Europeans have known that the centuries old
tradition of sleeping under a quality down quilt is one of
life's greatest pleasures, winter or
summer. When Indian summer fades into memory and the nights grow
long and chilly, bedtime becomes a retreat into a cocoon of
warmth; nothing is cozier than a fluffy down quilt that is
tucked from foot to chin. Even in temperate weather and
climates, down's embrace warms both body and spirit as we sleep.

What is Down?
Down is the fluff that grows on the bellies
of geese and ducks, helping them to navigate icy waters without
losing vital heat. A single unit of down is called a cluster and
is 3-dimensional. It has the overall appearance of a ripe
dandelion pod. Every ounce of down contains about two million
interlocking fibers that trap air, keeping warmth in and cold
out.
Down clusters retain their resilience far
longer than even the best synthetics, which eventually mat and
lump together leaving empty, cold spots, while down continually
relofts and molds itself to the body.

What is a feather?
A feather is a flat, two-dimensional construction with a
quill shaft. It is heavier than down. Down has more
"loft" or fill power than a feather.

Outer Shell
The outer shell is made from 100% finely
woven cotton which is guaranteed down proof. Absolutely no
feathers or down will penetrate it. That this outer shell is
100% cotton is very important because it allows the down to
breathe and that provides comfort and warmth. All of our shells
are double stitched and finished with piping.
Quilt Construction
All of our quilts have baffles. A baffle is a
wall of fabric sewn inside the quilt that prevents the down from
shifting and keeps the top and bottom of the shell from touching
and creating a "cold spot". Baffles help achieve full
loft and insulating power. We carry the channel and box
construction.

Channel Quilt Construction
The channel construction has baffles
which run from top to bottom of the quilt. The baffling in
one direction insures that the down stays more in place.
It is only able to move to the bottom of the quilt. It
just needs one shake in the morning to re-shift the down.

|
|
|
|
Box Quilt Construction
The baffled rectangular box
construction holds the down in place, preventing shifting.

Taking care of your quilt
Always encase a down quilt with a cover. As
long as a quilt cover is always used, the quilt itself will not
require cleaning. Just air your quilt and pillows regularly to
circulate the down and remove trapped moisture (we give off
about two hundred grams of perspiration at night).
Now-a-days it seems you can buy down quilts
just about anywhere, but few places make them the way we do.
But, please compare us to the competition!
The only way that you will truly appreciate our value is by
putting our products up against all the other retailers of
down quilts. Compare us on the factors that really make a
difference with down quilts; fabric, construction, quality and
amount of fill, price and guarantee. Only with a Ducky Down Down
Quilt will you find all these factors at their best.
Sleeping under one of Ducky Down's light-weight
Down Quilts is warm and cozy in the winter and cool and comfy in
the summer... Ask your grandmother. She knows!
