Why choose a natural down comforter
We are frequently asked what sets a natural down comforter apart from a synthetic one. Both are light and capable of warming the body, but only down has characteristics that exceed the mere ability to retain heat. In fact, a down comforter doesn't just warm; it also helps to regulate the temperature of the bed and, consequently, the body. In addition to this essential property, the down comforter also has the ability to keep us dry from the humidity of the bed and body, thanks to its hygroscopic properties, meaning it absorbs sweat or excess moisture in the bed. This helps eliminate the "nighttime veil effect," where you constantly uncover and cover yourself during sleep to regulate your body temperature, thus improving sleep quality. Additionally, remember that down is a 100% natural and biocompatible product.
Can you use one comforter all year round?
Down has an excellent ability to adapt to different body temperatures, even when they vary. It’s simply a matter of choosing the right weight or, better yet, the right warmth levels suited to the climate you live in. For example, those living in the mountains with less intense heating will need a thicker comforter, while people in city or coastal areas can opt for a comforter with a lower warmth coefficient.
Additionally, we have an item that works very well for continuous use: the so-called 4-season comforter. This model consists of two comforters, which can be buttoned together. The 4-season option includes a very light comforter suitable for the warmer season, especially for those who use air conditioning and are prone to joint or neck pain, and a second comforter for the colder season. If necessary, in extremely cold conditions, both comforters can be combined for a super snug effect without the heavy feeling that traditional winter blankets often give.
Is a down comforter forever?
Do you have an old comforter that you've kept for years at the back of your closet and are very fond of? Despite its age, that doesn't mean the comforter should be discarded. On the contrary, a high-quality comforter is a great investment that is meant to last a long time. Simply fluff it up, air it out (avoiding direct sun exposure), cover it with the usual duvet cover, and place it back on the bed. However, if the comforter is in poor condition, made with low-quality feathers and fabrics that are falling apart, it might be time to say goodbye and invest in a new, more comfortable and high-performing one.
Remember, a good rest leads to good sleep, and consequently, a good awakening filled with energy and good mood.
