Large down clusters make for high fill powers
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 down clusters that are used in low quality comforters. The higher the fill power means that the clusters of down are larger and stronger.
Keeping down feathers inside of your comforter
The fabric used in making bedding that contains down needs to be downproof. There are a variety of fabrics that are used in down bedding, but whichever one is used must be constructed so that the fine down fibers cannot penetrate it.
Pacific Coast Feather Company uses BarrierWeave TM technology to produce goose down comforters with fabric that achieves this. This technology produces a finer, softer, and more durable fabric that is up to three times more leakproof than the standard requirement.
