Ceiling advice
We spend around a third of our lives in bed. The right choice of duvets is therefore a “life decision”. But finding the right duvet is not easy. Thick down duvets are too warm in summer and thin duvets are too cold in winter. Nevertheless, a summer blanket should be breathable and light as a feather on hot nights. A winter blanket, on the other hand, should keep you cozy and warm through cold winter nights.

1. Down comforters
Down comforters offer an unparalleled level of sleeping comfort, which is influenced by various factors. One of the main components of the high level of comfort is the quality of the down filling. There are different types of down that are of different quality and can retain heat to varying degrees. Particularly noteworthy here are wild duck down and eider down. The better the down is prepared and the higher the down content in a down duvet, the more efficient the thermal insulation and moisture transport. These features provide the unparalleled comfort of a down comforter.
1.1 Advantages of the different types of down
Goose down
Goose down is known for its quality and offers an unmatched warmth-to-weight ratio. They are extremely fluffy and therefore offer excellent insulation without being heavy on the body. Goose down duvets are particularly durable and retain their shape and functionality even after years of use.
Wild duck down type eiderdown
Arctic eiderdown-type wild duck down is a rare and high-quality option. This down is among the best duck down in the world and is particularly soft and offers exceptional thermal insulation. They are extremely breathable and allow excellent temperature regulation.

Organic duvets are an excellent choice for anyone who has both comfort and ecology in mind. Whether made from luxurious silk, breathable virgin wool, temperature-regulating camel hair or an environmentally friendly silk-Tencel mix, each of these blankets brings its own benefits. Silk blankets are known for their lightness and luxury quality, while virgin wool blankets offer excellent thermal insulation. Camel hair blankets are known for their softness and excellent temperature regulation, and a silk-Tencel mix combines the suppleness of silk with the sustainability of Tencel for an all-round comfortable and environmentally responsible sleep.
