Down Comforter Bedding
Down comforters equal good night sleep.28.10.2008
We are revamping our blog to better answer our readers’ questions, curiosities and concerns about down. Once a week we will post “The Down Low On Down” to discuss down history, cleaning, general use and functions. Our other weekly column will be “Decorating With Down”, offering tips decorating your home with down comforters and other down accessories. Finally, we will do a blog every week called “Down Under Cover” featuring fun fictional and non-fictional stories about down.
Today “The Down Low On Down” will address ones of the most the basic questions – what IS down? The word down refers to the layer of fine feathers found under the tough, hard exterior feathers of a bird. Young birds are usually completely covered in down until their feathers mature. Down is used as a padding and an insulator in bedding, comforters, pillows and sleeping backs. Down jackets are a popular way to take down around town to stay warm. Usually goose down is used in the bedding and accessories you buy. Down offers superior insulation and warmth, which is particularly useful in light of rising oil prices. Simply turn down your thermostat and curl up with a down comforter or throw to keep toasty warm!
