HOW ARE DOWN & FEATHERS PROCESSED?
Down and feathers are carefully washed with special processes, rinsed, dried, and then separated into different grades by blowing. The drafts from a machine send the best down drifting up to the highest bins, to be graded as the finest quality. Down of lesser quality floats into middle bins, and feathers, because they are much heavier, fall into the bottom bins. This entire process must be properly done, in order to permanently eliminate odors, and to ensure permanent lofting of the down.
