We get asked this question alot. The right warmth will vary depending on a number of factors like where you live, if the home insulated, do you use heating and mostly each individual feels the cold differently. Most quilts sold in department stores are a 4 blanket warmth, its the most common warmth as it covers the whole year for most Australian cities for most people. Many rural areas are more likely to get the colder nights, places like Orange NSW or Ballarat Vic, places like this that get below zero for much of the Winter usually require the 6...

After constant questions raised about Snow Goose down we had to take some action.  The rubbish that has come from the website of Pulmeriabay Canada had become increasingly frustrating with the need to constantly explain what they say is completely false and misleading.

We say prove it! They cant,...

Okay so you don't know which down to select. We have so many to choose from, which one is the best and why? Is Polish Goose down better than Hungarian Goose down? All common questions we get asked, so I will try to cover them all here. Which down you select largely comes down to your budget. Basically the higher the fill power rating the more expensive the down costs. Below is a list of the downs we use, each mention the European fill power rating. EIDERDOWN! Rated 1A Genuine Icelandic EIDERDOWN. Pure luxury at its absolute finest. Eiderdown is...

What is fill power? Fill power is a measure of the loft or "fluffiness" of a down product that is loosely related to the insulating value of the down. The higher the fill power the more air an ounce of the down can trap, and thus the more insulating ability an ounce of the down will have. We use the recognised European method for calculating fill power, not the USA method. When fill power is calculated a cylinder is used, the European method uses a cylinder that is 289 mm in diameter with a compression weight of 94 grams, the US uses a...
