What
is Fill Power?
All down is not the same. Down from larger, mature birds offers more
insulating power and a better ability to loft. These features are
reflected in a down's fill power which measures the volume an ounce of
down takes up. The higher the fill power, the better the insulating
ability of the down & more warmth with much less weight. So, when
comparing down comforters, fill power is a good measure of warmth and
quality.
The Company Store offers four types of down with varying fill powers.
Your choice will depend on the climate, season and your sleeping
preference.
European TCS Down 500-550 Fill Power
Combination duck and goose down which offers a higher fill power than
some manufacturers use in their best comforters.
White Goose Down 500-550 Fill Power
Excellent loft and the white down is a preferred choice for our
lighter-colored comforters.
European Polar White Goose Down 550-600 Fill Power
A high-quality goose down with plump, resilient down clusters for
exceptional comfort and warmth.
White Hungarian Goose Down 600-650 Fill Power
This highly prized down has a higher fill power than you'll find in even
the most expensive department store comforters.
Platinum White Goose Down 650-700 Fill Power
The world supply of this premium European down is so limited, it comes
with its own certificate of authenticity.
What
is the importance of Thread Count?
Thread count refers to the number of threads woven into a square inch
of fabric. The higher the thread count, the softer the fabric and the
tighter the weave. Our comforters are made with only high 232 to 356
thread count cotton fabric which makes them softer and virtually
downproof.
What
is the advantage of a Baffled Comforter?
Baffles are vertical interior walls of fabric along the stitching
line. Baffling gives down more room to fully loft. We use baffled
squares only in our baffled comforters. While they are more difficult to
make than standard open-pattern baffling (the squares must be filled
individually) it is the only way to ensure the down won't shift.
