It's either fake or simply unnecessary for these purposes. In an ultralight backpacking jacket or sleeping bag, it's good, you're just paying way too money for something that is only 2% lighter weight. Go to r/ultralight and search down. More info than you could ever imagine.

Also, 1000 down is stupid and not even real unless in absolute humidity free conditions. Marketing again. 800 is realistically the highest backpackers (I've back packed extensively and worked in the outdoor industry) should go, but only to increase packability and decrease weight. None of that matters on your bed. I prefer a heavier feather/down combo for something that stays on my bed.
