What Do you Think About Goose Down Duvets? Don’t Miss it !

Duvets are basically used as a protective bedding item against chilling cold. Duvets are an important part of bedding and there is no way that you can go without a duvet if you are living in a country or state where temperature goes down several degrees below zero in winter.

History

There are different types of duvets but the warmest ones are goose down duvets. In 800’s, people find a lot of down duvets in some European countries including Norway, Finland, Iceland and others. At that time, people living in such cold climates were using down duvets to protect themselves from extremely cold temperature.

This is how a goose down duvet was introduced and was found. Due to its extreme warmth, it rapidly got famous and was started using by people at large all over the world.

Since then we are using these down duvets with a focus on goose and duck down as down from these two species is very warm as well as soft.

What Is a Goose Down Duvet

If you don’t know, it is a duvet that is filled with the down of the geese. This down is found under the wing of the geese and pretty much every other bird but since geese live in cold weather therefore their down is very warm and is considered of highest quality.

There are different types of duvets based on their fill like hungarian goose down duvet, Siberian down duvet and others.

Buying Tips

If you are to buy a down duvet for your home, here are a few tips that you must stick to.

·         When buying a down duvet, the first and the most important thing that you should look for is its fill power which refers to the number of fibers per square inch or in simple words, the density of the down fibers. Large fibers occupy less space and lightweight and are much soft than their short counterparts. If you are interested in a very warm and soft duvet, you should go for a goose down duvet with high fill power.

·         The construction of the duvet is also an important part of the buying process. Inexpensive down duvets are poorly sewed where down inside the duvet case heaps together and thus the purpose of using a down duvet fails. On the other hand, a better duvet construction is where down is sewed together with the duvet case. In this case, down sticks to its location and does not move around.

·         Size of the duvet is another important consideration. Always take the dimension of your bed and mattress when shopping for a duvet and choose a duvet accordingly. It is not necessary that a double duvet will fit a double bed. You can always use different duvets based on their size and it is recommended to choose the duvet on the actual size of your bed and mattress.

Now that you know the basics of goose down duvets and know a bit about the duvets, it is time to go out and purchase your first down duvet.
