Advice on Selecting a Down Comforter

from the American Down and Feather Council:

Learn how down is labeled

When purchasing a down comforter, be sure to read the label. Federal and State regulations require that any product labeled as a down comforter have a minimum of 75% down. All others are considered a down and feather blend. Also note the fill power number; this is used to measure the insulating power of the down used. 550 is an adequate fill power number but the higher the better. Seek out comforters with more down and higher fill numbers to keep yourself warm.

Check out the Insulation Quality

Fill power measures the insulating ability of down comforters. Comforters with high fill power will keep you warmer with less weight.

Choose a Construction Type

Construction of the comforter impacts on its overall comfort and durability. In a comforter, look for sewn-through boxes or baffle box construction. In those that are sewn-through, the top and bottom fabric are stitched together, preferably in a box pattern. Baffle box construction features three dimensional boxes created with strips of fabric. Both of these construction types prevent shifting of the filling, keeping you warm and cozy. Also make sure that the seams are sturdy.

Make sure the Products are Downproof

To keep the down and feathers from leaking out or "downproof", the product’s shell should have a thread count of at least 230. Higher thread counts are not necessarily better, but it takes a minimum of 230 to be considered downproof.
