Am I really allergic to feather and down?
What about my Asthma?

Chances are that you're NOT allergic to feather and down itself. But you DO probably suffer from an allergy of the natural oils and bacterial components found in these fills that have not been cleansed properly. Perhaps you may even suffer from some of the chemicals commonly used in efforts to eradicate this problem. 

NOW, allergy and asthma sufferers DO NOT have to deprive themselves of the luxury and comfort of feather and down filled products. The result of our unique cleaning process ensures a top-hygienic product safe for people suffering from allergies and asthma. Only the highest of standards are practiced by our manufacturing facility and are certified Oeko-Tex 100/1000 compliant. 

What About house Dust Mites?

Beds of a Feather Ltd. only sells NOMITE® certified quilts and pillows. The NOMITE® certification assures that bedding articles displaying the mark fit for house dust mite allergy sufferers. Because down and feather filled products offer excellent thermal and climatic conditions (a rapid warming up while one is sleeping, rapid decrease in the bed's humidity if the room is aired regularly) this provides a poor habitat for the house dust mite that relies on high humidity to life.  

Your additional protection is the tight weave of the down-proof fabric, which works as a barrier preventing the house dust mites from penetrating the fabric. 

So people suffering from the dust mite allergy may fully enjoy the warmth and comfort of our down and/or feather filled duvets and pillows.
