800 Fill Power Down Comforters

What Is Fill Power?

We have two types of answers for this - the simple one and the technical one.

Simple One = Fill power is a measure of how 'fluffy' or 'lofty' down is. The higher the fill power, the more it traps air, and it's trapped air that keeps the sleeper warm.

Technical One = The actual test involves weighing and filling a cylinder tube with 28.4 grams of down. A specially calibrated weight is then placed on top of the cylinder and its weight is slowly allowed to fall onto the down for 60 seconds. The tester will observe the markings on the side of the cylinder where the weight stops. The higher the fill power, the loftier the down is and the better an insulator it is. This test is performed again 24 hours later and the results are compared and averaged. The typical fill power is approximately 500 and can reach as high as 800 or more in premium bedding or special sleeping bags. As fill power increases, the value of the down goes up significantly.

Fill power can be influenced by a variety of factors including: sitting in transit, humidity, temperature, static electricity and timing issues. It is very common that high fill power bedding is sold where it is made because it does not travel well overseas. Hence some of the best white goose down comforters come from our factory in Cincinnati, OH.

Why Choose A High Fill Power Comforter?

A common misconception about fill power is that you need a high amount (700 plus) to be considered good. In actuality the higher the fill power the less in physical weight you need of it to maintain a given warmth level. For those consumers who want that cloud like feeling - a high fill power down comforter with a luxury fabric like batiste cotton is the way to go. Consumers who have never used a down bedding product before should avoid high fill power options until they realize how warm down can keep you - yet feel so light
