Genuine Siberian Goose Down is the world’s finest filling. It comes from a country with subzero temperatures so its warmth retention is exceptional. It is also finer, lighter, & softer than any other Goose Down. Our luxury duvets are filled with 100% genuine Siberian Goose down. To add weight & shape they are finished with luxurious Jacquard cotton & stitched in a box construction to prevent the filling from redistributing. Siberian Goose down is more thermal than Hungarian down, as Siberian geese come from a colder region of the world, thus making their down more thermal. What is thread count? Thread count refers to the number of threads, both vertical & horizontal, in a one-inch square of fabric. Thread count is affected by a number of factors, including ply & thickness of the threads used. The ply of the fabric refers to how many threads are wrapped together into a single thread. Single-ply fabrics use threads on their own, while two-ply fabrics twist two pieces together into a stronger thread, as well as doubling the thread count of the fabric. Using finer threads also allows for more thread to fit in a square inch. Finer thread often results in smoother, softer fabrics, part of the reason high thread count fabrics are considered more desirable than fabrics with a low thread count. Finer thread also results in a more fragile fabric, however, which may not always be ideal. Two-ply fabrics help solve this problem somewhat by strengthening the threads & creating a more durable, though heavier, fabric. The general wisdom is that a thread count of higher than 100 is desirable
- these fabrics are known as Percale
- with somewhere above 180 being ideal. While fabrics are available with thread counts up to 1000
