What is the best duvet filling you can buy Does 100 percent Siberian goose down exist or is it a marketing con Are these geese protected These are claims from retailers what's the real truth?
I can tell from experience, I was showing our Siberian goose down filled products as well as other products from our store and at the end of the show myself and my 2 coworkers, we took some of the pillows and started pillow fighting as a joke and then the other vendors got into it and started ryling us on and it got serious...so serious that I took one of our Siberian goose down pillows and hit the the guy who works with me upside the head (595$ pillow) and the pillow exploded...Siberian goose down everywhere it was hilarious these little poofs of feather because down is a protein derivitive of the goose feather, we were all laughing and swallowing down at the same time. up until then I had just sold the product and taken the vendors word for it. it was all white and fluffy and you could tell why they charged so much for the stuff. By the end of the show there was down in a fifty foot radius in every direction of where we stood. I am going to shameless plug though, I own a 100year old store in west palm beach fl. called Pioneer Linens, My name is Alan Murphy J and that is a true story. Yes, it does exist - the truth is that Siberia does have geese farmers who look after geese who are primarily kept for their down as it truly is excellent down. The truth is also that geese do fly and so when people say that there is no such thing as Siberian goose down it could be that the goose is from an area close by and this is where they get the claim that there is no such thing as Siberian goose down. Most duvet companies who sell Siberian goose down sell them as their luxury range as Siberian down is of the highest quality. Once the down is collected is it inspected by experts who will then only collect the very finest down clusters for their Siberian duvets. if you are looking for a duvet of distinction which is Siberian then I would recommend Kauffmann duvets who create their duvets in Austria where there are stringent rules and regulations for quality and the environment. Kauffman no 1 and Princess of the Night are both Siberian goose down and although, expensive they truly are luxury duvets which will last for over 10 years. I can guarantee that once you have slept under Siberian goose down you will know the difference and you will not want to sleep under anything else.
