What are the benefits of feather down bedding?
There’s no denying the luxury and comfort that feather and down bedding adds to your bedroom compared to synthetic alternatives.
Feather and down are excellent insulators that offer breathability, meaning you won’t overheat in summer but keep warm in winter. They’re also naturally hypoallergenic, making them suitable for those with sensitive skin or allergies.
Lastly, with proper care, feather and down bedding will last for years, making these eco-friendly textiles a cost-effective choice in the long run.
Is there a difference between feather and down bedding?
Feather and down materials come from birds like duck and geese, but there are differences.
Down refers to the soft, fluffy undercoating of feathers found on these birds. It is known for its superior insulation properties.
Feathers are from the outer covering of birds. When incorporated into bedding, they offer firmness and support.
Canadian Down & Feather Company offers a variety of feather, down and feather down blend bedding, catering to a vast range of sleep preferences.
What about the difference between goose down and duck down?
Goose down clusters are larger and have higher fill power than duck down clusters, making them warmer and more insulating.
However, you should also consider the loft of your chosen bedding. The higher the loft, the better the quality. If goose and duck down bedding have the same measure of loft, they are of the same quality.
Generally, duck down is less expensive than goose down, so it’s a more affordable way to invest in the luxurious bedding.
What are the differences between feather and down bedding and their synthetic alternatives?
Feather and down are lightweight and soft. They offer excellent insulation and mould to your body for a cosier sleeping environment.
While synthetic fibres like polyester are designed to mimic the feel of down, they aren’t as warm or breathable. However, they are a great choice if you are allergic to feathers or down.
Are feather and down bedding products ethical?
Whether your feather or down bedding is ethical is dependent on responsible sourcing. It’s essential to look for products with third-party certifications that ensure animal welfare and traceability.
Canadian Down & Feather Company is committed to ethical sourcing. It’s regularly audited by IDFL Laboratory and Institute, a certified body for major textile standards.
Canadian Down & Father Company holds IDFL’s Responsible Down Standard Certification. The majority of its products also adhere to the Oeko-Tex Standard 100. This means that they do not include substances harmful or toxic to humans.
