Down Comforters

In bygone days our forbears discovered that a natural occurring insulator to cold air found on geese and ducks – down – could also keep his own kind insulated. Down is a by-product of meat consumption of ducks and geese that are most commonly eaten in Europe and Asia.

Before down can be used and made into down blankets and other bedding or clothing it needs to be cleaned and sanitized. People with allergy’s are normally allergic to dust mites that can collect in down and feathers and not to the down itself. The use of a pillow protector on new or thoroughly cleaned pillows generally eliminates problems associated with many allergies.
