Down Comforters

Sixty-Five percent of the down produced in the world comes from Asia and most of the rest from Eastern Europe. Farmers generally will sell birds for meat and sell the down to brokers who sell the raw material to down and feather processors worldwide.

Processors prepare the raw material for the making of down feather pillows and comforters and other products. Supplies of the goose and duck down are usually greater around the time of the Chinese New Year because of higher consumption of the birds’ meat by consumers
