The warmest and softest... Goose Down Comforters by Togas

Remember how the most popular character created by Arthur Conan Doyle could identify 140 varieties of tobacco simply by looking at the ashes? For a Victorian detective, this was a professional duty.

What do you think of an item that is lighter than cigar ash such as goose down? How many species are out there and where is it currently used? Even Sherlock Holmes would be perplexed at such a question. In his time, geese were not at all rare birds only found in a petting zoo. In fact, they were not so hard to come across on the outskirts of London. Roast goose with apples for Christmas, goose feathers for writing, goose fat for healing, and goose down for unmatched featherbeds, pillows, and comforters.

The latter is still present in modern life. No matter how far science has stepped forward, according to independent expert estimates, goose down is more than twice as high in terms of heat to mass ratio than compared to that of all artificial fillers.

Nature has taken care of the waterfowl. Down protects these birds both from cold and overheating. The fluffs are like a snowflake. They have a small core, from where branches extend, connecting and forming a small elastic ball. Many adjoining fluffs create an air gap and provide high thermal insulation.

People have long borrowed this magical property for bedding. While we sleep, moisture evaporates from our bodies. The fluff absorbs it and allows it to go outside without hindrance, all while maintaining the temperature. The skin is neither hot nor cold at any time of the year, and this is the key to healthy sleep.

In general, there are about 40 species of geese that exist in nature, Dr. Watson would suggest. In the Togas collection, we utilize various kinds of goose down in a wide selection of comforters with this perfect filler to suit both Baker Street and Buckingham Palace residents.

«Orion» is an affordable comforter filled with premium gray goose down and feathers. It is perfect for all seasons. Natural filler is airy and elastic and was poetized in an old English song about an old lady and her two geese, Mr. Gray and Mr. White, who loved to hide in a ditch.

Yes, both gray and white down has been used in the household since the beginning of time. Moreover, white has a higher elasticity, hence its higher value. Siberian goose down, coping with serious frosts, belongs to the category of elite. This is the kind of filler used in the Royal comforter. The cover is made of cotton Royal Batiste. Certainly, the royal sleep under it is guaranteed.

The next in our collection is the Masurian goose that lives in the northern regions of Poland. Its extra-large, premium-grade down provides an ideal microclimate under the comforter. The name Kaiser implies the imperial level of quality. The nano-batiste cover keeps all the fluff inside, and the cassette stitch prevents the comforter from deforming.

The foothills of the Alps in Upper Austria have provided an exquisite filling for the Nobilis comforter. The soft and elastic white down of Austrian geese easily recovers after compression and is worthy of this name, meaning noble, illustrious, and aristocratic.

The listed options are only a small part of the expansive Togas collection. Perhaps one of them is waiting for you in order to warm you on a cool night and to protect your sleep from daytime misfortunes.
