How to Buy a Down Comforter That Doesn’t Smell

All down comforters are not created equal. You can buy one that will have an odor for years, despite cleaning; or you can buy one that smells good to begin.
 
Hypoallergenic DownHigh quality down comforters usually undergo a thorough cleaning process at the down processing plant. This sterilizes the down and removes the smell. But some down and feathers have not been cleaned as well, and make a down comforter that smells bad.
 
When you shop at a local retail store you have the product in your hands. You can just smell it. If there is an unpleasant down comforter odor, then the cleaning process was probably not very thorough.
 
But when you shop online, how do you know if your comforter is cleaned and odor free?
 
If you have a sensitive nose, and you want to buy an odor free goose down comforter, pillow, or blanket, then you want down bedding that is hypoallergenic. Hypoallergenic down and feathers have been cleaned according to the highest standards. They are better for allergy sufferers, and they create a pleasing sleep environment.
