  • Medium class duvets.
  • And finally, low class duvets or cheap duvets.

To which class belongs your duvet? That’s the question !

 

Don’t pay attention to false promises, no matter which category of duvet you are pretending to buy:

One of most known promises is the importance of amount of onzes of filling, few times reported as oz/sq ft. The amount of onzes doesn’t say anything by itself. It can not be compared unless it is done with products of the same quality. You will not find any website reporting all characteristics. In fact, it is not the amount of oz per square feet that makes a duvet a good duvet. Feather is heavier than down but its calorific capacity is weaker. Even talking about down, duck down is heavier than goose down. And given the circumstances, there are different qualities of goose down!

In short, filling amount is not important if it is not accompanied by a Filling Power value. High filling power values don’t need to be accompanied of huge amounts of onzes, because they let the duvet to be light and puffy.

Luxurious duvets

 

Eiderdown duvet is one of the most expensive ones, but it isn’t the best. Eiderdown comes from the Eider duck. It has a superior insulating power. The reason of its so high price is that the Eider duck is a protected migratory species, therefore down is collected by hand from nests without disturbing the birds.

Where to find it? At thedownstore.com, a king size duvet is offered at a price of 6950 USD. You also can visit allergybuyersclubshopping.com where an eiderdown king size duvet is offered at 12 500 USD.

Goose down duvets of high class

Geese are raised in a tradicional way only in Canada. Why? Ideal circumstances have been appeared only in this country to raise these birds keeping in mind the down production. Being a bigger bird than duck, goose down threads are longer, therefore higher its capacity to hold air. If you are looking for the best quality in down, you must have a look on Hutterite down.
