As mentioned in a previous post the price of a down comforter would increase dramatically by the fall of this year due to rising commodity ( goose down, cotton )  costs  and shortages due to increasing world market.

Sadly I must convey to you the bad news.  The prices are on the rise already ( as much as 30 – 50 % ) on some items.  As present inventories decrease to be replaced by new stock,  the price of the new inventory will be passed along to the consumer.

Happily for the consumer old inventories of down comforters and cotton bed linens still remain at the all-time low costs that have been available for the last couple of years.

If you have been thinking about purchasing  new cotton bedding and/or a down comforter now is the time to purchase – the old prices will not last much longer . All good things have to end and such is the case here.

Price Increases Loom for Down Comforters

Are you putting off your final decision to acquire a down comforter?

I can easily recognize the reason why you delayed your purchase– in fact I had been sitting on the fence, postponing purchasing a new down bed comforter until the fall – what with the economic climate and all. So I can certainly relate with your reluctance to purchase right now.

But I read a new press release this weekend which should make our choices easier….

The price of a down bed comforter will dramatically rise by the autumn of this year

And Get This – By this time next year your down bed comforter could cost you a whopping Twenty to Fifty Percent extra !

Sometimes you and I realize delay is costly. But you can easily take advantage of our knowledge in addition to save ourselves money in the end.

Yet being conscious of this is certainly welcome information for us – especially given that we were currently seriously considering purchasing a down comforter .

But exactly why this alarming price increase? Haven’t prices for down bed comforters been the cheapest they’ve been for many years?

3 aspects will be to blame for this kind of price jump

1. Emerging new economies. Currently there is an ever growing Chinese domestic interest in down filled comforters.

2. Higher commodity prices. The existing spot market prices with regard to duck down, goose down, and cotton down-proof shells – the 3 primary elements for any down bed comforter – have significantly improved Ten To Fifty Percent in the past couple of months.

3. Global economy. The economic climate is thankfully improving, however with this will come rising demand for high-class items – down comforters included.

Warning: Don’t wait. Buying a down bed comforter will certainly cost you much more 6 months from now
