We all know that a goose is a bird, so what is Goose Down and more importantly.

What is a Goose Down Comforter?

The small feathers on the breast of the Goose are known as the “Down”. These are the softest feathers on the bird and also the warmest. In fact their main purpose is to keep the bird well insulated and warm. Wing feathers are more important for flight. A Goose Down Comforter is a comforter filled with Goose Down.

What then is a Siberian Goose Down Comforter ?

Siberian Goose Down Comforter is a comforter that is filled with the Down of a Siberian Goose. Siberian Geese are their own specific breed of geese and not just Geese that live in Siberia.

And what’s so special about the Siberian Goose ?

Think about Climate for a minute, especially the Climate in Siberia. It’s one of the harshest in the world. So for a Goose to survive that cold it needs to be very well insulated indeed. A bird needs to fly and in order to do that weight needs to be kept to a minimum.

Therefore, the Siberian Goose has evolved with feathers and down that is exceptionally warm and light, hence the expression, Warmth Without Weight. A Siberian Goose Down Comforter is thus a comforter that is light and warm, and, when encased in top quality Egyptian Cotton, the result is a Comforter of Total Luxury.

Let me enlighten you on a little secret about Siberian Goose Down… It is ALL marketing HYPE!!

Siberia is not a point of origin for commercial white goose down, as far as I know (along with many of my colleagues in this industry). In reality, the majority of goose down comes from China… making most all of what is on the market fall into the lowest grade category around!

Siberian goose down is merely a trade name that some clever marketer came up with a long time ago. They did this because of the extreme cold weather and vast regions that make up what we all know as Siberia.

But come on, give me a break… do you really think that geese can be reared in those conditions with no high quality sources for food or shelters? Ummmm… NOPE!

You may have heard about a Siberian Goose, well this is a migratory wild bird that leaves when it gets very cold. The wild goose is a colorful one, made up of black and red plumage… not white or even grey!

Be careful if someone tries to sell you a “Siberian Goose Down Comforter” as the filling contents could have originated from anywhere in the world!

You now know what to ask about when determining quality. Remember… Fill Power (must be high), Turbidity (must be high), Net Down Content (must be high), Oxygen Number (must be LOW)!
