What is the appropriate care for down- and feather-filled duvets and pillows?

It is neither difficult nor expensive to care for your top-quality down- and- feather-filled duvets or pillows. Simple measures are sufficient to maintain the quality of your valuable bedding products for a long time span.
  • Fluff up your down- and-feather-filled duvet every day.
It is neither difficult nor expensive to care for your top-quality down- and- feather-filled duvets or pillows. Simple measures are sufficient to maintain the quality of your valuable bedding products for a long time span.
  • Fluff up your down- and-feather-filled duvet every day.
    Hence the countless air-filled pockets reshape which is an essential requirement for the excellent climate regulation in down-and-feather-filled duvets.
  • Air your down- and-feather-filled duvet or pillow regularly.
    Through daily airing the perspiration absorbed during the sleep is eliminated and the remaining humidity is reduced.
    When it is dry outside, duvets and pillows are perfectly suitable to be aired on the balcony or at the open window for one or two hours.
    When the air is quite humid, the humidity built up during the sleep cannot decrease. Therefore bedding products should not be exposed to mist or rain.

    Down-and-feather-filled duvets may neither be exposed to the blazing sun. Otherwise they will soon parch and get porous and the shell will be damaged through UV light as well. In winter bedding articles should not be dried at the heating and get too hot.
    Persons suffering from an allergy to pollen should choose pollen-free days to air their bedding articles at the open window.
  • Neither beat your down-and-feather-filled duvet nor use a vacuum-cleaner.
    Beating and vacuum-cleaning will do harm to the duvets and pillows.
    If you beat the duvets or pillows, the structure of the ticking threads will be loosened or even be destroyed. Furthermore, feather quills might burst, the marrow pulls out into the bed and turns into dust there.
    If down- and- feather- filled duvets and pillows are vacuum-cleaned, the fine pores of the ticking will be dilated and the fabric will be loosened. The pull of the vacuum-cleaner might even extract single down and feathers from the filling.
  • Occasionally treat the duvet or pillow with a soft brush.
    Thus, small quantities of dust are removed which might have accumulated at the seams etc. The structure of the ticking is so smooth so that dust can hardly adhere to the outer surface.

How do I have to store my down- and- feather-filled bedding products?

The duvet used in winter is to be stored in summer and the duvet used in summer must be stored in winter. Please, take note of the following: Store your duvets at a dry and well-ventilated place. Down and feather duvets might get moist in damp places which make the down and feathers stick together in their shell.

Besides bedding products should not be compressed over a long time period. A sufficiently sized shell that does not affect their fill power, is necessary to protect the down-and-feather-filled duvets and pillows from dust. They can be placed for instance in an old plumeau case or a cotton bag. Plastic bags are unsuitable to store down-and-feather-filled duvets and pillows.

Moreover, special encasings to store them are commercially available.

Can I store my down- and feather-filled duvets in bed drawers during the day?

The bed drawers should be sufficiently sized to ensure that the down and feathers are not compressed too much. Moreover, make sure that the drawer is aired adequately.
 
The exclusion of air in bed drawers that are too small is bad for the duvets and pillows so that they wear out more easily.
 
If you place your duvets and pillows into bed drawers during the day, please ensure that they are fluffed up daily and aired regularly.

I have inherited down-and-feather-filled duvets and pillows which have not been used and have been stored for several years. Can I still use them?

Even if down and feather pillows and duvets are durable, they undergo a natural ageing process. While the down and feathers were stored they might have been exposed to damp or damaged.
 
You should have cleaned your pillows and duvets at the bedfeather cleaners´. They sift and clean the material there, pick out the filling components and replace them.

Are down and feather duvets damaged when they are compressed during the transport?

To save space, bedding products can definitely be compressed during the transport which is the same thing that happens during the sleep: Though the down and feathers are compressed, they stay resilient. If they are fluffed up afterwards, they will quickly recover their old shape.
 
However, down and feathers will be damaged, if they are compressed and stored for a long time that way.
