Fill power measures how much space one ounce of down occupies when tested under controlled conditions - essentially, it's a measure of the down's loft and fluffiness. Higher fill power indicates superior quality down with greater ability to trap air within its natural clusters.

This trapped air is what makes down such an exceptional insulator. High fill power down creates more insulating air pockets, providing better warmth-to-weight ratio while maintaining breathability. This means you get superior warmth without the bulk, plus excellent temperature regulation that keeps you comfortable whether it's cold or warm.

We offer an extensive range of fill power options to meet all your customers' comfort and budget needs. Our selection ranges from 600 to 800 fill power white down, plus premium 600 to 950 fill power white goose down. This variety allows you to offer everything from affordable comfort to luxury bedding options.

The higher the fill power, the more insulation and loft the down provides - meaning better warmth-to-weight ratio and a fluffier feel.

While both goose and duck down provide excellent insulation, there are two key differences that can help guide your choice toward the perfect comfort experience.

Duck down may occasionally retain a slight natural odour, while goose down is typically odor-neutral. Geese are larger birds, which means they produce bigger, loftier down clusters. This natural size advantage allows us to harvest sufficient quantities of the large clusters needed for premium high fill power down at scale. While duck down offers excellent performance with fill powers typically reaching up to 800, goose down can achieve the ultimate luxury levels of up to 950 fill power - delivering the largest, most luxurious clusters for exceptional loft and comfort.

At the same fill power rating, both options deliver the superior breathability, warmth, and comfort you expect from quality down bedding - the choice often comes down to your specific performance requirements and budget preferences.

The down in our products is ethically sourced from trusted suppliers across Canada, Europe, and Asia. While certain regions like Hungary and Poland have developed renowned reputations for premium down due to their long-standing traditions in down production, we believe quality should be measured by performance, not just geography.

That's why we evaluate all our down through rigorous laboratory testing at the International Down and Feather Laboratory (IDFL), assessing factors like fill power, cleanliness, and composition regardless of origin. This ensures every batch meets our exacting standards for loft, insulation, and durability.

What matters most is that our down consistently delivers the superior comfort, breathability, and warmth you expect - backed by comprehensive testing and our commitment to ethical sourcing practices you can feel good about.

Our down duvets and pillows contain genuine down material without added fills like feathers or microfiber, unless specifically labeled as feather-blend products.

It's important to understand that no manufacturer can truthfully claim "100% down" due to natural processing limitations. During down processing, tiny down filaments and small feathers are too small to be separated from the down clusters. This is why industry regulations prohibit misleading terms like "All Down," "Pure Down," or "100% Down."

Our down typically contains 75% to 95% down clusters, with higher fill power down having higher cluster percentages. The remaining material consists of soft, fluffy filaments and tiny feathers that are naturally part of the down harvest - these are completely different from the large feathers used in feather products.

Every batch of our down is tested by the International Down and Feather Laboratory (IDFL), ensuring consistent quality and accurate content analysis you can trust. This natural composition delivers the superior loft, breathability, and comfort that makes down the premium choice for luxury bedding.

The fabric of all our down products is specifically designed and manufactured to be down-proof, preventing any leakage under normal use. Our carefully selected shell fabrics feature tight weaves and down-proof construction that keep the fill securely contained while maintaining breathability.

If any leakage does occur due to a manufacturing defect, our down products are fully covered under our comprehensive quality warranty - 15 years for down duvets and 6 years for down pillows. This warranty reflects our confidence in the quality and durability of our construction methods and materials.

With proper care and handling, you can expect your Highland Feather down products to maintain their integrity and performance for many years of comfortable sleep. Please check Product Care for care instructions of our products.

Our baffle box construction is specifically designed to prevent down from shifting between compartments, with internal fabric walls that keep the down evenly distributed. Using the duvet with the sewn-in labels positioned at the sides also helps minimize any shifting during use.

However, some shifting may still occur after prolonged use, which is natural with any down product. If this happens and affects the duvet's performance, we're happy to repair it under our comprehensive manufacturer quality warranty - 15 years for down duvets and 6 years for down pillows.

This warranty coverage, combined with our baffle box construction, ensures your duvet maintains its even warmth distribution and comfort for years of restful sleep. For warranty details, please go to Quality Warranty page.

We use different construction methods depending on the fill material to ensure optimal performance for each type. Our down comforters feature baffle box construction, which uses internal fabric walls (baffles) with vertical sides that create separate sections. These baffles maintain the duvet's structure and maximize loft, allowing the down to achieve full fluffiness while preventing it from shifting and clumping together. This construction also eliminates cold spots and ensures even warmth distribution across the entire comforter.

For our silk, synthetic, and alpaca duvets, we use sewn-through construction. This method creates sealed sections, providing secure containment and preventing fill from bunching up while maintaining the natural drape. Unlike down, silk, synthetic, and alpaca fills don't need three-dimensional chambers to maintain their insulating properties. The sewn-through method prevents these materials from becoming overly bulky while ensuring even distribution throughout the duvet.

Each construction method is specifically chosen to maximize the performance and longevity of the fill material, ensuring you get the best comfort and durability from your duvet.

Beyond down, we carry a wide range of alternative fills, including feather, polyester, silk, bamboo, and luxurious Alpaca wool duvets. This selection spans from budget-friendly polyester to premium Alpaca wool, giving you options for every need.

Each fill material offers unique benefits in terms of warmth, breathability, and feel.

Our shells use finely woven, down-proof fabrics for durability and comfort. The 233 and 289 thread count finely combed cotton offers breathability and durability with a crisp feel. The 500 thread count sateen cotton features a subtle damask Swiss dot pattern, adding lightweight texture and warmth. The 700 thread count sateen is made from 350 thread count yarn woven as 2-ply, providing extra strength, along with a soft and warm finish. We also offer a 300 thread count TENCELTM organic cotton blend, which is soft, moisture-wicking, and eco-friendly.

Our duvet shells are crafted from 100% cotton, which feels soft to the touch and doesn't produce rustling sounds. However, noise perception can be quite personal. If you're particularly sensitive to fabric sounds, we recommend choosing a higher thread count option for the quietest sleep experience. Our ultra-soft 500 and 700 thread count sateen fabric, woven with very fine yarns, offers the best combination of silence and comfort.

Cotton duvet shells will naturally develop some wrinkles during transportation and normal use, but this doesn't affect the duvet's functionality or durability. We recommend using a duvet cover, which not only protects your investment and extends the duvet's lifespan, but also keeps your bedding looking crisp and fresh.

Here are the typical dimensions for most of our products. For specific dimensions, please refer to the individual product page.

The dimensions listed in our product descriptions refer to the shell fabric size before filling and finishing. When the shell is filled with down, the fabric naturally tightens around the fill, creating a slightly more compact finished product. Additionally, cotton fabric may experience minor shrinkage during washing, which is normal for natural materials.

These small variations don't affect the duvet's coverage or performance. Our duvets also feature corner ties to securely fasten your duvet cover, preventing shifting and ensuring consistent coverage throughout the night.

For optimal care that minimizes any additional shrinkage, please follow the specific care instructions provided with your duvet in Product Care.

We are committed to ethical sourcing for our down and feather products by adhering to leading industry standards that protect animal welfare and promote transparency. Our down suppliers are certified by the Responsible Down Standard (RDS), which strictly prohibits practices like live-plucking and force-feeding, and requires full traceability from farm to finished product. Regular third-party audits, on-site inspections, and chain-of-custody documentation ensure that all down is sourced from farms where animals are treated humanely and raised with respect for their well-being. By relying on RDS certification and transparent supply chains, we give you confidence that every product meets the highest standards for ethical sourcing.

Proper care ensures your Highland Feather products maintain their loft, comfort, and longevity for years to come. For down duvets and pillows, we recommend professional cleaning or gentle machine washing in a large capacity washer with mild detergent. Always dry thoroughly on low heat with tennis balls or dryer balls to restore loft. For our bedding materials, French linen becomes softer with each wash and can be machine-washed in cold water, while cotton bedding responds well to regular washing and can handle warm water. Silk bedding requires more delicate care with cold water and air drying.

Detailed care instructions are provided on each product detail page and in Product Care. We are always available to answer specific care questions. Please note that damages due to misuse and improper care will not be covered by warranty.
