Quilts

Down quilts, also known as down comforters or duvets, are blankets filled with down feathers from ducks or geese. These quilts are known for their warmth, softness, and light weight, making them popular bedding choices for cold weather. The down feathers trap heat and keep the body warm without adding bulk, allowing for a more comfortable and restful sleep.

When shopping for a down quilt, there are a few things to consider:

1. Fill power: This is a measurement of the loft, or fluffiness, of the down. The higher the fill power, the more warmth the quilt will provide. A fill power of 600-700 is considered good, while a fill power of 800 or higher is excellent.

2. Fill weight: This refers to the amount of down used in the quilt. A heavier fill weight will provide more warmth, but may also be more bulky.

3. Material: The material of the quilt's outer shell can affect its durability, comfort, and price. 

4. Care: Down quilts require special care to maintain their loft and warmth. They should be fluffed and aired out regularly, and may need to be professionally cleaned to avoid clumping or damage.
