duvets!
After all, we won’t tear open the quilt cover to see what’s inside! You can't see much difference in appearance.
1. Black-hearted "players": using chemical fiber cotton and chicken, duck and goose feathers to pretend to be down quilts
This is the worst kind of counterfeiting and is easy to distinguish. In order to increase the down content, a large amount of chicken feathers are mixed into a small amount of down. But chicken feathers don’t keep you warm at all! Not to mention
chemical fiber cotton , just take it out and take a look.
2, novice "player": use flying silk to pretend to be a down quilt.
In order to reduce costs, many manufacturers will collect a large amount of crushed duck and goose feathers as fillers, such as those recycled from vegetable markets and old down jackets...these scraps are "flying silk". It looks very similar to down, so even if you destroy the duvet at home, you probably won’t be able to tell whether it’s real or fake.
Flying silk is also a counterfeiting method that has emerged in the down market in recent years. Although the raw material is still down material, it does not have any warming effect . They just grow on the goose. The down content of this kind of flying silk is measured by the instrument. It's 0, no wonder it's not warm!
Moreover, this kind of flying silk has been in dirty and messy places such as vegetable markets for a long time. Various smells, dust and bacteria covering the body are extremely harmful! The price is much higher than the first one. Some merchants even dare to bid up to 1,000 yuan, but some people still buy it ~
3. Intermediate "player": Use glue down or bleached down to pretend to be a down quilt!
The above mentioned are all old tricks, and the velvet content is extremely low. It is easy to be discovered by inspection personnel and cannot be sold at a good price. This group of "smart" businessmen have invented a new kind of down, called glue down . It uses glue down to pretend to be down, and it is difficult for experts to identify it.
According to relevant surveys, glue down is still in the market in 2017 Since the beginning of winter, the trip The first counterfeiting method discovered in the industry!
Isn’t it said that the down content of flying silk is very low? The warmth of the duvet depends entirely on the down. Then dip it into the original mixed down. After rinsing, adjust the water level When the water level is low, add 10% of the glue of half the weight of fake velvet. After stirring, soaking and drying, the original velvet content is 41%-55%, which is instantly increased to 88%! 2
is just a little bit of glue added to the original fake one! The down content can be increased so much. Then mixed with a certain proportion of genuine down, it can achieve a more realistic effect. Putting it on the market with a down content of 95% is not a dream! It’s easy to make huge profits on the Internet. Senior industry friends in Xiaoxuan said that many merchants can sell this kind of glue velvet. 1500 yuan.
However, after this kind of glue down is washed several times, a large number of feathers attached to the down will fall out and run out. As a result, the warmth retention of the duvet will become worse. , and may even cause formaldehydehtml to the human body 4Injury~
Even more "smart" is bleached down. However, there is no 100% pure white down in nature. There is heterochromatic down. It is normal to be doped in it ~
However, in order to satisfy consumers' misconception that "the whiter the down, the better" , merchants will add chemicals during the processing to treat heterochromatic down. Bleaching.
This operation will not only cause the down to become less fluffy and warm, but will also produce substances harmful to the human body.
4, this kind of counterfeiting method is advanced! It’s not that the above method can’t be sold at a good price, it’s that simple! Just use duck down as goose down .Anyway, I can’t tell the difference between duck down and goose down!
Do you think you spent 3,000 yuan to buy an goose down quilt and ? No, you are wrong, what you bought is actually a duck down quilt~
What is the ultimate indicator for measuring the quality of down? ——Fluffiness!
The quality of fluffiness mainly depends on the size of the pompon. Comparing mature goose down with duck down, goose down has long velvet and large velvet, so the fluffiness is higher and the comfort is higher. Therefore, the quality is better and the price is relatively expensive.
China Down Industry Association authoritative test data shows that goose down is generally larger than duck down, and the fill power is 50% higher than that of duck down, so the thermal insulation performance is better, but of course the price is higher.
With the same weight, the fluffy down on the right has better warmth
And did you know? Even if the down content of ordinary duck down reaches 95%, 1 kilogram is still nearly 100 yuan less than ordinary white goose down.
Senior industry insiders told Loulou that many manufacturers on the market, even first-line home furnishing brands, are operating in this mode.

You see, counterfeiting duvets is not only easy, but also low-cost. No wonder so many unscrupulous businesses have made a fortune by selling duvets.
How can you buy real down? Grasp these parameters:
As mentioned above, fluffiness is the core indicator that determines the quality of a down quilt. This is also something that many brands deliberately avoid. The industry indicators of fill power shown in the picture below are American Standard and National Standard. Sometimes the two standards need to be looked at together to see the tricks. For example, some products claim to have American Standard Fill Power. It has reached 800, but the national standard is only 22.6cm, which is suspected of exaggeration.
The following is a fill power comparison table. Friends in need can save it~
The higher the fill power, the warmer it is.
Secondly, look at the down content. 95% down content is already available on the market. After all, glue velvet can still achieve this velvet content.
The down of a good duvet is taken from the down on the breast of goose or duck, which is mainly responsible for keeping warm. The production and supply period are limited, so it is expensive. A good down quilt can generally achieve more than 90% down content.
Third, cleanliness and smell.
The higher the cleanliness, the less dust, and the higher the friendliness to the human body. Smell is an important indicator to judge the quality of down. Goose down has a much lighter smell than duck down because goose is a vegetarian.
Finally, it depends on the place of origin.
We still have to treat the matter of origin rationally. There is only so much goose down production in the world, and 80% of it is produced in China. There really aren’t that many foreign geese for you to import. What's more, China is still located in the golden producing area of 45 degrees north latitude. If you want to buy a good duvet, you have to buy it overseas or go abroad. It is very heartbreaking! The editor of
has been visiting the down quilt industry. After in-depth understanding, I was more shocked and deeply helpless. I dare not say that I am subverting this industry. I just want more people who pursue a better life to take less detours... The purpose may be to allow more people to be warmer and warmer in winter... Among them, they may be the elderly. , it may be our newly born babies, or it may be pregnant women who are about to give birth, but most of them are ordinary people like you and me, because we have the right to pursue a better life.
