You might not like Godiva more than Hershey chocolate but Godiva is using higher quality ingredients and it's certainly more expensive. Godiva is great chocolate but Teuscher chocolates of Switzerland and their champagne truffles are extraordinary. Still chocolate but significantly higher quality ingredients, much more expensive than Godiva, requiring much greater skill to source and manufacture.
So, all chocolate isn't the same. All goose down isn't the same either and the differences can be just as extreme as chocolate. The fill weight is different for each pillow density, or thickness, for each pillow size; standard, queen or king and each fill power. Unfortunately, we get a lot of emails requesting the number of ounces used to create a given density thickness ; soft, medium, firm or extra firm. I have yet to speak to a customer that understands how or what they are comparing to make an informed decision, much less compare fill weights from one company to another, when they know the number of ounces for a given density or thickness.
Fill power represents the size and quality, loft and how long a pillow will retain its firmness. The higher the fill power the higher the quality, the higher it will loft and the longer it will "retain its firmness" i. However, the fill power pillow is higher quality and will last longer.
Firmness i. For example, our standard soft fill power pillow contains 14 oz. Fill power represents quality, loft and how warm a down comforter will sleep. The higher the fill power the higher the quality.
The higher the fill power the higher your down comforter will "puff up" and loft. They will loft the highest, last the longest and sleep the warmest.
Fill power represents quality, loft and longevity. Fill power is a very important factor for an item like a feather bed given that all your weight will be compressing the down clusters underneath you for, hopefully, 8 hours. The larger the down cluster the higher the quality. The higher the quality longer it will retain its loft and firmness. DO NOT use fill power as a "measure of firmness", fill power down feather beds are NOT firmer than fill power down feather beds.
However the feather bed will last longer. We use a double-shell design for our down pillows to further enhance the longevity of your down pillows. We use a baffle box design for our down comforters so that the down clusters are free to reach their maximum loft and fluffiness. As a consumer you should be looking for both the highest quality down, determined by using fill power, but also be looking for a design to allow the down fill to reach its maximum loft.
The design that allows down to reach its maximum loft is a baffle box design like all of our premium down comforters and feather beds save the classic. A baffle box design allows the down, not the feathers we don't use feathers in any of our down comforters to reach their maximum loft thus providing you with the maximum amount of insulation to keep you cozy warm at night.
We have chosen these designs because they are the most efficient designs for allowing the down to reach its maximum loft. The difference here is amount of fill in ounces. All season duvet inserts have more of the same high fill power down than their lightweight compatriots, making them warm enough for frigid winter nights without being heavy and suffocating. This allows the down to reach its maximum loft, but keeps it all from sliding to the bottom.

Fill power is a number that helps indicate the quality of your down product. You would find that this term is often used for down-filled products such as- duvets, comforters, jackets, and pillows.
Fill power is directly related to the size and proportions of down clusters in your duvet, which tends to be higher for goose down if compared to duck down.
When you might be thinking of down fill- the first thing that comes to mind could be Canada Goose. Am I right? Yes, down does come from Geese- it is the light, airy and fluffy coating found under the visible feathers of these birds. It is also expensive to find which is why you may see find that down-filled products are expensive.
Fill power comes from several lab tests that measure the cubic inches of loft per ounce that down fill produces. The better the fill power of your down product, the better will be the quality of the product. If a product has to fill power , it means that one ounce of down feathers takes up cubic inches. The more the down is per cubic inch the more air is trapped- this helps make your down-filled accessory warmer. As the air pockets trap the heat and slow down the rate of heat loss from our body, keeping you warmer and cozier for longer.
Loft helps measure the fluffiness of your down-filled product. It can be defined as the number of cubic inches filled by an ounce of down. Loft od down is one of the most important factors that determined the price of your down merchandise. Down is reputed to be super compressible and the best insulating material out there.
The higher the quality of down fill, the better will be the loft after compression. The warmth of the duvet also depends on this- as it provides more heat-trapping space within the down fill. Fill power and loft are both terms used to measure the efficiency of the quality of your down-filled accessory. Loft of down can range from to cubic inches per ounce. Loft of down can be one of the most important factors that determine the price of your down-filled product.
The higher the loft in your duvet, the long-lasting it will be. Down products usually have good endurance and can last very long, probably like forever- if taken care of properly. Well, they help you understand the quality of insulation and also tell you a lot about the warmness of your quilt.
When you sit on a down cushion or slide under a down comforter, you'll notice a difference right away. Down filling tends to be softer and will compress as you add weight onto it. But it also tends to return to a normal spot. That's because the clusters possess loft and are naturally designed to return to their original shape. Which is f illed with premium-quality Canadian white goose down fill, and boasts loft. It also provides exceptional insulation while being ultra- lightweight.
Considered the finer and more luxurious option, goose down pillows also carry a higher price point, as the materials used to create them are not as readily available or easy to find.
