<p>My daughter recently purchased what I thought was a great down comforter from Bed, Bath and Beyond. It was marked down about 60% plus she used a 20% off coupon. It was a heavy weight, 500 thread count, 45 oz. white goose down with a 20 year warranty. It now seems that some of the fluff is leaking though and she said it is all over her duvet which is a dark color.</p>
<p>Is there some sort of cover she can put over the comforter, before putting the duvet on that will keep the feathers/down from coming through? I don’t do down, so I am not that familiar with what would be best. I would think with the original price of this comforter that the down should not be coming through. My daughter also has a down comforter here at home and we have never had a problem like this.</p>
<p>Any suggestions at to what product to buy and were to buy it? She doesn’t want to spend a lot, but also doesn’t like waking up to down in her mouth!</p>
<p>Since it has a 20 year warranty, just return it.</p>
<p>I’m convinced they all do that as the down eventually pokes its way between the threads. I double and triple checked for tears or holes and never find them, just the down stuck to the inside of the duvet cover. I finally decided a few years ago to just double duvet :-). Everyone in my family has down comforters so whenever I come across cheap neutral white or ivory duvet covers I snap them up, put the down comforter inside the neutral duvet and put that into the actual “bed” duvet. I’ve never had a problem with the down coming through the actual duvet, just “stuck to the inside of the duvet cover” but I can imagine not enjoying get a down feather in my mouth in the middle of the night!</p>
<p>Not all of them do. My mother has down comforters from when I was a child and they are all in pristine shape in spite of my brothers kicking them during their years of use. Not a feather has come through. We did not even have duvets for them in our day, and had to use a flat sheet sandwich to protect it.</p>
<p>The solution, by the way, might be more expensive than the comforter itself. Certain Egyptian cotton batiste products are pretty down proof. Google down proof covers for some ideas on where to get a duvet in that fabric. Also look at some sites that sell products for folks that have allergies. They may have covers that are feather/down proof.</p>
<p>We do not want to return the comforter as it was such a good price; but maybe there was a reason for that!</p>
<p>I have seen a zipper cover at BB&B that is $79 for a king; the ones that are made for allergies are even more. I guess because her duvet is dark she is noticing the down; but she is seeing it on the outside, so it looks like there is lint on her bed.</p>
