Down Comforter

Your sleep counts on the best possible bedding. Finding the ideal down comforter can be intimidating, but the process is actually quite simple. Follow the tips below to learn how to pick the perfect down comforter.

Instructions:

  1. Consider the fabric of the down comforter. Light linen bedding will help keep you cool while heavier cotton fabrics tend to lock in warmth.

  2. Look for the fill power of the comforter. Down comforters come with a fill power rating, which indicates the amount of filling contained in the comforter. A larger fill power means the comforter will be firmer and lock in more heat.

  3. Check the filling. Down comforters stuffed with adult geese feathers are usually much fluffier and typically lock in much more heat. For a lighter comforter and cooler sleep, look for baby geese feathers and light stuffing.

  4. Consider different designs. Certain comforters are designed specifically to avoid the shifting of stuffing. These comforters provide greater warmth, keeping the cold at bay on chilly nights. If you live in a warm climate, think about something light and loose.
