Duvets for Allergens

People with asthma, allergies and other respiratory conditions can ease nighttime congestion and suffering by using hypoallergenic duvets and comforters. Companies such as Ogallala, SmartSilk and Pacific Coast produce comforters and duvets with high-quality down and down-alternative fills designed to give you a solid night of sleep without bothersome allergies. The fill in each comforter is contained within high-thread-count fabrics that keep dust mites, dirt and allergens out and down and other fills in.
  1. Ogallala Hypodown Comforters and Duvets

    • The Ogallala Comfort Company in Ogallala, Nebraska, makes a series of fine down comforters filled with Hypodown, which is a patented blend of four parts white goose down and one part Syriaca clusters from the locally grown Syriaca milkweed plant. "Achoo Allergy" reports that Hypodown duvets are allergy-free due to the ability of the Syriaca clusters to trap and suppress allergens found in standard goose down. Ogallala guarantees its comforters to be allergy free, or the company will give you your money back. Ogallala duvets range from the ultrathin Southernlite Hypodown 600 twin size for warm weather at $257 to the Empress Hypodown 800 Arctic Super King size for $2,309. These prices are current as of July 2010.
