Unique and Inimitable
Down is a true miracle created by nature. This result of mother nature’s technology is the best and most natural temperature insulator. It binds the most heat in relation to its weight and distributes the heat evenly around the whole body. Its airy structure also allows moisture to evaporate.
Safe choice for allergic
Cleanness and safety are important, especially in bedding, since we sleep almost a third of our life. As a sign of cleanness and safety, the Joutsen's down duvets and down pillows have been awarded the allergy label by the Finnish Allergy, Skin, and Asthma Federation. Joutsen does not perform any type of chemical treatment on the down – they only use a multi-phased washing and drying process which removes all dust, dander, grease, and animal-based proteins from the down.
Responsibly and Ethically produced
Only ethically produced down is used, that is a secondary product from the food industry. All down comes within the farms of EU, which provides good conditions for the birds. Finnish goose down and hand-collected eiderdown from abandoned nests are used in some of our bedding. Joutsen is a part of EDFA (European Down and Feather Association), which forbids its members to use down, that has been plucked from living birds.
