How to identify a down duvet

The filling of the down duvet is mainly down, which grows on the abdomen of geese and ducks and forms reed flower-like down, and the flakes are called feathers. Since down is an animal protein fiber, it has higher thermal insulation than cotton (vegetable cellulose), and the down ball-shaped fiber is densely covered with thousands of small triangular pores, which can shrink and expand with the change of temperature, resulting in the function of temperature regulation. Absorb the hot air emitted by the human body and isolate the intrusion of cold air from the outside world.

One press: Relax and flatten the natural down duvet, let it recover naturally for three minutes, then press the quilt with your hand, and then release your hand, if it can quickly rebound and return to its original state, it is a good product. The faster the springback, the better the down quality. If there is no elasticity at all, the filler is likely chicken feathers or other long-haired flakes.

Second touch: Use touch and pinch to test the softness of the hand, whether there are complete small hair pieces or too large and thick long hair pieces, quills, etc. Such as soft and complete small wool pieces are authentic products.

Three beats: beat the quilt hard to see if there is dust spillage, the less dust spillage, the better.

Four kneading: Knead the quilt with both hands, if the plush is drilled out, it means that the fabric is imitation velvet and should not be purchased.

Five smells: close to the down duvet and take a few deep breaths, it is a good product without peculiar smell.

Six weights: Weigh the weight of a weight of the down duvet with your hand, and watch the size of the down duvet at the same time. The lighter the weight, the better the volume.

Maintenance of the down duvet

1. The down duvet cover should be covered when used. If it has been stained, the down duvet should be sent to a dry cleaner for dry cleaning, while the general fiber quilt can be machine washed directly.

2. The fabric of the down quilt is treated with anti-down, and down will be drilled out of a small hole, so be careful when using it to avoid being cut by sharp objects.

3. Choose good weather, and dry the quilt in a well-ventilated place without direct sunlight. The best time is 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.
