Welcome to my GD thread.

A down comforter is possibly the best kind of blanket EVER made.
What is a down comforter?
It's a large, soft sack filled with these

These comforters can range from 50 dollars for a shitty one, or around 100-200 for a nice one. I'm sure there are more expensive ones.
You can most likely pick one of these up at your equivilant of JC penny or Macys in whatever country you live in.
Well enjoy this thread.
I like down feathers. :downs:
They're comfy till they poke through the sheet and shank you
I fucking hate Down Pillows. I had the end of a Feather in my eye once.
:iiam:
I did have one until it decided to rip open in the washing machine
Yeah I hate it when the ends poke through.

hmmhmm :q:
There's a difference between a "down" and "feather". Cheaper down comforters generally have a lot more feathers in them than down and the pointy things are actually feathers, not down. A decent quality down comforter should never poke you. A down pillow with a feather core probably will poke you as it ages and the feather core begins to be interspersed with the down, making it to the edge of the pillow and thus poking you. I've been using down comforters for about 18 years now and I can't say that I've ever been poked by one before.
One really good and practical use of a down comforter hasn't been mentioned. Even though they're more expensive than your average comforter, they do last longer and they're significantly warmer, so you don't have to keep your thermostat up quite so high. It may be a bit more money to fork over at first, but they more than pay for themselves with reduced heating costs.
My parents have one with goose feathers. It's amazingly comfortable, but a bit too warm.
Down is for sleep casuals.
Sleeping bag, motherfuckers, practicality and warmth.
Can you take your bed anywhere?

That's most likely a chick, it's not like they stole the feathers from it, it just doesn't have any yet.
I have a down comforter, but I will never again get a down pillow. I bought a memory foam pillow a month ago, and It's the most comfortable thing on earth. Never going back.
Doesn't everyone have these?
In norway i've never seen a bed without a feather filled "dyne".
(I have two, one for the cold winter season and one slightly lighter one for the summer.)
