Down is a type of feather that was used in various (fancy) bedding and clothes. Nowadays synthetic options are significantly more common and anything with real down feathers is quite expensive.

And real down is also extremely cruel. Just sayin’

Oh. That actually explains a lot (uses to hear the term "down feather" as a kid every now and then)

IMO, real down only remains necessary for stuff like backpacking, because it's lighter and packs smaller than any synthetic of comparable insulation amount. Unless you need that, synthetic is better.
