Why Did We Make This Website?

The fact is that the market for down alternatives is growing due to a combination of growing awareness of dust mite allergens that can thrive in down fill, and the low cost and high benefit of its alternatives. Despite the yearly expansion of the market and continued developing interest in this class of home bedding products, information is difficult to come by. This is due in no small part to the jargon of the various synthetic fills, the lack of industry standards in pricing synthetic materials, and the myriad differences between natural and synthetic down alternatives that make it difficult for the consumer to have a fair and balanced view of this market.
