Loft, or Fill Power, is the standard measurement of down quality. Measurements and Fill Power is determined by placing an ounce of down in a container. This is done to measure the volume it acquires. The volume is calculated in cubic inches. You would often see numbers such as 600, 700 and 800 Loft specified on our products. This specifies that the Fill Power is 600, 700 and 800 cubic inches. An ounce of down that occupies more space is better than an equivalent amount occupying less volume. Therefore the higher the Fill Power, the higher the quality of down.

Hypodown is Hypoallergenic: Goose down can cause allergic reactions in some people. It is not the down that does this, it is the dust particles remaining on the down after washing and processing. Our Hypodown comforters and pillows are guaranteed by the manufacturer to be hypoallergenic. This is accomplished by combining syriaca clusters (commonly known as milkweed) with the down. The syriaca clusters enhance the natural properties of the down as well as stabilize the components that cause people to suffer down allergies from their comforters. These comforters contains 80% Hungarian goose down and 20% syriaca clusters.

Note: Hypodown has been tested in the offices of Allergy and Asthma Doctors in the United States and Europe. These tests prove that most people who are allergic to down can use Hypodown without reactions.

Syriaca clusters are hypoallergenic and stabilize the components in down that cause allergic reactions when used as fill in comforters. Syriaca floss is a natural hollow fiber that is hypo-allergenic by itself. When syriaca floss and goose down are combined, the floss traps and suppresses the dust and dander to which some people have allergic reactions to. These clusters actually enhance the natural properties of down and are a fantastic fill for comforters and pillows. Syriaca clusters are cleaned and separated from the pods through mechanical action and air. No chemicals are used. It takes 800 pods to make one pound of Syriaca clusters.

The down and syriaca in these comforters is the cleanest, least treated fibers we could find anywhere. The down is de-dusted and gently washed up to 8 times in an environmentally friendly cleansing solution and rinsed three times. This cleaning process and renders the down pH neutral. These are the most hypoallergenic down comforters we could find - due to the quality of materials used, cleaning process and the addition of the natural syriaca clusters.
