Never long term store down or feather items compressed. Hang or lay flat only. You have likely caused some permanent loss of loft at this time which translates to some loss of warmth.
You can try the tennis ball trick others mentioned.
When you wash a jacket like that you want to use a product designed for use with durable water repellent (DWR) fabrics (the outside of your jacket is). Nikwax makes good, safe, and reliable products for caring for gear like this. https://www.amazon.com/Nikwax-Down-Wash-Direct-300/dp/B00XI1WT20/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1539791311&sr=8-3&keywords=nikwax+down+wash
Nikwax Down Wash Is the detergent you use. $11 on Amazon. They probably sell it at REI too…

You can try a soak with down detergent and some oxyclean. Wash and then tumble dry on low/med to get the down to refluff. No guarantees though.
