Questions

We suggest to put the duvet in a breathable duvetcover to protect it from possible stains and dust. We recommend you to wash your duvet occasionately . You can wash your duvet in a domestic washing machine; it does not need to be frontal, but the tub must not have central agitator (tub must be big, more especially for the nordic and 4-seasons models).

What’s most important is to wash the duvet with small amount of liquid soap without bleach or softener and to chose a gentle setting with cold water (double rinse) .  For drying, you must do several cold cycles of 15 minutes, without fabric softener. Between each cycle, care to separate the down to resume its maximum fillpower. We highly recommand to add balls in the dryer in order to facilitate and make it faster, you may choose natural wool balls- not tenis balls. Here are the perfect balls you need for down bedding : https://laduvetnordique.com/en/produit/dryerballs-canadianwool/ 

If you are not comfortable with cleaning your duvet yourself, you can send it to a professional cleaning service, but always remember: never have it dry–cleaned because the chemicals can damage the down fibers and flatten your duvet. 

On a cloudy windy day, you can put your duvet outside for refresh easy and avoid loundry washing.

how to iron easily your cover:

When the down arrives at the supplier, it goes through a 5-step cleaning process. First, the down is dedusted and washed in very hot water. Then, detergent and organic degreasers are added to wash it thoroughly. In addition, fifteen rinse cycles result in the removal of any fine dust left and possible residues.

Afterwards, Ultra-fresh disinfectant is used to remove bacteria. This anti-bacterial product makes down (and feathers) hypoallergenic, ensuring durable freshness. Finally, water is removed from down by centrifuge and steam-dried at 100° C/212 °F. Once down is fully dry and sterilized, it is sorted by quality (fillpower-loft).

No, never.

 We ensure that down comes from farms complying with Canadian laws on animal ethics. Duck producers have audits on a regular basis to ensure that animals are well treated and never force-fed.

Furthermore, the ducks are raised for food, not for their down and feathers. It’s good to know that a mature duck yields about 95-97 % of its income for meat and 3-5 % for its down. Down is a residual product from the food chain. Unfortunately, the world-wide laws may vary depending on countries.

Each manufacturing company is free to buy down without worrying about the animals being respected in order to save some money. Obviously, that isn’t our choice and neither yours. Thus, all our down products carry the quality assurance label of The Down Association of Canada.

A comforter is filled with synthetic insolation while a duvet is filled with natural materials such as down (and/or feathers).

Be cautious of misleading labels on the market such as synthetic down comforters, micro-down duvets, gel down duvets, microfiber down blankets, etc. All these terms are used to describe the polyester comforter.

When it’s a real duvet, the packaging must simply read: down/duvet.

There are three factors to consider in the equation: down quality, fabric quality and the manufacturing country of origin.

Down

There are a lot of varieties of down quality due to different fillpower and  because of the mixture composition of down/feathers. Hence, the down factor of 700 will almost cost twice the price of that of 450-500. In addition, the down volume used to fill the duvet will also have a considerable influence on the price. Finally, the animal’s nature is crucial, the eiderdown having the highest market value due to its rarity.

Fabric

The higher the thread count, the softer and finer the fabric will be, consequently having a proportionnal price. For example, a 400 threads/inch fabric is much more expensive than a 300 threads/ inch fabric.

Manufacturing country and finish details

A product manufactured in Canada costs more in labor than a product manufactured in Asia.

At equal maturity, goose down is better than duck down. However, it is important to know that the down of a mature duck is superior to that of a young goose. Goose genetics provide them with a more voluminous down when younger, but the down of mature duck will be of equal quality. Therefor, goose down with a fillpower of 750 is as good as duck down with a fillpower of 750, since both of them fill the same space with the same weight.

No.

The color does not determine the quality, but  white down is generally used for duvets and pillows because the covering fabric is generally white. White down tends to be more expensive because of it’s higher demand on the global market.

Down is located under the feathers of the animal. It’s a fluffy three-dimensional structure that can stock air, while feathers are flat and cannot store much air. Feathers are only  used for filling space and are much heavier.

When you touch down fill duvet quilt, you feel only softness compare to feather quilt. Feather quilt are more firm with some sharp and crisp. The difference of handfeel is strong and perspicious.

Once cleaned and treated, down is as hypoallergenic as synthetic insulating materials.

Our down is cleaned with performance Ultra-fresh® antibacterial.

It is always better to put the duvet in a duvetcover to protect it from dust and dirt. Furthermore, it is easier and faster to wash the duvetcover on a regular basis than the duvet itself. If you choose not to use a duvetcover, it is recommended to wash the duvet as the seasons change, which also has the effect of reducing the lifetime of your duvet.

We now have duvet cover in our online store section.

The dimensions are always written on the duvetcover packaging to guide the client, but it may vary from one brand to another. Caution: the duvetcovers found in supermarkets are often too small. Make sure you choose a Queen oversized or King oversized duvetcover to allow the full width and length of your duvet to fit. Smaller duvetcovers can compress your duvet and make it less elegant.

A cover up to 3-4 inch smaller would be ok, but don’t go too much smaller  if you want to enjoy the fully comfort of our duvets. Smaller cover will always fit but it can change breathability and heat level.

Yes, absolutely.

 Our duvet will last you many years and will stay voluminous, if well cared for and completetly dried after cold wash. On the other hand, a polyester comforter can become thinner and show areas lacking in insulation after a few years. Here is an interesting report about down duvet costs.
