Down comforters are practical in a bad economy
The holidays are upon us and Christmas gift giving will be harder than most of us have ever experienced. Practicality will be considered above luxury to make the best use of limited resources.
One gift that is practical and still luxurious is a goose down comforter. Comforters are good investments because they last for years and are natural insulators on long winter nights. Be sure to give the gift that will last this year; you will be loved for it.
Why is down soft and lofty?
Ducks and geese have soft insulating down clusters on their breasts. Down is a plume, which means that it has no hard elements such as a quill like feathers have. Down clusters contain many thousands of soft filaments that radiate out like a dandelion and form the spherical plume.
Down has a structure that is three-dimensional that gives it superior lofting and fill power. A goose down pillow is incredibly soft and luxurious because of the loft of down.
