Most of the time, the odor comes from the filling inside.
To cut costs, some manufacturers skimp on the washing process, meaning the natural oils aren't stripped away properly. When it gets humid, it creates a foul, manure-like stench.
Generally, goose down and feathers don't have this issue. Unlike ducks—which are omnivores and eat everything ducks naturally smell much worse than geese.
So if your down product has a super pungent odor, there's an 80% chance it's duck down or feathers. That's actually a key way to tell if it's really goose down.
