A Down Bedding Comforter is the Key to Restful Night’s Sleep!

A little known fact about insomnia is that is for the most part caused by an elevation in body temperature throughout the night. For this reason it is important when tucking yourself into bed at night to use both heavy and light layers (sheet, blanket, quilt) of bedding that will allow you to easily adjust to heat as throughout the night as you sleep.

How Do Down Beddings Help Regulate Temperature?

More than any other type, down bedding helps you regulate your temperature. Firstly, the down comforter will allow moisture to pass easily away from your sleeping body, which prevents chills. Secondly, the down allows heat to pass away from your body quickly when your body temperature rises. Seeing as how the down comforter naturally regulates fluctuations in temperature throughout the night for both cold and hot sleep is easy to understand that an individual would have their best sleep while in down beddings.

Concerned about Allergies and Downed Bedding?

Often times the feathers and raw down used in producing the down beddings can cause allergies in people. Hypoallergic (super clean) tests are now done in order to verify that the down will not cause allergies in individuals. In order to receive the hypoallergic stamp of approval they must receive a sterilization permit if their down is to beused for bedding. A hypoallergenic down comforter has an oxygen number of 4.8 or less with a turbidity rate of 500mm or more (oxygen number determines the amount of foreign mantter found on the surface of the feathers and down while turbidity determines the amount of dust in the products). In order for the down style bedding to become ‘hypoallergenic’ they must pass those aforementioned tests. So if you suffer from allergies from down look for the hypoallergenic down products.
