Why Hungarian Goose Down?

Hungary has been known for its geese for centuries, however they only became industrialised in the last 50-60 years. There are around 5 million breeding geese in Hungary, with the females producing about 50 offspring per year. Hungary’s climate with harsh cold winters makes it the ideal place for geese to grow thick down and feather, which has a uniquely high quality in comparison with the rest of the world.

The big difference between Hungarian geese and other geese is the size, Hungarian geese are approximately twice the size on average over other types of geese generally found in Asia. It’s because of this size that they are so popular as it makes for much larger down clusters and a higher filling power, making it the ideal fill to use in our bedding products. They are also a uniquely bright white colour as Hungary has a higher number of sunshine hours.

Hungarian Down also has higher recovery power than other down. Recovery power is a new measurement which indicates the down material’s ability to retain it’s shape, form and overall quality. Many factors attribute to why Hungarian Down has higher recovery power

• Special climate
• Free range breeding
• Green GMO free, fibre-rich feed
• Closeness of natural clean water

Down Comforter Fabric

We've recently upgraded the fabric used for all of our Hungarian Down comforters to compliment the Down's beautifully light softness. We're now using a 100% Cotton Sateen, 400 Thread count fabric. The sateen weave creates a fabric that is shiny, soft, and elastic with a beautiful drape. Sateen fabric is characterized by a soft, lustrous surface. It provides a casing that is very light and approximately 20% lighter than your typical 233-290 thread count fabric commonly used on other down comforters.

Sanitized® Mintactiv Fabric

Our Hungarian Down comforters now use Sanitized® Mintactiv to protect against dust mites, allergies and odour.

Product Care

For optimum performance of your comforter, we recommend you air it for 1-2 days before use. To help keep your comforter fresh and puffy it is recommended that you fluff and air frequently. It may be hand washed in warm, soapy solution so long as it is rinsed well and you do not wring it out. It is important to dry without delay using frequent agitation and ensure the fill is completely dry. The best way to achieve this is using using a tumble drier on the warm setting. It is also drycleanable. This information can be found on the care label attached to each product we offer.
