Welcome to the laboratory, a factory within the factory. Here, the raw materials are tested to ensure quality through so-called spot tests. This process is done by hand to verify the quality of the raw materials.
The down is separated from the feathers. A feather consists of 360g of feather and 40g of down. The feathers are heavier than the down, which means the finest down remains in the air chamber after the filtration process.
The raw material undergoes an initial cleaning to remove dust residues. It is then washed an additional 7 times with water and soap—three times in warm and four times in cooler water (50-60 degrees).
Next, it’s time for drying, which takes place in a 130-degree silo. During this process, it is also sterilized. Finally, there is a so-called dust removal step to eliminate any remaining dust after sterilization.
In a nearby building, we find the sewing department.
Here, all exclusive down products are handmade. The fabric that envelops the down in our bolsters is made of 100% cotton and is OEKO-TEX® certified.
Our products are also certified with NOMITE, ensuring that our duvets and pillows can be used by people with dust mite allergies. Additionally, the extensive special sterilization of down and feathers during washing creates an unfavorable environment for the development of mites.
The high thread count creates a barrier that makes it impossible for mites to enter the down.
Our fluffy duvets are then filled (to height!) using a machine that could be described as a reverse down vacuum cleaner.
Achieving the perfect fluffiness level was a significant challenge during the creation of Happy Fluffy Cloud and is now a process with absolute millimeter precision, where each bolster is filled with an ultimate mix and amount of feathers and down.
The feathers contribute to height and resilience, while the down creates warmth and softness. Our two duvet models are constructed in different ways:
A down bolster with a channel-stitched frame on the outer edge. The seams are sewn after the down and feathers are evenly distributed. The midifluff also contains less filling, making it cooler.
A large down bolster that lacks channel stitching, yet the down stays in place thanks to the right amount (plenty) of filling. The idea here is that you can distribute the down to where you want more warmth.
