What's the Difference in Down
 |
Down not only keeps you warm in the winter, it is also breathable enough for the warmer months. This makes it a great insulation system, both under feathers and in your bed. This means a down comforter is a great cover if you're looking for a good night's sleep. Down is not outer feathers, but rather the fuzzy stuff underneath. Down is what cute ducklings, goslings, and chicks are covered with. And as down serves as the lining in jackets, pillows, and comforters, it is also the lining on the goose itself. A down comforter is fluffy and perfect, and leaves you feeling as loose as a goose. All but allergy free The vast majority of down products are hypoallergenic, and cases of people being actually allergic to down itself are pretty rare. Most down allergies are from "dirty" down -- that is, you are allergic to the mold or dirt that gets on it. If you get a good product and care for it properly, allergies likely won't be an issue. |
A cover for all seasons
Of course, during extremely cold or especially sweltering conditions, there are exceptions. But for the most part, a down comforter is one that can stay with you all through the year. As down is an insulator, it tends to keep your normal body temperature whether the air around you is cold or warm. It can lock in heat or breathe enough to let it out. A down comforter is soft, fluffy, and a great innovation. Just ask a goose.
