Gooseblin quilt 's purchasing guide has been updated for 5 years every year. I really didn't expect that I could stick to it
Of course, it is also your support and trust. Everyone's comments and feedback are my motivation to continue to deepen.
down is the best natural warmth material. Its absolute advantages can be summarized in one sentence: light as air with warmth, as light as air and as warm as sunlight.
pictures are from down gold net. The warmth, lightness, breathability and moisture rebate of down quilts are the best among common quilt core materials. The technology of
goose quilt quilt has not changed for nearly a hundred years. The main improvements are still focused on the quality of velvet, fabric anti-fleece resistance, velvet locking grid design and filling volume changes.
- For example, with the advancement of technology in handling velvets, the fluffiness of velvets has improved to a certain extent, from the rare early 600 bulbs to 800 and 1000 now;
- Also, in terms of fabrics, in addition to high-strength high-density fabrics to prevent running velvet, also needs to be silent, soft and skin-friendly, and low-priced requirements also force domestic manufacturers to constantly explore new anti-feather fabrics, but it seems that they have not found a way to achieve the best of all.
- In addition to the quality of the velvet and the amount of velvet filling are positively correlated with the warming performance within a certain range, and heating, floor heating, central air conditioning, air conditioning, etc. are gradually popularized in many places, which also makes the indoor temperature in winter not as low as before. Therefore, accordingly, the air conditioning is launched , heating quilt, spring and autumn quilt and winter quilt. The design of
- locking grid is more common in squares, bread and other special-shaped designs. The filling amount of local locking grid increases and decreases, achieving the purpose of local rising and cooling. The vertical lining structure and invisible velvet locking grid are also helpful in improving the anti-friction performance.
1, down river
my country is a major producer and exporter of down products (including down clothing, sleeping bags, down quilts and down pillows, etc.), but not a major consumer country. In recent years, as people learn more and more about down products, their living standards are getting higher and higher, and the processing technology of down products has improved, the domestic down products market has begun to rise.
The world's four major down product consumer countries: the United States, Japan, Germany and France. Two major down products producers: China and Hungary. I have sorted out about 50 down brands in Europe. Currently, not many have entered the domestic market, so many brands are not well-known in China. The early ones include OBB, SANDERS, Brinkhaus, BALETTE (has been acquired by OBB), BILLBECK, hanskruchen, etc., as well as FRETTE, SFERRA, PRATESI, HASTEN, etc. that entered China with high-end imported home textile brands.
my country's down production areas are mainly in Lu'an, Anhui, Xiaoshan, Zhejiang, Wuchuan, Guangdong, Guigang, Guangxi, and Jilin, Northeast China. According to the data from China Down Gold Network, there are nearly 857 domestic down feather companies and 90 down products manufacturers. These are different from the down duvet brands we often see on the market.
2022 Detailed parameters of nearly 100 down products
In recent years, the world of down quilts in China is still a purely imported, domestic pioneers, old domestic, new brands and home textile sub-line (the form is originally created by me. If it is different from your perception, please feel free to communicate in the comment area~)

2, duck down and goose down
down includes duck down and goose down. In terms of species, , goose down is better than duck down, goose down, goose down is larger, , goose down is evenly distributed on the branches of goose fur, the rhombus section on duck down is larger, and concentrated at the end of the small branches, so goose down can produce a larger distance space and have a higher fluffy. The national standard requires that the content of duck down in goose down products with a content of 85% velvet content be less than 15%.The gap between duck down and goose down I have actually seen may not be that big. Duck down and goose down are mixed together, and it needs to be distinguished by instruments.
Duck down, goose down and chicken down
From goose down or duck down, the factors that affect quality also have different goose or duck varieties, as well as growth time - generally speaking, The higher the latitude, the larger the velvet, . The world's four major goose velvet origins: Canada, Hungary/Germany, Poland and China, and is in terms of the average quality of down, Siberia >Canada>Hungary/Germany>Poland>China.
The longer the growth time, the bigger the fluffy . But it is not that the longer the better. Because goose down and duck down are generally by-products of meat , domestic meat duck meat goose will not wait until it is "old" before slaughtering. The cycle of ducks and geese in my country is generally 8 to 12 weeks , is mostly captive ; while ducks and geese in Europe and Canada are mainly free-range, eating goose in autumn is a European tradition, and the delicious foie gras has to wait until the geese grows to more than 8 kilograms before they become more plump. This is also one of the reasons why the domestic down volume is large but the high-quality down is relatively small.
The picture comes from China Down Gold Network. The longer the growth time, the better the goose down quality
When people consume, they don’t need to blindly pursue goose down —One of the reasons is that duck down is cheap and goose down is more expensive (95 white goose down is about 700 yuan/kg, 95 white duck down is about 400 yuan/kg, goose down is 75% expensive.); the second reason is that the current down processing technology, duck down can also be tasteless; high-quality duck down is not lower than ordinary goose down.
Reason 3: The amount of duck down is large. The output of duck down and goose down in my country is about 6:1. After all, the consumption of duck meat in my country is much higher than goose meat. Otherwise, where did so many duck neck , duck wings, roast duck, sauce-board duck... Everyone is pursuing goose down to avoid duck down, and the price of goose down products is getting higher and higher. So where can duck down with larger output goose down?

3, fluffy degree concept and development
1, fluffy degree unit
cm, cuin, in3/30g, cm3/30g, A~AAAAA, these are all units that represent fluffy degree. Fill power appears to distinguish the warmth of different down products, and the more fluffy the more warm the more it is. But in fact, the concept of fluffiness became popular in the 1970s and 1980s. At that time, reaching 650~700 ponies was the top-quality fluffiness (you can highlight this advantage when advertising), and it reached 725 in the 1990s, and it was still around 800 in 2000. However, the fluffiness of 900 has emerged in a very short time.
This is not because of the improvement of varieties or the increase in feeding cycle. One of the main factors is the improvement of down process in finishing, cleaning and drying. Another factor is the change in the fluffy standard. For example, when testing the fluffy, the steam reduction method is used (higher than the test data of the oven method), and the sample weight has been from 28.4g to the current uniform 30g.
The fluffy tests are different for different down standards
2. The conversion between national standards and US standards
The national standards divide the down product grade into five types according to fluffyness according to fluffyness. The conversion ratio with the US standards and daily standards is roughly as follows: Many of the fluffyness on the data of some details pages are written casually. Please judge if there is a test report.
is converted according to GB/T 10288-2016, the national down standard, the US standard and the daily standard. Down jackets refer to this standard. The conversion table of IDFL under
is relatively lagging, and the latest national standard fleece detection sample has been changed from 28.5g to 30g. The testing standard for down quilts is QB/T 1193-2012, which is still used GB/T 10288-2003, so when converting the fluffyness of down quilts, refer to this table.The conversion of national standards to US standards, Japanese standards and European standards under different detections under
IDFL. The down quilt is referenced according to this standard.
2, down content and down content
Why not follow the down content? There are two reasons: one is that the velvet content includes velvet, velvet and other reasons; the other is, the velvet content is positively correlated with fluffyness. The national standard allows a 5% difference between the velvet content and the velvet content, which means that if the velvet content is marked as 95% velvet content, the velvet content must be greater than 90.1%.
Difference between velvet content and velvet content
Generally speaking, the higher the velvet content, the higher the fluffy. The true 90% velvet content is more than 750 buoys.
The relationship between velvet content and fluffy
3, why is fluffy so important?
Some brands dare not identify their true fluffy at all. . . Many of the 25cm, 27cm, 800cuin+ on the details page are for the sake of good looks - so in our opinion, all product details pages are 95% fluffy 800 (25cm), so I can't tell if there is any difference.
saw a friend's feedback. The details page was marked 25cm (AAAAA), but the screenshot of the test report was only 18.7cm (AAAAA). As a result, the brand quickly deleted the screenshot of the test report on the details page.
detection report is the actual one. It doesn’t matter if the fluffiness is a little lower, after all, the price is a little cheaper, right? But false labels involve false propaganda.
4, What is worth buying down duvet in 2022?
I said so much before I entered this year's recommendation, because my original intention was not to give a "reference answer". Everyone will copy homework, but to popularize some down products knowledge, deepen everyone's understanding, and facilitate everyone to make their own judgment. In the future, in the domestic down product market, everyone's consumption concepts will become more rational and the market will develop more and more vigorously.
1, Tmall and JD Double Eleven schedule
This year's Double Eleven schedule, JD and Tmall arranged pre-sales and a good start before the peak of Double Eleven. JD's pre-sales period was 4 days and 2 hours longer than Tmall's pre-sales period. Moreover, this year's Double Eleven is early from 0:00 on the 11th to 20:00 on the 31st (it is said to be to take care of the work and rest of middle-aged and elderly people 85 years ago)
This year's Double Eleven JD and Tmall event schedule (the official also has pre-sale payments and preheating, etc., which is too complicated and has no record)
During the event, the merchant's activity price was basically locked at the lowest price since August. The merchant's activity methods include limited-time flash sale, cross-store full discount, shopping money, member coupons, deposit inflation, fission coupons, live room coupons and full gifts. And JD and Tmall platforms will also give out a wave of benefits when the Double Eleven event is the most intense, and the 10% off platform subsidy coupons will be given. The platform's subsidy is not within the merchant's insurance price range~ So don't rush to wait until the Double Eleven day to buy it, which is the most worth buying~!
2, recommended products at different prices
selected several brands of "core models" according to different price ranges. Some are series that have been going on for several years, and some are newly launched this year (home textile brands generally look for OEM processing, so the products will be adjusted every year.)
3, different thicknesses of
down quilts include summer quilts/air conditioning quilts/heating quilts, spring and autumn quilts, winter quilts, thickened winter quilts, different thicknesses are the differences in filling amounts. Everyone must choose the right thickness according to the indoor temperature in their home~ For general judgment, please refer to the following:
- summer quilt/air conditioning quilt/heating quilt is generally filled with 50~80g/square meter, suitable for with heating, homes with floor heating, or air-conditioned rooms in summer, to prevent large temperature differences and colds at night;
- spring and autumn quilt is generally filled with 80~150g/square meter, suitable for most of the country do not turn on air conditioning, and winter in southern coastal cities.Or when using air conditioning/central air conditioning, it will be very comfortable to add a small blanket on it if you feel it is cold.
- winter quilt is generally filled with 200~250g/square meter, suitable for families with no heating, floor heating or central air conditioning .
- thickened winter is generally filled with 260~300g/square meter, suitable for people who are very afraid of cold .
