My down comforter originally came from Penney's and my Mom sent it years ago. I wash it in the tub with a soap meant for washing down, and dry it low in the dryer with a couple of shoes to thump it around a bit.

I love sleeping under down - when it's cold in the house (I don't use much heat at night here, I rely on the covers to stay warm) the down comforter, on a bed made with a sheet and a thermal blanket (to help keep the comforter in place) means I'm warm almost as soon as I climb under the covers. I also get tired of the weight of several blankets on my feet, though when I was a kid I didn't mind it.

This time of year, when it's warm one day and cold the next, I have the down nearby, and if it turns cold, I pull off the quilt and put on the down, instead of piling on more blankets.

Take a look at LL Bean.
