Unfortunately, the "Feather Allergy" myth still persists. Whilst it is possible for a person to be truly allergic to feathers the majority of those who appear to be allergic to feather are, in fact, allergic to the excretions of the house dust mite. A poorly constructed pillow could lead to dust mites finding their way inside and this is where the alleged "feather allergy" stems from.

As long as your feather/down product has a downproof (tightly woven) casing and the feathers/down are washed and treated properly before filling dust mites will not be able to infiltrate the product. All Cotton Traders cc down & feather products are 100% hypo-allergenic.

We also regularly regularly test our products with the Featherite M.I.D. Free Laboratory (check for the Featherite M.I.D. Free symbol on feather and down products in your nearest bedding retailer).
