Feather Comforters

Down is the soft undercoating of geese and ducks, consisting of clusters of light, fluffy filaments growing from a central quill point. It is the most powerful insulator of any natural or man-made material.

Feathers are the outer growth of birds. Feathers consist of a hard quill shaft (or stem) with fibers extending from each side. 

Microfiber is soft and plush like down, but denser, trapping less air.

Down comforters are light and airy, while feather and microfiber comforters are heavier, as more fill is needed to match the warmth of a down comforter.

Duck down is less costly than goose down because it is more abundant and less prized. There is a common misconception that goose down is higher quality than duck down, however loft is the measure of down quality – not species.

Duck down has a greater potential to develop odor when exposed to moisture. Lower loft duck down is more prone to odor than goose down or higher loft duck down.

Opting for duck down is a more cost-effective way to enjoy the benefits of a down comforter!

Loft refers to how many cubic inches an ounce of down will fill.

The higher the loft, the fluffier and warmer per ounce and better overall quality it is.

The higher the loft, the lighter the comforter, because the down has better insulating properties, so less of it is needed to achieve the desired warmth level.

Thread count refers to the number of threads per square inch of fabric.

The lower the thread count, the starchier, more durable, and more rustly the fabric.

The higher the thread count, the quieter and softer the fabric.

All of the fabric we use is down-proof and feather-proof to prevent leakage, regardless of thread count!

Products with the same warmth rating are the same warmth level! For example, all Regular Weight comforters are the same warmth level.

Summer Weight: Thinner style comforters, best for hot sleepers or room temperatures of 72°F and above.

Regular Weight: Best for moderate room temperatures of 66-70°F

All Season Weight: Best for cooler rooms of 61-65°F
