Goose down duvet for the bed: types and characteristics

Goose down duvets are among the most precious that exist because they are natural, hypoallergenic and offer a great thermoregulation capacity.

Goose down duvets are considered by many to be the best ever. And there are good reasons to think so. The duvets that have this type of padding have countless quality characteristics, because they are:

  • Easy to clean and wash, both in the washing machine and dry cleaning;
  • Suitable for allergy sufferers, because mites hardly proliferate compared to synthetic fabrics;
  • Extremely soft and light;
  • Completely biodegradable, as the padding is 100% natural;
  • Durable and resistant;
  • Hygroscopic, i.e. they help absorb the sweat that is generated during the night;
  • Thermoregulators, because they retain body heat and distribute it evenly throughout the bed.

Among duvets with natural padding, those that retain heat best are those made with white goose feathers , those taken from the goose's neck, which are not only warm and soft but also light and not bulky.

Instead, those made with gray goose feathers tend to be thicker and heavier, which, being less effective in generating heat, must be inserted in greater quantities, to make up for and offer the same level of warmth.

  2. Degree of heat 2 : ideal for rather hot rooms, around 22-24 degrees;
  3. Degree of heat 3 : suitable for moderately heated rooms or mid-seasons, close to 20 degrees;
  4. Degree of heat 4 : perfect for climates starting to be wintry, with indoor temperatures reaching 17 degrees;
  5. Degree of heat 5 : the hottest, for rooms that even reach 14 degrees.

The level of padding, the presence or absence of the characteristic quilted stitching, which helps retain heat, and the material of the padding itself contribute to influence the degree of warmth in the various models.

The most common padding materials are the various types of goose feathers, including even the less valuable down, and microfiber. Microfibre bed duvets can also be found at good prices , but it is good to be careful about buying quality products.
