mountains of Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Chile.
Here are more details on alpaca wool comforters I’ve found:

Pacific Alpaca Comforters (New Zealand): 400 Grams Wool Per Square Meter
A company called Pacific Alpacas makes comforters in Central Otago, New Zealand. The company sources alpaca fiber from New Zealand breeders. The inner part of their duvets are made with 100% New Zealand alpaca fiber encased in a 400 thread count sateen cotton cover. The duvet ships with a “Certificate of Authenticity” and a cotton storage bag.
Of the three brands I recommend, these are the least expensive alpaca comforters by weight and size. However, the comforters must be shipped from New Zealand.
