Is Down Eco-Friendly?
How Green is Down?

Carbon Footprint 
Down and feathers have the lowest carbon footprint of any other fill material, both natural and synthetic.

Biodegradable
Along with the cotton cover, the entire down comforter is quickly biodegradable. Conserve

Resources 
Down and feathers are by-products of the food industry. The material would otherwise go to landfills.

Energy Savings
A good down comforter allows you to lower the thermostat at night while you sleep, saving energy and money.

Lightweight
Down is nearly as light as air. It is the lightest, most efficient insulation.

Natural 
Down and feathers are natural materials from geese and ducks.

Renewable
Unlike most synthetics which are made from non-renewable oil, down and feathers are renewable resources.

Safe 
Modern sterilization processes make down clean and safe from all harmful dust and bacteria. Downproof fabrics make down products more resistant to dust mite problems than some synthetic products.

Warm 
Warmth ratings comparing down to other filling materials show that down is superior to all other fillings in insulation per gram of material.
