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.

Ha, I get it!
But let’s say I have a friend who doesn’t…

I think it’s easier to get down from a goose than a duck.
