Down is made of the underfeathers of waterfowl.
Down alternative is usually polyester. The term “down alternative” is a euphemism for “synthetic”.
The down is the soft, fluffy part of the feathers of , usually, geese. If it says featherbed, you will get whole feathers with quills.
Down alternative is synthetic, used by many who are allergic to feathers. Both are very comfortable if of very good quality.
