Duck or Goose down duvet

I would love one of the above but my husband is asthmatic and we keep reading conflicting information about down filled duvets being possible triggers for wheezing and asthma attcks.Do any asthmatics use one of these???If so have you had problems ??

    BHS do anti allergenic ones, which are the only ones my brother who has bad asthma can use. He also has a special mattress, pillows etc.

    His duvet is not goose or duck, as the feathers can escape and would aggravate asthma in my opinion.
