The comforter in question was taken to RMC and RMC dissected the comforter at their office.   

            1) Upon initial examination, the top side of the comforter had no stains on it.

 

2) They flipped the comforter to the side (that appeared to have stains) and when laying flat on the table – there were no stains

3) When held up to the light and light coming through the comforter, you could see the stains.

 

4) The comforter was cut open and the feathers exposed  - there were dark (presumedly goose feathers)

 According to information posted on the Dry cleaning & Laundry Institute International website:

Dark stains on down comforters is most often attributed to excess oil coming from the down. Dry cleaning may cause the oils found in down to migrate and stain the shell fabric

According to RMC the new coverlets being considered do not contain feathers and will be replaced on the beds.
