The Ukraine is located on the Northern Edge of the Black Sea between Russia and Poland. Much of the Ukraine is ideally suited for agriculture and goose farming started in the Ukraine thousands of years ago. In fact, the decorative coloring of eggs is a tradition that dates back thousands of years and the Easter egg is one tradition that the Ukraine can take credit for!
These wonderful duvets carry a certificate of authenticity verifying that the down in fact comes from the Ukraine. Named after the capital city, these Kiev duvets are extremely popular.
Although they only test at 700 loft the quality and maturity of the down is so luxurious you won't notice the difference in weight.
Zurguard Down Processing System for Cleanliness
Cleaned with our Zurguard cleaning process this down is guaranteed to be Hypoallergenic and will not aggravate any allergies you may think you have to down. In the Zurguard Down Processing System the down is sanitized which eliminates bacteria. A special Ozone treatment is the final part of the cleaning process so that the Eiderdown has a lifetime of freshness. This process ensures that your down is Hypoallergenic and will eliminate any odors that would normally come from the goose.
The Zurguard cleaning process treats down in a more careful and gentle manner. While other cleaning processes may use heat that can overdry and even burn the down causing it to be brittle the Zurguard Down Processing System ensures that your down fibers are not damaged and never overdried. This ensures that the natural qualities of the down that keep you warm are not destroyed but in fact preserved.
The Zurguard system does not artificially enhance the loft of your down. Some cleaning processes that are used by big box stores and lesser down duvet manufacturers will actually artificially boost the loft of your down. So while you think you may be buying a 700 loft duvet, over time that down will actually lose its loft. In a year or two that down will actually become cold and you will want a new duvet. With our duvets you will never have that problem.
And as is standard with all of our duvets the Zurguard Down Processing System exceeds all government standards for purity and cleanliness. Ensuring you have a wonderful down cloud inside your duvet. This is true luxury.
The Casing or "Ticking" That Keeps The Down In Place
We import from Germany a 100% Egyptian Cotton. At 354 threads per inch the thread count is fantastic. When this fabric is woven at the mill a process called "callendering" squeezes the threads together so that down will not escape which is especially noticeable when you go to change your duvet cover.
The fabric is handsewn in Canada in a sealed baffle box design. I must tell you that our sealed baffle box is truly the best in the industry. Not only does our down not move from one baffle to the other, but the boxes have panels sewn on all sides so that the down utilizes it's full loft. Imagine a box that you pour down into as opposed to a envelope that is pinched on both sides. In a box you have an even layer of down throughout. In a envelope configuration you would have more down in the middle and less on all sides. Lesser companies have baffles on two sides and then "sew through" the tops and the bottoms. A sewn through baffle box means that the top layer of ticking and the bottom layer of ticking are sewn together. This creates cold zones and lesser duvets are sewn like this. It is cheaper to do and less expensive for the manufacturer. However, you end up with a cold zone where the stitching is thus wasting much of your money having spent it on high quality down.
Our down duvet construction ensures that the extra money you spend on higher quality down is well spent. Our duvets maximizes the full potential of higher lofted down so you can sleep under a warm layer of high quality down and be cozy all night long.
The casing is piped along the edges with a beautiful white satin cording
