- The flakes are smaller than those of goose down, so you need more to fill the blanket.
- The insulating effect of duck down is lower than that from geese, meaning more down is required, resulting in a heavier blanket.
- Duck down absorbs less moisture, making it less suitable for people who tend to sweat during their sleep.
- Down and feathers from ducks are also less flexible and durable. They don't last as long and thus provide slightly less comfort.
Customer story
For 35 years, we have had a down comforter from Fja-Oeyen. Last year, we had it cleaned again and took the opportunity to have it widened (which was also no problem). My children and grandchildren also know how wonderful it is to sleep under a genuine Oeyen down comforter. Good quality. Good investment.
