| Care |
Spot Clean Only. For small stains, spot cleaning with a mild detergent and water can be effective. Gently work on the stain and rinse the area thoroughly to remove any soap residue. Ensure the cleaned area is fully dry before using or storing the pillow. We suggest giving your pillow a good shake and fluffing it up daily or each time you make your bed to ensure the down filling remains evenly distributed. The down is washed and cleaned with Allernon-21 Ultrafresh® technology (EPA registered & OEKO-TEX® listed) to help remove any allergens and keep the down smelling fresh and clean.

| IDEAL FILL POWER |
Down fill power is a measure used to quantify the loft or fluffiness of down products, such as duvets, jackets, and sleeping bags, indicating the quality of the down. It measures the volume in cubic inches that one ounce of down fills up in a standardized testing environment. The higher the fill power number, the more air an ounce of down can trap, and therefore, the better it is at insulating. High fill power down provides more warmth for less weight, making it a desirable characteristic for lightweight and warm bedding or apparel. This measurement helps you compare the warmth-to-weight ratio of down products and make informed decisions based on their insulation needs and preferences.
We use a fill power of 650, which we consider to be ideal for a pillow. Firstly, it strikes a perfect balance between warmth and support, providing excellent insulation without being overly heavy or cumbersome. This level of fill power ensures the pillow is fluffy and comfortable, offering a cozy sleeping experience across a wide range of temperatures. It's suitable for year-round use in many climates, making it a versatile choice - the perfect combination of support, warmth, and value.

| RDS BENEFITS |
Opting for down that is certified by the Responsible Down Standard (RDS) supports ethical sourcing practices, ensuring the down is collected in ways that prioritize animal welfare and environmental sustainability. RDS certification signifies that the down products are sourced from facilities where animals are treated humanely and are not subjected to practices like live-plucking or force-feeding. By choosing RDS-certified down, you can contribute to the promotion of responsible industry standards and make a positive impact on animal welfare and sustainability efforts.

| OEKO-TEX® |
The OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification, particularly when certified according to Annex 4, for a down duvet insert signifies that every component of the product, including the down, fabric, threads, and any other parts, has been tested for harmful substances and found to be safe for human health. Annex 4 certification is specifically stringent, indicating that the product meets the criteria for direct contact with the skin of babies and toddlers, which are the most sensitive user groups. This level of certification ensures that our duvet insert does not contain any harmful chemicals or substances at concentrations that could be detrimental to health, providing peace of mind to consumers looking for products that are safe, non-toxic, and suitable even for the most delicate skin, according to OEKO-TEX standards.

This certification is a guarantee that the manufacturer has met high standards in producing down or feather products, ensuring the item you purchase is made with genuine, high-quality materials.
