Our Fabrics—Simply the best.We live in an era where technology can replicate virtually any sound or site imaginable. Yet despite these advancements, technology has never been able to replicate the inherent warmth and longevity of down. It remains the standard by which all other insulators are measured. Small wonder it’s universally recognized as nature’s best defense against the elements—as well as your best guarantee of a wonderfully warm night’s sleep.
- What is Down?
Contrary to popular belief, not any feather is considered true down. Authentic down is painstakingly harvested-often by hand-from ducks, geese and similar water fowl. The down feathers are located underneath the bird’s main feathers. They look like little cotton balls with a round center called a plumule. Each plumule has thousands of tiny fibers emanating from its core. As these fibers link to others, they create air pockets, which insulate by trapping heat to keep the ducks and geese warm. Because down is primarily found on the bellies and chest of birds, it only comprises about 12-15% of the birds overall feather weight. Unlike regular feathers which repel water and are therefore unwashable, down is fully washable. This is why many people allergic to feathers, have no reaction to down. Thanks to down’s ingenious bit of natural Thermodynamic Engineering, waterfowl can comfortably weather the foulest weather and temperatures. While down has enough natural inherent benefits to fill a website of its own, we’ve chosen the ones most critical to your purchasing decision. As you read the following, you’ll begin to understand why buying a quality down product is a worthwhile investment.

How many cubic inches a compressed ounce of down will occupy (loft) after it’s decompressed. As a rule, the higher the fill power, the better the quality –and warmth, because down works by trapping air. This means that a higher quality comforter can weigh less than a heavier lower quality one, yet still provide more warmth—not to mention lightweight comfort. GRADES: |

COMFOREL— CLOSEST SYNTHETIC FILL TO DOWN.
Key to the process…critical to your warmth Another key component are the “baffles”-the “partitions” inside your Down product which utilize special mesh walls to ensure the down stays in sections and won’t clump or spread unevenly. As a rule, we mostly employ baffled box design comforters, which provides for more lofting-and therefore more warmth-than conventional stitched down comforters.
As soft as cashmere, as smooth as silk... bamboo sheets are today's luxury bedding choice. It seems strange to those who haven't slept on bamboo sheets or tried other bamboo fabric products, but when bamboo grass is spun into fabric is quite literally is like a blend of cashmere and silk. People all over the world are switching from cotton to bamboo sheets and bedding... once you try it, you'll never go back. Bamboo Dry Wicks away moisture keeping you comfortable and dry. Bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world, mainly because it has extraordinary water absorbency which helps it to grow fast. In fabric form it retains this unique, remarkable property. It’s 3-4 times more absorbent than cotton. It 'wicks' away moisture from the body which then evaporates, keeping you - naturally - drier and more comfortable. When combined with 'Bamboo Thermo-control' qualities, you have an incredibly flexible addition to your bedding. Thermo-Control Bamboo is remarkably breathable. In the heat, bamboo is naturally cool to the touch and this property is maintained in its fabric form. The cross-section of the bamboo fiber is filled with various micro-gaps and micro-holes. It has much better moisture absorption and ventilation. It's also very warm in cold weather, because of the same micro structure; as a base layer, warm air gets trapped next to the skin. Bamboo Fresh-Antibacterial Bamboo is antibacterial, antifungal and anti-static. In the wild, bamboo thrives naturally without using any pesticides or fertilisers. It is seldom eaten by pests or infected by pathogens. Why? Scientists found that bamboo owns a unique anti-bacteria and bacteriostasis bio-agent named "bamboo kun". This substance bonds tightly with bamboo cellulose molecules during the normal process of bamboo fibre growth. This natural feature is retained in fabric form. Organically grown bedding made from bamboo has particular natural anti-bacterial functions, bacteriostasis and deodorization value. Its test results shows over 70% death rate after bacteria was incubated on bamboo fibre fabric. In addition, tests by the Japanese Textile Inspection Association found that, even after fifty times of washing, bamboo fabric still possessed these functions. Therefore all our products are guaranteed to be odour resistant, staying fresher for longer, because the fabric – naturally - stops bacteria from spreading. As a result, they’re also healthier and more hygienic. For sensitive or allergy prone skin, bamboo is perfect -Lack of harsh chemical treatments which can irritate skin -Fibre is smooth and round, so is a non-irritant -Naturally occurring, antibacterial ‘bamboo kun’ resists the spread of bacteria on the skin without any adverse affects, such as abrasion or irritation.
Silk has set the standard in luxury fabrics for several millennia. The origins of silk date back to Ancient China. Legend has it that a Chinese princess was sipping tea in her garden when a cocoon fell into her cup, and the hot tea loosened the long strand of silk. Ancient literature, however, attributes the popularization of silk to the Chinese Empress Si-Ling, to around 2600 B.C. Called the Goddess of the Silkworm, Si-Ling apparently raised silkworms and designed a loom for making silk fabrics. The Chinese used silk fabrics for arts and decorations as well as for clothing. Silk became an integral part of the Chinese economy and an important means of exchange for trading with neighboring countries. Caravans traded the prized silk fabrics along the famed Silk Road into the Near East. By the fourth century B.C., Alexander the Great is said to have introduced silk to Europe. The popularity of silk was influenced by Christian prelates who donned the rich fabrics and adorned their altars with them. Gradually the nobility began to have their own clothing fashioned from silk fabrics as well. Initially, the Chinese were highly protective of their secret to making silk. Indeed, the reigning powers decreed death by torture to anyone who divulged the secret of the silk-worm. Eventually, the mystery of the silk-making process was smuggled into neighboring regions, reaching Japan about A.D. 300 and India around A.D. 400. By the eighth century, Spain began producing silk, and 400 years later Italy became quite successful at making silk, with several towns giving their names to particular types of silk. The first country to apply scientific techniques to raising silkworms was Japan, which produces some of the world's finest silk fabrics. Other countries that also produce quality silks are China, Italy, India, Spain, and France. China was the largest exporter of raw silk in the early 1990s, accounting for about 85% of the world's raw silk, worth about $800 million. Exports of China's finished silk products were about half of the world's total at about $3 billion. Silk is highly valued because it possesses many excellent properties. Not only does it look lustrous and feel luxurious, but it is also lightweight, resilient, and extremely strong—one filament of silk is stronger then a comparable filament of steel! Although fabric manufacturers have created less costly alternatives to silk, such as nylon and polyester, silk is still in a class by itself.
