Goose Down Comforter

The idea of snuggling up under a soft comforter is appealing. One type of comforter that is very comfortable for sleeping under all year round is a goose down comforter. These comforters can be used to stay warm in the winter. They are also manufactured in a lighter weight for use during the warmer months of the year. The down filling makes these comforters more comfortable than feather filled comforters. Comforters filled with feathers sometimes have sharp edges poking through them. Down, which is the fluffy feathers from a young bird, is softer than the feathers from an adult bird. Comforters filled with goose down are light and fluffy.

A goose down comforter can be purchased at department stores or stores that sell bedding and linens. This comforter is also available at some discount stores and from some online retailers. It may be possible to purchase one for less than one hundred dollars. Some of the high end comforters sell for as much as nine hundred dollars. The comforters can be purchased in different sizes. They are sold in different fill powers. The fill power is the measure of the amount of volume an ounce of down is taking up in the comforter. Comforters with a higher fill power are considered to be better quality.


A goose down comforter can be washed by hand, machine washed or dry cleaned. Comforters should be machine washed on the delicate cycle and dried on a low setting. They should not be ironed. Proper care of a down comforter will make it last longer.


Lying underneath a luxurious goose down comforter can help people enjoy a good night’s sleep.
