Information on Down Comforters

Why Buy Down?

Down clusters are made up of light, fluffy filaments that expand and intertwine to form air pockets. These clusters trap air - nature's most effective insulator. That's what makes down so warm and light.

Since down "breathes," it naturally regulates warmth and wicks away moisture. Most synthetics, on the other hand, trap body heat and moisture so you wake up feeling clammy.

Fills and Materials

What is Fill Power?

All down is not the same. Down from larger, mature birds offers more insulating power and a better ability to loft. These features are reflected in a down's fill power which measures the volume an ounce of down takes up. The higher the fill power, the better the insulating ability of the down & more warmth with much less weight. So, when comparing down comforters, fill power is a good measure of warmth and quality.

The Company Store offers five types of down with varying fill powers. Your choice will depend on the climate, season and your sleeping preference.

• Good
  Our most affordable down choice. 500-550 Fill Power TCS^® Down provides soft, light warmth.
• Better
  Preferred for its large clusters and high loft, 500-550 Fill Power Goose Down provides superior warmth that's wonderfully lightweight.
• Best
  A higher-quality goose down with plump and resilient down clusters. 600-650 Fill Power Goose Down provides exceptional loft and warmth.
• Supreme
  Outstanding white goose down with the largest, most resilient clusters. 600-650 Fill Power Hungarian White Goose Down provides maximum warmth with minimal weight.
• Ultimate
  Our most luxurious down from select cold climate geese. 700-800 Fill Power Hungarian White Goose Down provides the warmest level with the lightest weight.

  What is the advantage of a Baffled Comforter?

  Baffles are vertical interior walls of fabric along the stitching line. Baffling gives down more room to fully loft. The Company Store uses baffled squares only in their baffled comforters. While they are more difficult to make than standard open-pattern baffling (the squares must be filled individually) it is the only way to ensure the down won't shift.

  
  What are the differences between Supersize and Traditional and Oversize?

  Traditional size comforters are just that, made to the traditional size standards. Their Supersize comforter is cut 4” wider and 10” longer on a Queen size compared to their Traditional size, and a generous 15” drop. This is ideal for deep or pillow-top mattresses. Their oversize comforters provide a solution for today's extra deep luxury mattresses. These comforters are 8” longer on Queen and 10” longer on supersize King.

  Warmth

  How do I choose a Warmth Level?

  Personal sleeping preference is the primary factor in selecting the right comforter warmth level, but use these general guidelines to help you choose:

  • Super Light Comfort - for warm climates, summer, or if you prefer a room temperature 74°F or above.
  • Light Comfort - for warmer seasons and climates, or when the room is 69°F to 74°F.
  • Medium Warmth - a good year 'round choice or if you keep the room at 65°F to 69°F.
  • Extra Warmth - a cozy choice from late fall to early spring and for rooms kept between 62°F to 65°F.
  • Ultra Warmth - for people who love toasty warmth during cold winters or if the room temperature is below 62°F.

  Down Care

  How do I care for my down comforter and pillows?

  When you first unpack your down comforter or pillow, it may appear wrinkled and flat. You can restore the natural loft by vigorously shaking or fluffing in your dryer on LOW.

  Air your new comforter or pillow out of direct sunlight, for a day or two before using for the first time and then every 3 to 6 months thereafter.

  With proper care, your down comforter or pillow will give you years of comfort. A comforter cover or pillow protector will extend its life even more.

  Comforter Cleaning: Hand wash or machine wash your down comforter separately, in a large tumble washer. Use WARM water and mild detergent on DELICATE (do not bleach). Made sure it's thoroughly rinsed before drying on LOW in a large-capacity dryer. You may need to gently steam the fabric shell of your comforter to remove stubborn wrinkles but NEVER IRON. If your prefer, have your down comforter professionally dry cleaned.
