Do the feathers in the bedding cause allergic reactions?
Feathers themselves do not cause allergic reactions; allergies are a reaction to the dust that accumulates in feather or down bedding that has not been properly shaken or aired. Down pillows and comforters should be shaken and aired in the shade for half an hour each week. They should not be exposed to direct sun, which can damage both feathers and down. Although the care tags indicate items may be machine washed and tumbled dry, this should be done only when absolutely necessary, as it can cause deterioration of feathers and down. The sterilization of the feathers before the product is manufactured is equally important. The sterilization process is closely related to the quality and price of the end product. The comforters and pillows offered by SWISS SLEEP SYSTEM® are of the highest quality and are guaranteed to meet the strictest standards of sanitary and quality control.
