Eiderdown. Of all the different varieties of down available, there is nothing in the world that even approaches the warmth and softness of genuine Eiderdown. Eiderown is warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer, and more comfortable than anything else known to man. Eiderdown is so incredibly lightweight that it is literally like sleeping under a warm cloud. It is the best. St. Geneve Eiderdown is hand collected from the birds' nests at Eider Duck sanctuaries on the St. Lawrence river in Quebec, Canada, in a special relationship that has existed for generations between the Eiders and the local farmers. St. Geneve Eiderdown Comforters are are also available in Dual Zone to allow for differing warmth requirements. Contact us for details on this option.
These items are custom made to order and usually ship in 4-6 weeks.
The birds are not disturbed and are actually attracted to these safe areas because of food supplied by the down collectors. St. Geneve imports from Germany a lightweight 340 thread count Tencel lyocell and cotton cover that is woven especially for Eiderdown. No downproof fabric is lighter, and it is the perfect match.
It carries the symbol for German Quality Assurance, the Oeko® certification of purity, and SanProCare® which certifies that it is considerably more breathable than any other cotton. And of course it is permanently downproof. We handsew the duvet in our special sealed baffle box construction. Eiderdown tests at approximately 700 loft, but because of its phenomenal density and cling, it insulates at an amazing equivalent of 1000 loft. This down carries the Zurguard® certification to be Hypoallergenic.
