So polyester is considered down?

"Materials:
Shell ~ 100% Cotton
Fill ~ 100% Polyester"

The title says 75% Down Pillow but the description says "25% white goose down, 75% white goose feathers"

Can you please clarify what the down percentage is?

Thanks!

The polyester fill is a down alternative option for those that enjoy the soft luxury of down without the actual feathers and down

There is 25% Down and 75% feather. The feathers provide the firmness/support of the pillow while the down provides that soft warmth you look for.

Feather pillow is 75% feather and only 25% down.Feather pillows are heavier than down pillows and love to be scrunched up or folded into the perfect sleeping position either under your head, between your knees or behind your back. Since feather pillows contain feathers it is not uncommon for a feather or two to sneak their way out during all the scrunching and folding. Some say it's good luck when a feather pokes its way through and that you should make a wish.


Goose down pillows are made of down clusters which are much lighter and last longer than feathers. Down pillows have had the large feathers separated out during the sorting process and contain few if any feathers that would normally poke through a typical feather pillow. A down pillows quality is determined by the fill power of the down clusters used to make the pillow

Queen feather beds but no queen feather bed protectors?

What is the fill power on the down filled comforters?

Full/Queen Dimensions:

86" x 86"
Fill Weight: 32 Ounces

King Dimensions:

102" x 86"
Fill Weight: 42 Ounces

California King Dimensions:

106" x 94"
Fill Weight 42 Ounces

Been looking for a nice King Sized Down Comforter, is this a good quality/value? I only want something nice, but don't want to pay the high end price obviously. Anyone have a link to reviews of the "fall comforter" or an opinion of quality and value. Much thanks in advance.

I saw the specs but that is the fill weight, not the fill power. Fill power is a number in the hundreds, usually between 500-800. Do you know what the fill power number is?

Looking at the Specs for the Feather Bed Protectors, it appears there is no protector for the California King size, and that you've mislabled the King and California King, as the sizes listed for them are Queen size and King size.

Is that true? Do you not have a protector for the California King?

You have to remove your arms to snuggle up under the Kalifornia King discomforter. And, yes, there is no protection from Kalifornia Kings. ;-P

I got the Fieldcrest house brand comforter from Target last year. It's pretty warm and has hardly leaked any down, although I use a duvet cover. Moreover, it's nicer quality and the cloth is softer than others I checked out at Bed Bath & Beyond and Sears. The fill weight is similar to the Fall Down Comforter sold here and the price is nearly half of it.

What is the fill power NOT fill wieght?

The difference is the ones sold at Target are duck down, these are goose down. Goose down is a better fill as it retains more heat. I hope they are 100% goose down and not a mix or a down feather mix like the pillows. Maybe Thunderthighs can chime in before I buy 2 for my daughters

Wow, these are really short. Everyone in bed has their feet sticking out!

Hi, could I get info on the ounces of fill in the pillows please? Specifically the 50%/50%

ThunderThighs wrote:We asked the manufacturer about the Fill Power. They gave a nice explanation with some extra info so I'm just going to paste it here.


Fill Power is the standard that measures the number of cubic inches filled by an ounce of down. The more space an ounce of down takes up, the more warmth it provides.  This is because the more space it occupies the more air it entraps. (And it is the air that provided the warmth.)
 
Our products fall into a range of 550-650 fill power. We pride ourselves on the overall construction and feel of our products as opposed to a specific fill power. The number of ounces we use and the type of construction  (down proof cotton, german cotton piped edges, etc) we find are a more accurate test of a quality product.

The comforter is one thing but I sleep way better on my recently discovered memory foam pillow I got on the cheap. Better support, head doesn't get hot, don't have to keep flipping the pillow and I don't toss and turn as much, no feathers

@woot.. I ordered the Feather bed and the protector.. The protector for the cal king says $50, however i was only charged $45.. Just want to ensure i am getting what i ordered still (Cal King Featherbed & Cal King Featherbed Protector..)

I Just noticed the specs..
California King Size Featherbed is 72" x 84"
Cal King Size Featherbed protector is 78" x 80" (Those are king size dimensions though)

Is there a typo, or did you just sell me a cal king featherbed with a King size protector??

King Size:

No the Target one is goose down:

Great reviews and I'm pretty happy with it. The down is evenly distributed through the baffles, it has a good amount of fill, and is very soft and the cover is smooth.

I have only seen duck down in pillows, all comforters I've ever seen are goose down.

Sorry, didn't see the Fieldcrest line. When I went to Target's web and did a search for down comforters this is what came up and they are all duck down.

The one you linked to looks nice though.

I've gotten annoyed with most King comforters because they don't really have enough coverage for a King sized bed--especially with people in the bed. I solved the problem by buying two twins that way there's no fighting over the covers--everyone has enough. I recently got twin comforters from Ikea. They are two weights that snap together for cold weather and then give two options for lighter weight (one is a "1" and the other is a "3"). These are so comfy and warm that we've been able to keep the thermostat at 59 F at night.
