To add to this, true 1000 thread count sheets are heavy weight and don't breath well, meaning you'll get real sweaty and uncomfortable. I have one made by "pure down" that is excellent.

No "down proof" fabric is going to breathe well. In order to make the fabric impenetrable to feathers, they make it unbreathable.

The way I think this one works is the duvet is divided into multiple sections, each section has down encased within a down proof sachet. The surrounding borders of each section are breathable while the down retains heat, resulting in a breathable duvet that doesn't leak feathers.

*edit: which now that I think of it, must be why the duvet crackles sort of loudly when you move it.
