instead of dry cleaning?

no, actually that is not a very scientific answer. It seems to me that maybe they put more air than feathers in there and seal the cotton/poly with some sort of chemical treatment to hold the air in and somehow this is water soluable and then all that is left is the feathers minus the air (fluff)....but that is just a guess..

The feathers are just matted together. You need to put it in the dryer at low heat with a couple of tennis balls. The tennis balls bounce around hitting the blanket causing the matts to break up. Works great!

If it is an all down comforter, the down becomes stuck together when moist. When I wash my down comforter, I dry it 3 times. I have found that if I don't, it later gets a "musty" odor, and that is because the down was still damp inside and started to mildew.
Dry your comforter several times after washing. Also buy a duvet cover for it so you don't need to wash it as often.Just wash the duvet.

If it is true down, it is goose or duck feathers. When you get the comforter wet, it is getting the feathers wet and weighted down.
Here is good information on down comforters, click this link:

Dry it with tennis SHOES. Balls don't have enought weight to fluff the down.

Washers hate fluff!!!!
The material down is broken down by the rigid wash cycle. This is a good answer isn't it?
