Merchandise Spotlight: Down Comforters

The Company Store’s goose down comforter is an exclusive. Offered in the May 2000 catalog, the company presents it as “supersized,” about 14˝ larger than other comforters. It provides four types of comforters, each with different types of feathers as fill materials. It also offered myriad fill powers (the amount of fill in cubic inches per ounce), baffles (pockets where fill is sewn in), and stitchery (the design used for the baffles).
