Get Tested By a Certified Allergist
At night, when you are lying in your bed, and your coughing, sneezing, and watery eyes worsen, it could be most anything causing your allergy. If your pets are ones that stay indoors, it could be pet hair on your pillows or bed covers.
If you have plants in your bedroom, it may also be cause by those. Having an allergist test you is the only certain way you will learn what your allergy is and if you are really allergic to your down comforter.
If you cannot afford going to the allergist, try taking off the down comforter and switching it with another bed spread. If the ailments subside, and the symptoms seem to disappear, then chances are; you were allergic to your down comforter.
The down feathers are what makes the down so soft and is the part of the comforter that causes the allergy. The feathers make the bed soft and comfortable to sleep on. There are other options for you, however.
