ORIGIN OF GOOSE DOWN

Hungary is one of the few places remaining in Europe where geese are still widely raised in the countryside. Geese farming has a long tradition in Hungary, and the industries associated with goose and down products are sophisticated and regulated. The Hungarian down used is certified by a respected veterinary institute as well as by the National Hygiene Board. They do not use "live-plucked" feathers nor any painful process to harvest down. They neither cause injury to geese nor acquire down by means of industrial farming.

All comforters and pillows are filled with new, 100% Hungarian white goose down. Unlike other products of the same category, there is no "feather share", inferior fill, duck or refurbished down.

Fill power is an important quality measurement when it comes to down products. To test the filling power, one ounce of down is compressed with a pre-determined weight. When the weight is removed, the down expands and the volume of space it occupies is measured in cubic inches - this number is listed as Fp. The higher the fill power is, the better/stronger the down material is, the more air the down will trap, resulting in a warmer product which will allow for a comfortable sleep. Our down comforters are filled with large-cluster selected white goose down with a fill power rating of 750-800. That gives our products one of the industry's highest quality hallmarks.

The quality and power of the down fill, and the shell material play a very important part in determining the price and quality of a product.

How to check the origin of down?
Today, only fewer farms are able to produce raw materials. Many companies advertise their product as Hungarian goose down-filled but, due to inability to provide such quantity of raw materials, they use mixes of low quality raw materials which in many cases are bleached and brightened duck down.
Here are the few main features that the product is fake and not of 100% Hungarian goose down:

• the product looks flat,
• advertised as 650 fill power (Fp) or above 800 fill power (Fp),
• too white and going to flat after few months (most common down is fragmenting due to whitening),
• too many brown and grey down filled in the product,
• strong odor.

ALLERGY FREE

• It is 100% organic bedding product and recommended by doctors to be used by sick persons suffering from allergy and asthma.
• No toxic chemicals are used to clean the down.
• All tick are sewn from pure cotton, all feathers and down are cleaned following the stringent requirements of German standards.
• Goose down quilts get warm easily and any humidity leaves them very quickly, that is why dust-mites have no proper conditions to live there and cause allergy or asthma.
