Size and measuring down duvets

When using natural raw materials such as cotton or natural hair, differences in size can also occur. Furthermore, the three-dimensional shape of our products makes size measurements more difficult. Nevertheless, we believe that the absolute size is not the main criterion, but rather the interaction with you, your body, and, last but not least, your bedding.

Perpetual shrinkage in cotton

Our fabrics are generally pre-shrunk. And although the shrinkage behavior of cotton is asymptotic, it never completely stops. We are aware that the associated bedding is washed much more often and is therefore subject to further shrinkage, and therefore we determine the sizes of our products so that they will fit together with your bedding over its lifetime.

Measurement method for determining the size of down duvets

According to the EN standard, one end of the side to be measured is firmly anchored, and a force of 10 N is applied to the other end to stretch it. Then the measurement is taken. The construction of the blanket creates a three-dimensional shape, depending on the amount of filling. We manufacture our products as precisely as possible, but never smaller.
