What kind of bedding to use?

[Guest guest]

Hi all -- long-time lurker here . . .

What do you all recommend for bedding, specifically comforters? My PPD-

NOS, Feingold-sensitive son has a down comforter, and I was wondering

about allergens, dust mites, etc. The salesperson at Bed Bath and

Beyond said that the allergen problem is with *feather* comforters

because of dander, etc., but that down comforters are fine. True or

not? Am I better off getting the anti-allergen synthetic stuff? or is

there any possibility of releasing chemicals from the synthetic filling?

My son isn't specifically reacting to his comforter -- but I just want

to reduce the load on his system any way possible.

Thanks!
