Larger down: An important indicator of the quality of down is its fluffiness. As far as the comparison between mature goose down and duck down is concerned, goose down has longer down, larger down, higher fluffiness and higher comfort, so the quality is better and the price is relatively more expensive.

Fullness of down: Generally, the growth period of goose to maturity is at least 120 days, while duck is 60 days, so the down of goose is fuller than that of duck.

Fluffiness is better:The goose down has smaller atrophied nodes on average, while the duck down has larger atrophied nodes and is concentrated at the end of the smaller branches, so the goose down can produce a larger distance space, better fluffiness and stronger warmth.

Better resilience, goose down has better curvature, finer and softer than duck down, better elasticity and stronger resilience.

The odor is light: geese are herbivorous, ducks are omnivorous, so the odor of goose down will be much smaller, and there is basically no odor when handled well, while duck down will have more or less some odor.

The right duvet set

When choosing a duvet cover, it is recommended to use a cotton cover, the fabric is a little thicker, do not choose the kind that is too smooth, especially polyester, because the duvet itself is relatively light, if the fabric is very slippery, it does not fit, and the duvet will slide inside the cover.

How to solve the problem of not fitting the duvet

In order to prevent the down from drilling, the fabric is generally hard, so it shows the phenomenon of unconformity, and it is recommended to use a thick cotton cover, which will make the goose down comforter more conformable.

Generally, there are buckles or straps on the four corners of the inside of the comforter and cover, and the comforter and cover should be fixed when using the duvet, which can improve the sense of fitting.
