Down Buyers Guide

You should consider your purchase of a down comforter as an investment. While polyester-filled products will lose much of their lofting and insulating ability after a relatively short time, a well-cared-for down comforter or pillow from The Company Store may last a lifetime. The following are questions and answers you should consider before you buy:

Why 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.
