BY FILL TYPE

Synthetic Fill (Down Alternative Fill)

Down alternative comforters are generally filled with cotton, polyester, or rayon. These materials are meant to mimic the fluffiness and warmth of down, without adding too much weight. For our products, all the down alternative comforters are filled with premium polyester. Down alternatives are generally less expensive than goose down, and they are a ‘vegan’ alternative to animal-derived down. Additionally, many people choose down alternative comforters because of their hypoallergenic nature when compared to a goose down comforter.

Down & Feather Fill

Down is the light fluffy coating clustered beneath the feathers of waterfowl that helps to protect them and keep them warm through natural insulation. Down is a three dimensional cluster made up of fluffy filaments and contains no quill.

Feathers are from the plumage of waterfowl, and do not contain quills. They are two dimensional and provide insulation and support the down and feather products.

Down and feathers provide us with natural fill products that are breathable, durable and resilient, and provide excellent insulation without a lot of weight. Down and feather products are also natural and environmentally friendly, their manufacture leaves a far lower carbon footprint the synthetic materials.

BY FILL POWER

Are you planning to stay warmer in the winter or cooler in the summer? Would you like a blanket that is more fluffy or flat? The answer to both questions is in the Fill Power. Generally, the higher the fill power the greater amount of warmth and fluffiness per ounce. Good quality fill power starts at around 500, while high fill power offers more warmth for weight, even the lower fill power in down may be enough to ensure your comfort while sleeping..

BY CONSTRUCTION

The construction of a comforter impacts its overall comfort and durability. These are the two common types of construction:

BAFFLE BOX CONSTRUCTION

Takes the sewn-through design to a new level. Boxes are sewn into the comforter and an internal fabric wall separates the top and bottom layers of fabric adding strength. In addition to making the comforter fluffier, the baffling also forces the filling to stay in one place..

SEWN-THROUGH CONSTRUCTION

Comforters force feathers to stay in one place. No matter how much you toss and turn, your duvet will stay insulated throughout, and makes for a warmer comforter.

BY THREAD COUNT

The primary indicator of fabric quality. The higher the thread count, the more tightly woven and “fine” the fabric is.

BY WARMTH LEVEL & COMFORTER WEIGHT

The temperature of your bedroom is a most important thing to choose a perfect match down comforter for you. Line up the temperature of the bedroom you live with how you usually feel here while you are sleeping. Then you should pick the warmth level according to your requirement.

BEDDING CARE TIPS

DOWN & FEATHER

• Please don’t wash your Down and Feather filled products
• Best to air outside on a nice summer day to refresh down and feathers.
• Dry clean if necessary, spot clean recommended.
• The use of duvet covers and pillow protectors is strongly recommended.

DOWN ALTERNATIVE

• Allow 48 hours for the product to regain its original fluffy loft and appearance.
• Wash the comforter with the machine set on the gentle or delicate cycle using cold or warm water only. Gentle soap without additives.
• Dry the comforter on low heat with a few tennis balls to plump it up. Use the fastest speed to take as much moisture out as possible.
• Fabric Softener is not recommended as it will coat the cover and reduce its fluff. Use non-chlorine bleach for whitening results.
