The world’s most luxurious duvet – 100% eider down
Unsurpassed luxury duvet, consisting of 100% eider down from the coldest regions in the world. The spring is also of the very best quality, consisting of a unique blend of the finest Kashmir wool and cotton. These fantastic materials create the basis for the world’s most luxurious duvet. Unlike other types of down, the small fine eider down sticks to each other so that they do not separate, and they therefore do not clump together. In addition, you can not feel the fine little stems of the eider down at all, so the duvet can really be hugged and embrace you at night in pure softness and airiness.
The measurement methods used for other types of down give a misleading picture of the real insulating capacity of eider down. We therefore do not indicate the carrying capacity for this type of down. Eider down is – without comparison – the warmest and at the same time the lightest raw material in the whole world. An eider down duvet is also animal-friendly, as the down does not come from slaughtered animals, but is instead collected by hand directly from the nest. Eider down provides a constant, lovely warmth under the duvet, while it is still incredibly light and airy. It is the air in the filling that retains the heat.
An eiderdown duvet is a long-term investment. Eiderdown lasts much longer than other types of filling for duvets. There are several examples of eiderdown duvets that are more than 100 years old and have been passed down between generations. When eiderdowns are so durable, you can transfer the eiderdowns to a new duvet spring when the generation changes, so that the next generation gets a completely new duvet that can be used throughout their lives, and pass on to another generation.
Eider down – hand-collected from the nest and hand-filled in production
It is a slow and time-consuming process to obtain eider down. You look after the eider bird and wait until it has built its nest, hatched its young, and the ducklings have left the nest again. Only then are the small, fine eider down hand-collected from the abandoned nests. Eider birds live freely and in limited areas in some of the coldest regions of the world – such as Iceland or the northernmost part of Finland – which means that the amount of eider down is very limited.
It is the climate, the food, the surroundings and the life of the eider birds that determine how much down is available per year. When the eider down is collected from the nests, it is dried and cleaned on a down harp, this is also done by hand. It must be said to be true craftsmanship without comparison. In addition, we also manually fill the spring with the eider down in the production premises in Vamdrup.
Certifications
The eider down duvets are the only duvets that we produce with pure natural filling that do not carry the DownPass 2017 label. This is because the down is collected from abandoned nests and does not come directly from the animals. Therefore, the animal-friendly and ethical aspects are not relevant for this type of natural filling. That said, there is no doubt that our suppliers are extremely concerned about the well-being of the birds in their areas – otherwise they will just find new nesting sites, as they live their wild lives as free birds. As you can see in the pictures from one of our suppliers, it is even possible to build your nest under a roof.
All our eiderdown duvets are made to order and typically come in two sizes: 140×200 cm and 140×220 cm, and in three warmth levels: cool, medium and warm.
Maintenance
Should be aired and brushed with a soft brush. Do not beat, vacuum, wash or dry clean. Spot clean with a well-wrung sponge and a mild enzyme-free detergent.
