I hope the maker knows since, if they were looking for warmth, it does the trick.

very very soft and it has no sharp feathers poking through, so I would highly approve this product to anyone.

No china.and it isnt goose down. It is just regular poly filled. Misinterpreted information.

I understood that statement to mean the goose feathers & down are treated with a solution that protects against bacteria etc. So yes, the fill is goose feathers & down. We love our down pad. One of the best items I have ever purchased. We flip it often & cover it with a padded mattress cover. Hope this helps!

I would like to know that answer to this question as well. Protect the golden goose and take our product down.

Jeanie, I can see where White Goose Down Alternative could be confusing but that Alternative word means that something other than goose down is used in the construction/materials of the comforter. 100-Percent Hypo-allergenic means that there are zero ( 0 ) chances out 100 tries (let's call them nights of sleep) that you would be allergenic to the materials in the comforter. Right after that on the same line is says Allergy Free Poly Fiber. Poly fiber is made from Polyester which doesn't cause or contribute to allergies. So there you have it, by reading the description in the listing we can see that there are no feathers used in the construction of this comforter.

Sorry, don't remember. It was a thicker, sturdy material though. Don't have it anymore. Didn't last a single season for me. Had some high winds in the early fall, blew it over the yard and it bent up the frame too much to keep using it. Don't know if I should blame myself for not taking it down, or poor game material. Sorry, hope that helps. It was pretty awesome while it lasted.

Yes, the super soft white goose down can be used as a comforter. It looks very expensive and very fluffy. I love the way it looks.

Also of note, I think down is not machine washable, where the alternative usually is.

These pillows are goose down, not the same a full feathers. Down pillows, comforters and the like are always softer and extremely less like to have a feather escape. I've had these pillows for aprox 2 weeks now and no evidence of any of the down poking thru. Very very comfortable pillows.

Have to agree with the other answers, I did get a 7lb goose in mine, but I made a Stainless Steel expander rib that added 4" in height to the unit. Smoked just as good as before.

If you give them a call, All About Down can make any weight (ounces of goose down fill) that you want. They offer light, medium (on Amazon), supportive, and firm. All the pillows weights still have some give and can be made softer or firmer at any time. An email is generally sent out when people order just to let them know they have several options.

I purchased Super Soft Goose Down Alternative Comforter sold by extravagant luxury discount via Amazon last year when I purchased the duvet. It's fluffy but if you want it really fluffy it's all in the insert/Comforter.

No. It is not made of down. It is a down alternative. Much better for my allergies and I couldn't be happier with the softness and comfort! :) Hope this helps!

Here are some facts I found, as we had the same question. Fill power The higher the fill power, the better the quality of down. Fill power is the space, in cubic inches, that 1 ounce of down fills. Down with high fill power is made of larger, stronger clusters from mature geese. These clusters fill more space with less weight, providing loftier down that's more breathable and durable. Fill power of 500 is good. Between 500 to 600+ is considered excellent. Fill weight This measures the actual mass of down in ounces. The heavier the weight, the warmer the comforter. But always keep in mind fill power. For example, a lightweight comforter with high fill power can be warmer than a heavy comforter with low fill power. I called the seller and found out that all 3 comforters have a different weight in ounces...even though they are not stated on the item description. He said he has 3 levels, ranging from 24oz (Queen) through 36oz.

It's heavier than synthetic. The natural goose down will keep you warm without overheating. Everyone loves it.

The geese are bred, raised, and well taken care of just for the purpose of harvesting their down and feathers for duvets which is actually done by hand. The birds are protected in these regions and are not harmed in any way and under a "no kill" rule which makes it safer and animal friendly. The colder the region the more down the geese are going to have in order to protect them from the natural elements. This is why Hungarian down comforters are the most expensive yet they yield the finest quality and amount of down and feathers. A misconception that is very common is that the heavier the down comforter the more warmth it will produce. The opposite is actually true in this case. The more down which is lighter weight than feathers actually produces more warmth so don't buy a down comforter just based on its weight.
