How to choose your duvet.

A down duvet is an investment for generations. What should you look for when you buy a duvet?

Construction
Always look for the full length channel-type. These channels allow the best covering of the body, and prevent the filling from moving in the width. With long and wide tunnels the down can circulate and "breathe". This way of making a duvet also makes it possible with proper cleaning and maintenance.

The quality of the down
Nature has equipped Ducks and Geese with down and feathers. This unique natural protection even allows them to swim in the freezing waters all the way to the polar edge. Down and feathers consist of small air channels. The air is an obstacle for the cold or the warmth to reach the body, thus isolating against the freezing Arctic temperatures and the warm Midsummer. Down and feathers from seabirds are protected agains humidity, and transports the humidity away from the body. This quality provides the comfortable and healthy micro climate which only a down duvet can offer.

The climate is more significant for the size of the down than from which bird it is picked. In cold countries ducks and geese have larger and better down than their reiatives who live in warmer climates.

Geese and ducks living in the Arctic develop the largest down in the world, or else they would not sunvive. The largest down give the highest degree of filling, and the highest TOG rating.                                                     TOG rating = fillingpower.

Norvegr only use down from Siberia and the Arctic areas.

Filling power
The filling power tells you a lot about the down qualities ability to fill your duvet, and to give room to the air that is warmed by your body when you sleep. Filling power is measured on a scale of 1 to 14. The highest number the better filling power.

Look at the picture at the right and you see 2 cylinders with 2 different down qualities. The weight of the down in the cylinders is exactly the same. The volume of the down in the 2 cylinders, however, is significantly different. This picture visualizes filling power clearly. The best down gives the largest volume, and the lightest duvet.

The cylinder to the left is filled with White Siberian Snow Goose. Each and every individual down is bigger than in any other goose down quality. "Siberian Snow Goose" is the best goose down you can buy in the world.

The tickling, the inlets
We only use inlets from the best Egyptian Cotton Batiste for our duvets. This cambric is very light, bright and soft, and keeps the content inside the full length channels in the most satisfactory way.

Tailor made
By our experience, some clients often want individual solutions. Our duvets are handmade and individually adjusted to meet the desires of the customer. From the cold to the warm person, from the summer season to winter season, between the air conditioned room and the opened window room, we have the best alternatives.

Common for all down duvets is the ability of transporting humidity from the body, making a unique microclimate that gives the extreme sensation of dryness and nicely tempered comfort.

Maintenance
Duvets are made of long lasting materials. Remember to shake it gently every morning, and give it an airing now and then, but not directly into the sunlight.

The full length tubes make it possible to steam-clean the duvet, which you should do every 7th year. The tubes also make it possible to increase the quantity of down into the tubes if you want a warmer duvet, or extract down if that is necessary.
