How to Select Your Fill Power

Author: iheartdown

Choosing the right fill power for your goosedown bedding can be pretty confusing. Here are some quick tips to help you out!

  • The higher the fill power the larger the down clusters.
  • The larger the down cluster the higher the quality.
  • The higher the quality the longer it will retain it’s loft and firmness.
  • The larger the down cluster the more mature the bird from which it came.
  • The larger the down cluster the more air it traps.
  • The larger the down cluster the more it will loft and puff up.
  • The larger the down cluster the better the insulating power.
  • The larger the down cluster the lighter the down pillow, down comforter or feather bed will be.

Fill power represents quality, loft and how warm a down comforter will sleep. The higher the fill power the higher the quality. The higher the fill power the higher your down comforter will “puff up” and loft.
