billerbeck down range
Guaranteed traceable and certified down and feathers
We only use down and feathers for which we can guarantee that the geese and ducks were not kept for stuffing or producing foie gras production and were not plucked alive. We only use down from controlled origins with species-appropriate rearing and never from live animals.
The billerbeck Sleep & Health® Foundation certificate guarantees all of this. This means that the down and feathers of the geese and ducks are certified and always traceable back to the egg.
Down and feathers
Down is a natural filling material with quite amazing qualities. It is delightfully cuddly, soft and extremely light, especially when the down content is high. The higher the down content and the larger the down cluster itself, the higher the air inclusion and thus the insulating capacity of the down filling. This exceptional warmth is perceived as cosy and protective in bed, offering a lovely snug feel.
Bedding filled with down and feathers provide a pleasant climate in bed. They are breathable and are therefore very popular with people who tend to sweat at night. The breathability either prevents sweating or the resulting moisture is simply released.
By combining down and feathers you can benefit even more. For duvets, we mainly use the particularly fluffy and soft down. However, for pillows and toppers, which also have a supporting function, we increasingly use the somewhat firmer and more elastic feathers.
Eiderdown
Eiderdown is without doubt the most exclusive and expensive natural filling material for duvets available anywhere in the world. For this luxury filling, each step of the process requires real craftsmanship, and special care is required for the subsequent stages to produce the particularly warm and – in the truest sense of the word – feather-light duvets. These duvets are especially suitable for people who like warm sleeping conditions.
