The most comfortable duvets are the warmest and lightest. You will notice the fill weights are lower because the downs we use have tremendous insulating power and puff up to be very thick, yet very lightweight. This is made possible by our expertise in design and the choice of mature downs with high loft, density, and clinging ability.

All our luxury style down proof coverings are made with genuine Egyptian Species Cotton, which are milled in Germany. Germany is world famous for weaving the finest down proof cloths, and we have had a long relationship with one of Germany's best mills. This mill has been making down proof ticking for generations. They have the expertise to weave and finish fabric that is very lightweight and soft, yet will remain down proof for decades.

For the finest duvets, nothing less will suffice.

A Tradition
There is an old Scandinavian tradition that when a woman married, her parents would give the couple a new down filled duvet and pillows which would have been made by her mother. Part of this tradition had the mother sewing a new coin into the duvet before the final finishing, for good luck all of their days. When we make a duvet, we do the same thing. St.Geneve down filled duvets all have a coin sewn in it, in the same spirit of good wishes.

The Inside Story
There are several pieces of a puzzle that all contribute to the quality of down bedding. These are the down filling, the fabric covering or ticking, the design, and the workmanship.

While your customers may not be interested in all these facts, this Website will give you the confidence in knowing what the true differences are between low, medium, and high quality down products.
