Thanks for the information! I’ll definitely go for down now

How do you learn

So they don’t degrade? Since it is feathers from an animal I’d think they would unless they are treated in some way. How long can they last then?

If you want your place to be stylish, I would advise finding a designer. My GF is one, so I’m probably biased, but from from a sustainable standpoint if you get good pieces now you won’t be wanting to upgrade in a few years when you realize you want your place to look good (if your like me you don’t care about that bc I didn’t until my late 20s) so you’ll buy less overall. If you can’t afford that rn then I would advise buying used from FB marketplace. Then it’s not a big deal to upgrade bc you didn’t contribute to the new manufacturing of stuff and you can resell for minimal loss if it was quality and didn’t degrade. But don’t be afraid to pay up! Look for better materials when buying used. Real wood, real leather, less plastic/mdf etc.

I initially thought down comforters would be more sustainable than the synthetic fill ones, but then I read that the down degrades after maybe 5-10 years. Those who own them is that true? If that’s the case the synthetic ones seem like they’d last longer
