We use down duvets, but I've wanted to get a few more Hungarian
goose down pillows (the BEST) - but have been put off at the
thought of bird flu. Do you suppose I'm silly?

HDG pillows are bliss. Incidentally, you can get a good reduction
on them by putting yourself on the mailing list of The White
Company, and waiting for their sale reductions+post free offers
which happen at least 4 times a year. They are washable/dryable in
domestic sized machines and come up like new (I've done it).In
between launderings, you can reduce dustmites by sealing the
pillows in an airtight plastic bag and putting them in the freezer.

Whee, mind at rest, I'm off to the White Company! We had a HGD duvet
(straight from Hungary); when it became too elderly (I won't even say
how old!) we composted it and replaced it with a regular goosedown
one, and although loads better than synthetic or even feather and
down, it just isn't quite the same....

Have you ever seen silk-filled ones? They are being imported from
China now.

carbon carbon carbon ...

grrrrrr.
