Eider Down Silk Comforter

Experience Ultimate Luxury The best of the best! The finest, warmest and rarest down comforter in the world. Eider ducks warm their nests with down they pluck from their own bodies during molting season. Once their ducklings hatch, they abandon their nest leaving the precious down behind. Farmers harvest each nest by hand as Eider duck is protected from standard commercial harvesting methods. 100% Silk Shell, Made in Germany Classic Jacquard weave, high sateen 450 Thread Count / 900+ Fill Power equivalent 100% Genuine Iceland Eider Down Matching Satin Piping Trim All year weight True baffle box with mesh construction for maximum air flow This item is available by CUSTOM order only.

If you have any questions before you order, please don't hesitate to contact us.   The quality of a down comforter is determined by a few key factors: Fill power Fill power measures the amount of cubic inch space taken up by an ounce of down. Higher numbers reflect the size of the down cluster. Larger clusters “trap” more air resulting in fewer ounces needed to produce the lightest fluffiest down comforter! Thread count Thread count measures the number of threads per square inch. Finer threads result in higher thread counts. The weave is tighter making the fabric more downproof (to avoid leakage). The light weight of finer threads allows for greater down loft (fluffiness) and breathability of the comforter in order to maintain an even temperature. Cleanliness Many consumers who believe they are allergic to down are really just allergic to the dust from down that is not washed properly. Because down is an animal by-product, it must be washed several times before use. Stitch quality The shell of the comforter must be stitched with care. Down can leak through if needle holes are too large or the edges do not have enough stitches per inch making room for fibers to sneak through.
