Comforters

Comforters, down comforters, down Bedding, and down alternative bedding will make you feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud. When we first viewed the Venus Siberian down comforters they immediately went on all our staff’s gift list. Comforters made out of alternative materials provide just as much warmth and coziness as the real thing.

Thread

Thread count is also a sign of quality. Thread count is the number of threads that are contained in one square inch of fabric. The best down comforters will have a high fillpower and thread count. Down Comforters have thread counts that range from 180 to 500 threads per square inch. A good comforter is the very high quality hypoallergenic goose down comforter with 330 thread count long staple Egyptian cotton sateen fabric, and features satin piping around the edges. The main difference between this and the Venus comforter is that the Serenity comforter is covered with a 356 thread count German cotton sateen cover

Much to my surprise there are 4 different types of goose down on the market. There is Canadian Goose down and this is in the top of the line luxury comforters. there is also Hungarian Goose which is also a good fill. The last two are not of the best grade to use. They are the Polish Goose which, in some cases, are live plucked and the Chinese Goose which is one of the smallest domesticated geese, and their down and feathers are very brittle. Most of the cheaper goose down bedding on the market today has the Chinese Goose down on them
