The pricing of down comforters is fixed based on the type and quality of the down, measured in ounce, and the quantity filled every cubic inch of the comforter. Cheap down comforters are offered by many comforters manufacturing companies in addition to their more expensive brands. The prices vary from as low as $25 to $100, mainly depending on the quality of the down used and the fill power.
Low quality or less processed downs may be used in the making of cheap comforters. The mixing ratio of feathers and downs may vary, and the thread count of the materials used to make the comforter is less durable. The stitching patterns are paralleled to the costs, which may wear out fast and allow the feathers and down to leak through the covers. The materials used may also be of low quality in order to maintain the overall cost. The comfort and warmth may not be long lasting, as the down and feathers do not stay in place due to poor stitching patterns. Hygienic aspects cannot be guaranteed, as the quality of down and materials are compromised. The grade of the down used is the most important element in the comforter. Though most manufacturers claim prime down of the best quality, they may actually use cheaper grade down filling. The cheap quality down or feathers can be identified by squeezing the comforter with your hands to feel the sharp quills that can penetrate the shell fabric.
Some cheap down comforters have the recommended stitching pattern such as baffle channel construction with cross-quilting to keep the down in place to prevent shifting, but the stitching may be made from low quality threads that wear out fast. In spite of these unfavorable factors, cheap down comforters are popular, as this type of comforter is best suited for short-term use and disposal. Online orders are accepted free of packing and shipping charges, and some companies allow returns and replacements as sales competitive measures.
