Down Comforters

Raw down and feather supplies are like commodities that are sensitive to supply and demand. Down bedding manufacturers make up only part of the demand along with the makers of down apparel and sleeping bags.

The supply and demand is affected by the needs of consumers and manufacturers, which cannot be reliably estimated. During a downturn in an economy for example, demand for more expensive down comforters would be less, even though humans have a need to keep themselves warm, but would turn possibly to cheaper synthetic materials.
