An eiderdown comforter (duvet) and eiderdown pillow - the absolute in bedding luxury! For those individuals who want the finest bed linens, eiderdown is it!
The eider duck lives near the Arctic circle, but comes to the shorelines of Iceland, Canada and Russia to nest in June. The female eider duck plucks down from it's breast to line the nest. Once the nest is abandoned, the precious down is hand collected. Only 15-20 grams of eiderdown can be collected from each nest.
The individual eiderdown plumule has tiny hooks so that each cluster holds on to the next, which prevents the down from shifting. These hooks have micro filaments that trap the tiniest pockets of air.
Insulation comes not from the eiderdown, but from the air which is trapped in the pockets. The air in eider down is warmed by the sleeper and retains warmth better than any other kind of down. Our eiderdown comforter (duvet) insulates at approximately 850-900 fill power and weighs almost nothing!.
Eiderdown is the softest, lightest, and warmest down in the world. The Swiss cotton batiste cover adds an extra layer of luxury. We can't imagine anything more beautiful or cozy!
Christian Fischbacher eiderdown comforters (duvets) and eiderdown pillows are the genuine article. They are custom made in Switzerland with hand-harvested 100% Icelandic CLASS 1 eiderdown. Delivery is in approximately 2-3 weeks - well worth the wait!
To maintain your eiderdown comforter, we recommend a duvet cover.
