Danish Eiderdown FAQ's

Choosing a Danish Eiderdown can bring up some questions. We have compiled a list of our most asked.

Are Danish Eiderdowns suitable for all seasons?
Down is highly breathable, naturally wicking away perspiration and moisture, allowing it to evaporate and helping to regulate body temperature. For this reason, down quilts are versatile, providing warmth in winter but not too much in the warmer months.
Everyone has their own preferences for warmth and weight when sleeping.  The Danish quilt range comes in a selection of Lite, Standard and Extra fill weights to cater for your individual needs.

Are Danish Eiderdowns suitable for people with allergies?
Down and feather products, once properly cleaned, are naturally hypoallergenic. A superior quality down quilt or pillow will minimise the production of irritating dust mites, which are the principal source of allergies in bedding.
Danish Down and Feather fill is cleaned and processed to the highest international and Australian Standards. More information can be found here - Danish Eiderdown Certification 

 

Can Danish Eiderdowns be washed?
