Comforters made from “Hypodown”, synthetics, llama and alpaca wool, or silk are known as alternative down comforters.  They are often superior to traditional down comforters especially for those who are allergic to goose down feathers.  Alternative down comforters made from synthetic materials such as “White Cloud” simulate the look and feel of down.  Those made of synthetic material are lightweight, warm, luxurious, and machine washable.  Comforters made from alpaca and llama wool or silk are also alternatives to down comforters though not machine washable.
