GOOSE DOWN DUVETS: DIFFERENCES AND CHARACTERISTICS

If you're looking for the ultimate in sleep comfort, goose down comforters are an excellent choice. But what makes a truly quality comforter? And what are the differences between a comforter, duvet, and quilt?

Goose down duvets: Italian quality and production

Our duvets are made entirely in Italy, a country renowned for its quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. We use high-quality goose down, which guarantees lightness, softness and excellent thermal insulation capacity. Each duvet is quilted, to ensure that the down remains evenly distributed inside and does not move over time, thus maintaining its properties over the years.

Quilted vs. Coffered: What’s the Difference?

An important aspect to consider is the type of quilting:

Quilted: Our duvets are quilted with lines that run through the fabric, creating small cells or stitching lines. This method allows the duvet to spread evenly and maintain its shape over time.

Box springs: These have large sections or "boxes" that are sewn into them, dividing the down into large compartments. This may be less effective at keeping the down evenly distributed, and may cause the down to shift.

We prefer quilted duvets, because they guarantee a more even distribution of the down and a longer lifespan.

Difference between duvet, quilt and eiderdown

Duvet: is a generic term that indicates a bedspread filled with feathers or other material, used to cover oneself during sleep. It can be quilted or not.

Quilt : This is a type of lightweight comforter, often with a decorative fabric cover and internal padding. It may be quilted or boxed.

Down: This is a more technical term, referring to goose or other bird feathers used as padding. When people talk about "down" as a product, they often mean a comforter filled with goose down.

The goose down lining

The lining of our duvets is made of high quality, soft and resistant fabrics, which allow the feather to breathe and guarantee optimal comfort. The goose feather, thanks to its insulating properties, maintains heat during cold winter nights, but is also breathable, preventing excessive sweating.
