It's Time to Get Down with Down

What would you do if I told you that I found the solution to world peace? Because I think I did… if everyone had a Pillow Guy goose down comforter to go to sleep with every night, we would come pretty darn close. One should never under estimate the power of a good night’s sleep- and that’s exactly what you’ll get with a dreamy down comforter.

If there is one thing you splurge on this season, or any other winter season, it should be a good down comforter. While I would love to tell you that you should be splurging on some lavish décor item, I consider myself a practical designer. Comfort comes first and if you know what you’re doing, comfort and style can be a package deal.. but that’s a topic for another day, today is all about comfort, so let’s get comfy.

Down comforters are way comfier than your average comforter (say that five times fast) because while being light weight, they’re ridiculously warm and oh-so fluffy. Here are what I believe to be some of the most important factors to consider when purchasing your next down comforter: (it goes without saying that my choice, Pillow Guy, checks all of the boxes)

1. 100% Certified Responsible Down Standard- It’s important to know that geese were not subjected to any unnecessary harm in the making of your down comforter. Ethics and good sleep go hand in hand.

2. 700 Fill Power- Fill power (or loft ) is the quality and size of down clusters and can be defined by its ability to  regain original volume after being compressed during shipping, storage or use. The higher the fill power, the greater ability to insulate and provide warmth.

3. Hypoallergenic Goose Down- Pillow Guy down is Allergen-free! Sounds impossible but can be done with the right technology. Bye bye down alternative!  The down that goes into Pillow Guy comforters and pillows undergoes rigorous cleaning and testing to ensure it’s free of chemicals and irritants.

4. Down Proof Shell- What good is a down comforter if those sneaky little feathers find their way out.  The shell of your comforter should be strong and durable, yet have a comfortable thread count (pillow guys is 400 tc).

5. Baffle Box Construction- This structure consists of compartments filled with the perfect amount of down, rather than one loose, open structure.  This ensures that the down is spread out evenly and doesn’t shift, resulting in a perfect, warm sleep for you!

Now that you’re more comfortable with your comforter knowledge, there’s one last thing to consider- a duvet cover. I’m a firm believer when it comes to the school of thought that less is more. At least when we’re talking about duvet covers. A simple, solid colored duvet cover is the perfect, timeless choice that allows you the flexibility to have more fun with other decorative elements in your room, such as throw pillows and blankets.

Pillow Guy makes it super simple with their quality duvet cover sets that come in a range of solid, neutral colors. It doesn’t get much more fool proof than this when it comes to picking the right duvet cover. If only everything in life was this easy!

Now you can rest assured, the best sleep of your life is just a click away. What are you waiting for?
