NEW YORK - The American Down and Feather Council has created a series of information sheets called "Factzzz on Down and Feathers" to help consumers make informed purchasing decisions.
     The first three topics cover tips on purchasing down and feather, why down and feather is good for allergy sufferers and how down and feather bedding can help provide a better night's sleep.
   The information sheets are available for free download on the home page of the ADFC website at www.downandfeather. org.
     Each fact sheet also features an explanation of the ADFC Labeling Compliance Program (LCP), which assures the consumer that the product meets all state and federal requirements as well as industry standards for content, cleanliness and compliance.
     "We created the fact sheets to inform consumers about the beneficial qualities of down and feather bedding and to work as a shopping aid," said Steven Palmer, president of the American Down and Feather Council. "But actually, our members and anyone who sells down and feather bedding is welcome to download these for consumer events and trade shows."
