Down & Cotton proudly offers responsibly sourced down that meets these standards, aligning with your values.

Enhancing Comfort with Sustainable Materials

High Fill Power Down Explained
High fill power down is the secret to bedding that feels cloud-like yet offers superior warmth. What does this mean for you? It means light, airy duvets that trap heat more effectively, keeping you cosy without the weight. The higher the fill power, the less down needed to achieve the same warmth, making your duvet light and loftier. Consider bedding from Down & Cotton, where high fill power is a standard.
Breathability and Temperature Regulation
Imagine bedding that adapts to your body’s temperature. Breathable duvets and pillows ensure you stay comfortable year-round. These materials allow air to flow, preventing overheating and night sweats. Temperature regulating bedding is perfect for those who wake up too warm or too cold.
