Generally, the down fill that is used in better quality comforters is harvested from free range, white Canadian or Hungarian geese. The goose down itself is white and is the soft under coat of the fowl that is very soft and doesn't have the prickly qualities of mature feather.

The down-proof shell that many good quality comforters have, are also thinner because of the high thread count that is necessary to keep the fine down inside the fabric. A high thread count is 900 or more, which makes it easier for the shell to tear or rip if you aggressively spot clean it.
