    If you don't mind me asking ... How much was the 4 pound bag, and what was the feather percentage?

    Getting around to using this rf down I bought from Amazon. Made a couple of diy pillows.

    The down in the 1lb bag I got is very good. It's all down with very few feathers.



    I put a little over two ounces in each of three pillows and the loft is great. Responds very quickly after being compressed. I may have gotten lucky, but I wish I would have bought more at the time.

    I know some folks got a bad batch, but I was highly impressed with the quality of what I received. I think I paid right at thirty dollars for the lb.

    Can I get some more??

    This what I bought. Looks to have more than doubled in price. Still worth it if it is the same quality.

    I'm presently on a second order from Rose Feather. It was super compressed in it's shipping pillow case and shrink wrap for over a year and a half, until a project came along to use it. The pillow case is the best way for me to get a little bit out at a time, and save the rest for later. (just do down stuffing out doors) Rose Feather down has been as good as the expensive down costing $8 an ounce. And lofts up perfectly well, even though compressed tight as a brick, for so long. I have some doubts about "down compression anxiety".
    Since I retired, some times I stay awake all day, some times all night.
