Quality

For pillow and duvet spring, we always use 100 % pure, Oeko-Tex certified cotton in a good long-fiber quality that provides a strong, durable and flexible fabric. Natural filling is washed and heat-treated according to the standards in the DOWNAFRESH® certification, so it is guaranteed free of dustmites and other allergens. In 2020, we have decided that natural fillings in our own brands must also be DOWNAFRESH® greenLine certified, which will be implemented continuously in all our product lines.
