Explanation:

Air is a poor conductor of heat. Feathers and home insulation trap a lot of air. This trapped air reduces heat transfer (either from inside to outside or vice - versa) because air's low thermal conductivity acts as a barrier.

Answer:

They trap a lot of air, and air is a poor conductor of heat, reducing heat transfer.
