What Is The Best Down Bedding ?
Down bedding is best identifiable by its fluffiness, refered to as loft. Fill power is the measurement of loft. The higher the fill power the greater the insulation warmth - European / USA Standard. Our recommendation is to choose the Australian Accredited IDFB Member made quilts and pillows for compliance , ethical standards and quality. For example a 90% down quilt with 700 fill power needs more fill weight than a 90% down quilt with 850 fill power for the same warmth. The best quilts are therefore often the lighter quilts. Different species of down like Hungarian goose , Polish goose and german goose can be proccessed to varies fill power quality and standards depending on requirements.
