Superior 900+ Fill Power
Muscovy down has the exceptional ability to achieve true 900+ fill power. That's comparable to even the highest quality premium goose down!
Fill Power Explained
Down quality is measured by fill power, which indicates the size of down clusters and their ability to trap air. The higher the fill power, the less down that is needed to achieve the same temperate rating as a lower fill power bag. The less down, the lighter the product!
Typically, fill power ranges from 550 to 900. The grades of down are categorized as high quality (550-650), performance (650-750), and premium (750-900), with premium down being the lightest, warmest, and most expensive.

Cleaner than Other Duck Downs
Our Muscovy down undergoes a unique, patented Ultrasonic Washing process and exceeds the industry standard for cleanliness (2X the US standard for hypoallergenicity)! This innovative process ensures our down is exceptionally clean and completely odor-free.
Uses Less Water & Energy
Because the patented Ultrasonic Washing Technology cleans down more effectively, the process uses 20% less water and energy through fewer rinse cycles, resulting in a high performance down that is not only cleaner, but more environmentally friendly as well.

Free-Range Birds
Muscovy down is a byproduct of the food industry, but unlike battery-farmed ducks, Muscovy birds are ethically-raised in open, free-range environments with access to water.
Mature Ducks = Mature Down
Muscovy ducks are raised for 90-100 days, far longer than typical ducks (raised for just 40 days). This longer lifespan means the birds are able to mature, resulting in higher-quality down clusters that are larger, more stable, and more resilient.
-
Bigger Plumes
The more mature the duck, the bigger the plume! Due to the longer breeding period of Muscovy ducks, they produce plumes that are as large or larger than those of geese.
-
Stable Clusters
Muscovy down has an inherent "clinginess" comparable to Eider duck down, meaning each plume has the tendency to "grab on" to another, which creates more stability within each baffle and reduces shifting.
-
Faster Compression Recovery
Muscovy down clusters are exceptionally resilient, meaning they "spring back" quickly for greater loft capabilities and faster compression recovery.
