Feathers are good insulators because they trap air. Motionless air is a very good insulator.
Wood and feather are good insulators because their materials do not have particles which are free to move. In addition the branched and layered structure of feathers means that they trap a lot of air pockets which makes them even better at trapping heat.

Because they trap more air.
Blankets are defined to be insulators.
No, most gases are good insulators. Fluids can be good conductors. Mercury is normally a liquid and is a good conductor.

A material or an object that does not easily allow heat, electricity, light, or sound to pass through it. Air, cloth and rubber are good electrical insulators; feathers and wool make good thermal insulators.

Yes, because there is room for air to be trapped in it and are is a good insulator. Airs particles are far apart therefore cannot conduct heat.
Plastics are a good electrical insulators because they are insulators. Electricity could not pass through them unlike copper. Another good example of insulators is rubber.
Blankets are defined to be insulators.
A down comforter is a quilted blanket with down inside. Down is made up of very fine feathers, often from geese, which are very good thermal insulators.
There are a number of materials that make good thermal insulators. Blankets and pockets of air make good thermal insulators for example.
plastic, paper, wood, cardboard, and rubber are all good insulators
If they are dry they would act as insulators.
diapers are good insulators because they hold in the cold and and heat but is a bad conductor
