Duvet Down products

Duvet Down UK duvets are manufactured with sumptuous selected white Down and feathers. This natural content is blown up generously in a soft Damasked Downproof cotton shell with baffle box construction. The whole collection of duvets at Duvet Down holds only light duvets. These Down duvets give maximum comfort and warmth during the night.

All duvets at Duvet Down provide an exceptional Down quality since this content is harvested from mature birds. This specific element is the most important one if the quality of the duvet is about to be analyzed. In fact, all duvets manufactured from European or Chinese duck Down do not have this quality of Down.

The Chinese duvet

The Chinese Down used to blow up bad quality duvets is taken from inmature ducks. These Chinese ducks are bred with the only purpose of making of them a “Peking duck” dish. Chinese Down is thus taken from young farm raised birds, which haven’t had enough time to produce a Down of quality. In addition, the Chinese Down fibers are less thick than those of Canadian Down (this reduces the quality of the duvets). A duvet made of Chinese duck Down has low loft. The loft is the capacity of the Down to get volume, i.e. to retain the air as well as to diffuse warmth. Thus the Chinese duvets are not of such a good quality.

The European duvet

The quality of the European Down duvet is better than the Chinese Down duvet. However, most of the duvets designed in Europe, particularly in France, are also made of Down taken from young animals. In southern France, Down used to manufacture duvets is taken from animals (geese and ducks) which are force-fed in order to produce “foie gras”. These birds live in farms where temperature never goes under 45 °F. Furthermore, these force-fed birds are far from being healthy. These breeding conditions prevent the Down to develop all its thermoregulating properties. These properties will become the asset of Canadian duvets.

Hutterite Duvet Down duvets

Hutterite Duvet collection at Duvet Down is made of Hutterite White Duck Down, taken from birds bred at temperatures below -25 °F during the winter! Birds from which Down is taken are at least 2 years mature, which ensures the quality of the Down, and then of your duvet. These two criteria are enough to guarantee an exceptional comfort in all the duvets presented at Down Bedding website.

The assorted duvet collection offered at Duvet Down UK gives our customers the chance to choose between light and super light duvets, thermoregulating duvets and four seasons duvets. The bigger the fill power of the Down, the better its thermoregulating properties. At Down bedding we have a perfect duvet for you, call us!
