Albany, NY (December 17, 2012) -- From natural gas to heating oil, consumers can expect to see rising costs to ensure comfort this winter season according to a recent survey conducted by the U.S. Energy Department's Energy Information Administration (http://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.cfm?id=8310). The survey indicates U.S. households will spend more to heat their homes this winter.
According to the U.S. Energy Department's study, heating bills will rise 20 percent for heating oil customers, 15 percent for natural gas customers, 13 percent for propane customers and 5 percent for electricity customers. In addition to being the world’s highest performing synthetic insulation for outerwear, PrimaLoft® is also known as The Luxury Down Alternative®, in the home and bedding industries due to its luxurious feel, unrivaled comfort and hypoallergenic properties.

As an alternative to turning up the thermostat, PrimaLoft® offers a few simple tips for those who want to remain warm without spending more:
- Instead of turning up the heat when you’re inside the house, keep your core and extremities insulated and you’ll retain more body heat. Layer on a PrimaLoft® insulated vest, like the Patagonia Nano Puff, to keep your core warm. Add soft and cozy Fox River socks made with PrimaLoft® Yarn to keep your feet toasty while you lounge around the house or run errands.
- Build a crackling fire, and snuggle up with a lofty and luxurious PrimaLoft® comforter, from Macy’s Hotel Collection. It’s another simple way to stay warm without cranking the thermostat.
- Keep moving! The more you move around, whether exercising outside or cleaning the house inside, the warmer you will be! Moving keeps your body temp raised, keeps energy levels up and burns calories.
