Why a goose down duvet?

Both duck down and goose down are widely used as filling material for duvetsand other insulating products. The main difference between the two is in the size of the down flakes and related insulation value.

1. Down flakes:
- Duck down: The down flakes of ducks are generally smaller than those of geese. This means that more down is needed to achieve the same volume.
- Goose down: Goose down has larger and often fluffier flakes, meaning less down is needed to fill the same amount of space.

2. Isolation value:
- Duck down: Because of the smaller flakes, duck down can be slightly less insulating than goose down. However, modern production techniques and the mix of feathers and down used can significantly affect the insulation value.
- Goose down: Generally, goose down is considered a premium filling material with higher insulation value compared to duck down.

3. Fill Power:
- Duck down: Fill power is measured in Cuin (cubic inches per ounce), and with duck down it can vary, but it is often slightly lower than with goose down.
- Goose down: Goose down typically has a higher fill power, indicating a larger volume occupied by an ounce of down. This indicates better insulating properties.
