Fill Power
No matter what type of down is used to fill the
duvet, every time when you are buying a down duvet, you have to look at its
fill power. Fill power is such a strong indicator of quality that even if you
look at nothing else, it would be all enough to figure out the quality of the
duvet.
Fill power refers to the filling power of the
fibers of the down. The more dense and large fibers are, higher will be their fill
power. Down duvets having high fill power are way better than those will low
fill power in terms of:
· Softness
· Weight
· Warmth
If you intend to buy a duvet that is warm, soft and
very lightweight, you need to choose a down duvet that has a high fill power
preferably over 600.
Canadian down duvet with high fill power are
obviously expensive than those with low fill power. This means if you are
interested in buying a high quality duvet with high fill power, you must be
ready to invest serious money on the duvet.
Despite the fact that fill power is a very strong
and powerful indicator of quality of a down duvet but it is not the only
indicator, there are quite a few others too.
Construction
The next thing, after fill power, you must look at
it is the construction of the duvet, that is how it is made. Down duvets are
made in two different ways.
First type of construction is simple where duvet is
sewed from its four sides and the down keeps on moving freely inside the duvet.
You can imagine a major drawback of this type of duvet. Goose down inside the
duvet will keep on moving from one place to another and this can turn out to be
very irritating especially in those cold winter nights.
Second type of duvet construction is known as
baffle-box where duvet is along with the down is sewed finely all over. The
down is stitched to the duvet case. This type of duvet is more reliable and
better as down cannot move and thus it will not stick to sides rather it will
always remain distributed evenly.
So you have two types of canadian goose down duvets
to choose from. Of course, baffle-box construction is better but it comes at a
high cost.
As soon as you purchase a canadian goose down duvet,
it is recommended to purchase matching similar sized duvet covers too so that
you can protect your duvets right from day one. This will eventually increase
the life of your duvet to a great extent.
