What is the difference between Pacific Coast ® down and Pacific Coast ® feathers?
Down–The soft insulating cluster found on the breast of geese and ducks. Unlike feathers which have a quill, down is a plume and has no hard elements. There is no difference in quality between white and gray goose down. Feathers–The actual feathers on geese and ducks—as opposed to the soft cluster of down found on the breast—are durable and springy, making them an essential support element in featherbeds and medium and firm pillows.
