		<description><![CDATA[Fill power describes the quality of the down used in many fabrics from sleeping bags to comforters. Pacific Coast down comforters use a minimum of 550 fill power in products that it produces for better loft and insulation.
Superior insulation is accomplished with large clusters of down, which breathe and last longer than the smaller, fragile [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In our discussion about fill power and loft over the past several days we would be remiss if we did not say that calculations are only approximate. A more accurate way to compare goose down comforters is to use European Norm temperature ratings, which are based on realistic independent lab tests.
 These tests are the lowest comfortable [...]]]></description>

This type of down from breeding geese is rare and expensive, but it has greater loft and gets [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fill power can be thought of in terms of cubic inches per ounce, so the bigger the volume of each ounce the higher the fill power number. A fill power of 400-450 is medium quality; 500-550 is good quality; 550-750 is very good quality; and over 750+ fill power is excellent quality.
All of the 750+ [...]]]></description>
