Night Sleep: Comfort has always been a strong passion of Susan Fowler, owner of Down to Basics. She had a back injury at the age 12 which resulted in months in the Mayo Clinic. From that time on she craved the comfort of cozy, luxurious bedding and the healing peace of mind that comes with that comfort!
Upon her return to the States, while teaching Home Economics, Susan searched for a down comforter – not so easy to find in the 70’s! Since comforters were so rare in the US at that time, she started to sew and design comforters and duvet covers for The Company Store, Scandia Down, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bonwit Teller, Barney’s, and Bergdorf’s Leslie Anderson linens.
In 1985, Susan left teaching to start her first company, The Upstairs Down Shop. She opened locations on Madison Ave, Great Neck Long Island, Shrewsbury, NJ and Princeton, NJ. Her first hotel client was the Charles Hotel in Cambridge, MA in1985. They were one of the first to use down comforters and duvet covers in US and she still supplies to them today. Luxury and comfort to their guests is important to them.
After the sale of the Upstairs Down Shop, she started Down to Basics in 1991. For over 29 years, Susan Fowler and her long time, expert bedding staff at Down to Basics has provided the very best in down comforters and linens to individuals, designers, hotels, spas and hospitals in the US and in Europe.
These comforters are also versatile – they can be either puffed up or flattened depending on the the desired look. This is the same comforter in both these pictures.
Susan believes that a good night’s sleep is a BASIC necessity to your well-being. We invite you to nestle into our clouds of heavenly comfort – for only pennies a night for years of luxurious, comfortable sleep. Invest in the REST of your life!
