Hypocleaning and Allergy Free Comforters

Author: iheartdown

Some down comforter manufacturers offer an allergy free guarantee on their products. The down used in these allergy free comforters has been through a hypercleaning process. Gentle, biodegradable cleaning agents are used to wash the down. The down is then rinsed five to eight times.

Hypercleaning is gentle yet effective. It removes dust, dirt and allergens leaving the down up to four times cleaner than the down found in comforters that have not been hypercleaned. Even if you’ve purchased a down comforter with an allergy-free guarantee, it’s best to enclose the down comforter in a down comforter cover.

Hungarian Goose Down Q&A

Author: iheartdown

Why is Hungarian goose down one of the best in the world?

With annual sales of 4000 tons of high quality feathery down as acknowledged by the world market Hungary is the most significant down exporter in the world. Favourable geographic and climatic features, century old traditions and conscious purification through breeding have resulted in this very valuable and popular product. The Hungarian down is the outcome of the successful combination of careful and professional animal keeping and industrial processing technologies, which respect the needs of the animal and apply the latest scientific achievements.

Why choose Hungarian goose down?

Down is a natural product that breathes better than synthetic fibers. That is because it absorbs moisture which naturally evaporates from our bodies as we sleep and draws it away from our bodies for a more comfortable night’s rest. Hungarian white goose down provides the best weight to warmth ratio of any bedding product, so you feel like you are surrounded by a fluffy cloud instead of heavy layers of blankets or comforters. By its nature Hungarian down comforter lofts and does not clump and mat down the way synthetic fibers ultimately do, so it lasts longer. By changing the duvet cover you can easily change the fashion look of your bed rather than having to buy a lot of different comforters or bedspreads and then having to store these much bulkier items.

Geese Geese

Got goosedown bedding questions?
We’ve got answers!

True geese are medium to large birds, always (with the exception of the Nēnē) associated to a greater or lesser extent with water. Most species in Europe, Asia, and North America are strongly migratory as wild birds, breeding in the far north and wintering much farther south. However, escapes and introductions have led to resident feral populations of several species.Geese have been domesticated for centuries. In the West, farmyard geese are descended from the Greylag, but in Asia the Swan Goose has been farmed for at least as long.

All geese eat a largely vegetarian diet, and can become pests when flocks feed on arable crops or inhabit ponds or grassy areas in urban environments. They also take invertebrates if the opportunity presents itself; domestic geese will try out most novel food items for edibility. Geese usually mate for life, though a small number will “divorce” and remate. They tend to lay a smaller number of eggs than ducks but both parents protect the nest and young, which usually results in a higher survival rate for the young geese.

Protected Animals

They don’t kill their birds for down and feather.  It is one of the few last remaining places in Europe where geese are still widely raised in the countryside for a variety of purposes. Geese raising has been a long time tradition in Hungary and all the industries associated with geese are highly sophisticated and refined.

The manufacturer is using only large cluster hand harvested down and feather without any injury ( proven by the veterinary and hygiene institute) to our birds. Our down is not a by product of the food industry. All product filled with New 100% Hungarian White Goose Down. We are Not using feather share or duck or refurbished /used/ down.

These are legendary, and finest Hungarian goose down comforters and pillows that money can buy, and these products will give you many-many years of warmth and comfort.

Down?

Author: iheartdown

The down of birds is a layer of fine feathers found under the tougher exterior feathers. Very young birds are clad only in down. Down is a fine thermal insulator used in goods such as jackets, bedding, pillows and sleeping bags.  Widely recognized as cost prohibitive new technologies and collection methods are making this once unattainable product a reality for people all over the world.

Down offers excellent thermal properties, and has good lofting characteristics. This means that the down traps small pockets of air efficiently. The small pockets of air provide the thermal barrier. Down has the added property that it can be packed into a very small space.  So whether it’s a tiny pillow or a king sized comforter, you’ll keep getting great insulation!

Hungarian Geese

I was really happy to see that your goose down is a product of humane collection methods used in Europe.  A lot of people don’t know that geese are still raised in Europe and treated humanely for collecting their down.  Sometimes in the United States you’ll get down that is a by-product of the food industry or from a bird that was killed for its feathers.

Thankfully I don’t have to worry about those types of things with your goose down comforters and pillows.  Knowing they’re all backed by a company with over 300 years of experience and from birds that are allowed to roam free helps me sleep better at night.  And a better sleep is what I come to you for!

So much for too expensive!

Author: iheartdown

I was always jealous of my friends who could afford luxurious goose down comforters.  Not anymore!  Now my family and I can anjoy the unparalleled warmth provided by goose down bedding without breaking the bank.  Your comforters, pillows and sheets don’t sacrifice any quality, either.  No more cold nights or chilly rainy days.  We live in Wisconsin and these comforters and pillows make a bigger difference than ever.

My kids appreciate them too.  And since we can warm up at the drop of a hat we’re saving on energy costs.  No more cranking the heater at midnight to get back that lost body-heat.  Thanks a million!
