Have you
ever bought a pillow or a cushion only to ask yourself, “what kind of down is in this?”
There is a difference between down and down alternative; it all depends on how
much you are willing to spend on the material and how comfortable you want the
soft product to be. Here are some of the differences between real down and down
alternative.
Down is
great for being naturally insulating without being heavy – perfect for comforters and outdoors clothing. It is also ideal for pillows because they are
soft and very comfortable, something that is not common with down alternatives.
With a variety of types, down provides you with different levels of comfort, weight and
warmth. Pillows that are made with down tend to last longer because it is easy
to fluff them up and get them back to their previous condition. However, you do
have to have down materials dry-cleaned so that it can stay in pristine
condition.
Down alternatives are cheaper than
the feather down. It might be a good alternative for people that suffer from
allergies because they are filled with cotton, polyester or tweed. However,
they do not last as long as down and tend to get flat very quickly and you
cannot fluff them up the same way you can with a down soft product.
You are able to wash and dry down
alternative in regular washer and dryers, giving you an easier cleaning
solution for the product. People that need support in their neck or back can
benefit greater from down alternative because it offers better support than
down does.
