Confused About Choosing the Right Down Comforter?

When you decide to purchase a down comforter you are selecting the warmest, most luxurious and comfortable way to sleep. Possibly you want to be warmer in bed, feel luxurious or just sleep better. There are a lot of down comforters out there, many without any real information for the consumer to make an educated purchase.

Here is what you really need to know:

1) All down comforter is not created equal. Goose down comforter is better than duck down. Down from mature geese that live in cold climates produce larger down clusters that trap more body heat keeping you warmer as well as lofting up to produce a comforter that is puffy without weight.

2) Comforters come in open stitch where the filling can move, closed stitch fixing the filling into one small box, and the Baffle Channel Tri-Wall construction, a channel stitch with a triangular baffle wall to prevent unwanted shifting. The channel tri-wall, the ultimate couple friendly comforter style, is very beneficial as it allows the filling to be adjusted on one side for truly individual comfort.

3) Down Comforters will eventually "leak" out of anything other than a cotton cambric downproof fabric. What makes the long staple Egyptian cotton fabric downproof is not just a high threadcount but callendering. This is a natural process of compressing the fabric between giant steel rollers to fill in spaces invisible to the eye.
