The quality of down, as in a down comforter filled with duck down or goose down, depends on the proportion of down in the filling. There are a total of seven quality levels. The filling weight for a perfect warm sleep varies from person to person. Down has a three times higher lofting power than feathers at the same weight. The higher the down content in down comforters and bedding, and the lower the proportion of feathers, the lighter and more cuddly-soft the down comforter item is. This rule of thumb also applies to quality and high quality: The more down is contained in a down comforter, the more luxury and class it possesses.

Down comforter - Care and cleaning
A down comforter consists of down and must therefore be washed with a special down detergent. The delivery of down detergent can also be done online in many care shops if one does not find it locally in a shop. Meanwhile, there is down detergent available everywhere, which preserves the loftiness of down per down, so that all down is gently cleaned. Daily shaking prevents the clumping of down in the down comforter. Therefore, airing and shaking a down comforter filled with down and feathers is so important. It doesn't matter whether you have a 100% down comforter or 90% down and 10% feathers or 60% down and 40% feathers mix. A down comforter can be washed in the washing machine at temperatures up to 60 degrees and then put in the dryer. To ensure that the filling is properly kneaded and dried, add clean tennis balls to the down comforter or down duvet. Regular cleaning of sleep products and sleep items is especially important for allergy sufferers, so that allergy sufferers can also enjoy an extra pleasant sleep.
