Here are two of these common myths: “I need a comforter that will work for all seasons,Why Choose a Down Comforter? Articles but down comforters only work in the winter.” and “I’m allergic to down and can’t buy it.” These two myths will be busted in this article, which will leave you with a better understanding of why a down comforter is right for you!

What is down? Down is the soft undercoating of a bird.  What down is not, is feathers.  Feathers have a hard, crunchy, and uncomfortable quill, which is not found in down.  Since there is no quill in the down, products made out of down feel soft, fluffy, and very comfortable to cuddle up with!  It is quite wonderful to crawl under the covers of a warm down comforter on bitterly cold, winter days.  Down comforters are also wonderful for keeping you nice and cool on warm summer nights!  On birds, the down is close to the skin and keeps the animal warm and comfortable in the winter and cool and relaxed in the summer.  If down can be so wonderful for birds, then why wouldn’t it do the same for us?

Many people believe they are allergic to down; therefore they will not buy it.  Instead of being allergic to the actual down, most people are allergic to the dust and dirt that is found in the down.  Make sure to read the descriptions of the down comforter that you are considering, because many of them may be allergy-free, just for you!  The down used in these allergy-free comforters has been cleaned, eliminating the dust and dirt causing you trouble.  Another perk of buying a hypoallergenic down comforter is that since all of the dirt and dust has been eliminated, it helps your comforter to stay lofty and fluffy.  The dirt is no longer weighing it down!

Who doesn’t want to sleep more comfortably?  If you have never tried a down comforter before, you are in for a relaxing treat!  What are you waiting for?  Now is the time for a change, and what better way to do that than making your stage of comfort more comfortable?  Don’t wait and let that old, heavy quilt be in the way anymore.  Get comfortable tonight!
