What is
Natural down?

We chose to use breeding duck down; the latter being a residual product of food. As duck meat is more delicate, juicier and less fat than goose meat, so it’s consumed in greater numbers; its down is therefore in greater amount. A mature duck will provide 95 à 97 % of its income for its food and only 3 to 5 % for its down. This behind said, there is no producer who would raise animals for down alone. 

An aquatic bird from Nordic countries naturally have higher swelling feather and down (more insulating) to acclimate to cold temperatures than an aquatic bird living in a tropical country. Canadian duck down is one of the best on the global market and thereby one of the most sought. Ours is partly from Brome Lake(Quebec province) and Hutterites communities of western Canada. Always look for a down whose origin is clearly identified. Selected farms are approved by the Canadian down Association when they encounter animal ethical conditions. Down that comes from ethical farms is more commonly called ETHICAL DOWN. Using canadian ethical down to fill our duvet help create canadian jobs and local economic development.

There are several mixtures of down on the market, made up down, down fibers, feathers and plumules. It’s impossible to find a duvet only made up of down cluster. For your information, a mixture of high quality will be 90 % down. The higher down content is, the higher quality is.

The filling capacity will influence the duvet weight and thereby its comfort. With a high fillpower down quality, only a small amount of down is needed to fill a large volume. The lighter the duvet, less pressure will be on the body and thus the better sleep. 

We always buy a supreme loft down quality from ethical canadian farms. Nothing less then 750 fillpower.
