What Makes Our Goose Down Product Different?
High-quality natural goose down and -feather products are functional and comfortable additions to your bedroom that can serve you well for years. Often mass-produced down products are filled using a combination of feathers and inferior man-made down that has been processed both chemically and physically to make it seem softer. However, this processing breaks the shaft of the feathers, allowing it to eventually disintegrate. Refined feathers and down may start out soft, but they don’t stay effective for long and is the root cause for common irritations widely experienced by frustrated users.
These annoyances incorporate the lumpiness of disintegrating feathers that cause these pillows to collapse; duvets increasingly lose their bulkiness and become ineffective insulators with filling moving around causing cold spots or spaces devoid of insulation; and dusty irritants cause a growing discomfort for allergy and sinus sufferers.
The quality of down is measured by its insulating abilities. Typically, goose down is considered better and stronger for the simple reason that it comes from a bigger bird that has larger clusters and produces larger plumules which have a much higher ability to retain a person’s core temperature.
Our driving ambition is for all Hex Valley Down products to encapsulate all things quality. Therefore, we take conscious care in the making of our products, filling them with unprocessed, clean, 100% pure goose down and -feathers humanely harvested without killing or mistreating our birds.
