Selection is the essence
The selection of the best natural raw materials and careful craftsmanship are our essence and our commitment.
In order to obtain a product of excellent quality, a correct selection of raw materials is key. Our team, formed by people with long experience in the pen world, selects the best raw material, ensuring demanding quality standards, which provide our products with unique characteristics.
From our innovation laboratory we continuously experiment with new fabrics, fillings, designs and finishes with the sole purpose of evolving and providing our customers with the best down comforters and pillows on the market.
Fabrics
The quality of a comforter or pillow is not only defined by the inner filling, the fabric is a determining factor for a complete experience. Only with high quality fabrics is it possible to obtain the best down product.
For our fillings we only use the best quality fabrics, safe and resistant, extremely soft and pleasant thanks to their peach touch finish.
Fabrics with high moisture absorption and elimination capacity promote a dry and healthy environment. This property, together with a high yarn density, ensures an effective natural barrier against dust mites.
To ensure that the down or feather does not penetrate, it is necessary to use fabrics with a high thread density, and also to provide a correct downproof finish to ensure this.
We select 100% long staple cotton, as well as different blends of cotton with Lyocell and natural silk.
The research and development of new alternatives also allows us to offer technical fabrics such as MicroTech®, a new generation fabric that is light, soft and absolutely breathable.
All our fabrics are suitable for dust allergy sufferers and are OEKO-TEX® environmentally certified.
Fillers
No other material is comparable to down as a filler, its qualities are unique and so exceptional that it is the lightest and most effective natural insulator in existence. The behavior of its tiny filaments forming perfect air chambers, are able to effectively regulate temperature throughout the night, providing a pleasant and incomparable comfort.
But not all downs are the same, the best down is the one with the largest volume, the larger the down flake, the greater the volume and the greater the number of air chambers formed between them. This means that the larger the size of the down, the less quantity is needed to achieve a certain volume in the comforter and therefore less weight. Between two comforters of similar volume, the one that weighs less is of higher quality. The origin of the down is also a determining factor in quality, the best are those from Europe and Canada. On the other hand, down from Asia is much smaller and heavier, offering lower fill power values.
To obtain the best result, and because not all products require the same type of down, we select and combine different qualities according to their size, fill power and origin. Ferdown selects down mainly from France, Poland and Hungary, as well as exclusive down from Siberia and Canada.
A good comforter should be filled with down, not feather. It is, however, an effective material for providing support for pillows and toppers that need a balanced firmness that feather offers effectively thanks to its elasticity and impeccable resilience.
Finishes
The applied techniques and finishes are details that add quality and differentiation to our products. The careful handcrafted process of manufacturing and finishing of our garments, together with the quality of the raw materials, make the difference.
Double stitching with a vivid, external border, kassetten system with internal partitions for maximum volume and insulation, as well as velvety finishes on the fabrics, are key to the final result of the product.
Our exclusive anti-displacement kassetten manufacturing system ensures a perfect distribution of the inner filling throughout the comforter’s lifetime.
Prepared by
Technology and tradition
One of the foundations of our philosophy is the firm commitment to the application of the most advanced technology in the service of innovation and manufacturing.
Thanks to our production system, with machinery developed in more than 70% by our R+D+i department, as well as fully automated filling stations, the status of each production stage is controlled in real time, from the beginning of the process to the shipment of the product, thus favoring agility, speed and safety in customer service.
We take care of every aspect and every step of the production process to produce the best down comforters and pillows.
Efficient processing
As important as the selection of the down at source, is to provide the correct treatment. For this purpose, the feather and down are subjected to an exhaustive process of sanitization, which ensures their perfect suitability for use as filler.
Secure procurement
Only with reliable suppliers who guarantee a consistent, homogeneous and constant quality supply, it is possible to provide products with the best properties and of the highest quality. Our approved European suppliers guarantee the efficiency and safety of our raw materials, allowing us absolute control over traceability.
Constant control
All our efforts to offer the highest quality must be confirmed by continuous controls at each stage of the production process.
In our integrated laboratory, materials are subjected to different tests to verify their quality.
Technology and tradition
Our R&D&I department strives every day to improve and optimize each stage of the production process. This constant concern for innovation, combined with processes that, to this day, continue to be handcrafted, provide unique products of guaranteed quality.
