A goose duvet is a fantastic way to keep warm and cozy in the cold nights of the winter season. A good proof of this would be that geese migrate regularly to the coldest areas of the world, and they have nothing to keep warm in the cold winds, except feathers. Based on this, you will learn that the feathers, which are used to make downy goose blankets, are absolutely good in providing comfort and warmth.
There are various types of goose down that can be used to fill a duvet cover. The warmest among the different species would be the Hungarian goose. You might think that penguin feathers would be the best choice, I would agree with you, but using such feathers on a sheet would be impossible. When we look at the most commonly used type of feathers on duvets at the moment, white goose down will be the answer.
Since duvet covers are made of different materials, the comfort and warmth that they can provide can vary greatly. In fact, a system called the tog system is used to evaluate blanket covers. The Tog system is used to increase the level of heat that a certain cover of the duvet cover can offer. The higher the rating for the duvet cover, the more heat it can offer. Please note that the tog system is used only in Europe, especially in the UK. The American system can be compared with how down jackets are scaled.
When you want to enjoy the warmth and comfort that your duvet cover can offer, you need to keep it in its original state, cleaning it when needed. Now cleaning can be quite difficult for blankets. When you clean these sheets, you must make sure that the feathers inside them do not run out, because this will lead to their loss of ability to effectively retain heat. Compression will also cause the blanket to take much longer to dry when you dry in the air. When you wash the sheets, never use a tumble dryer or high-temperature wash, as this can damage the feathers. To be safe, read the cleaning instructions included with your sheets so that you do not compromise their quality.
