Consumers Digest Names Beyond Down® Comforter a "Best Buy"

Jan. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- RICHMOND, Va. – Consumers Digest, one of the oldest and most-respected consumer product testing publications, has selected the Beyond Down® Comforter as a "Best Buy” for the second year in a row. The rating came with this strong review:  

"Beyond Down is a repeat Best Buy selection, because no other down-alternative that we evaluated comes close to replicating the feel of cotton as this model does. Its gel-coated polyester fill gives this model the same slippery and pliable lightweight feel as a down comforter has, and its double sticking is a feature that typically you’d find in more expensive down products.”

"Our Beyond Down products continue to be one of the strongest sellers in the consumer products division because they live up to being the only synthetic down to work like the real thing,” said Dan Schecter, senior vice president of consumer products at Carpenter Co. (http://carpenter.com).  "Quality and value are what SleepBetter products are all about, and when they outpace the competition year-after-year in 3rd-party testing, we know captured magic in the bottle.”

Beyond Down comforters, pillows and fiber beds can be found in retailers nationwide.
