World Renowned Down
All down is not created equal. That is why Northern Feather Canada makes it a priority to source and use only the finest quality down available.
Down quality depends on the size of the down cluster’s ability to expand in volume (or “loft”) to fill the available space (“fill power”). The higher the fill power, the better it will insulate.
What is Down?
Down is an incredibly lightweight cluster of soft, thread-like filaments that come from the underside of ducks and geese. Its superb ability to trap warm air, while allowing fresh air circulation and moisture absorption, makes it an ideal choice for ultimate year round comfort. Down also has the ability to breath, absorb and disperse moisture. Air circulates freely around you, maintaining your optimum body temperature, and keeping you comfortable in the summer and cozy in the winter.

Eiderdown
Eiderdown is one of the rarest down in the world. A few thousand of these quilts are produced annually throughout the world, and we are a major producer of them. The prime importance of eiderdown is the ability that eider ducks have to regulate their body temperature under different climatic conditions. The female eider ducks pluck down from themselves and use it to build their nests during breeding season. When the nestlings are ready to fly and the birds leave the nest, the down can be collected by hand. Each nest usually supplies about 20 grams of down, this means that eiderdown is a very rare, raw material.
A true eiderdown quilt is the best and most intelligent investment that can be made. Our Eiderdown goes through specialized NF5 cleaning and conditioning process to make it hypoallergenic.
Muscovy Down
Our Muscovy Down comes from ducks living wild and free in Siberia. It is processed in Germany to our exacting standards to be incorporated in our manufacturing process at our plant in Delta, BC. It is an excellent down, representing the best available in the world from birds living in an essentially free environment. With its high fill power and traits similar to eiderdown (large down clusters and no detectable scent), Muscovy Down is preferred for bedding products of discerning consumers in Moscow. Our Muscovy Down goes through specialized NF5 cleaning and conditioning process, making it hypoallergenic.
Siberian Snow Goose Down
Sourced from geese that inhabit Siberia’s coldest regions, Siberian Snow Goose Down has more loft due to the large white clusters and is carefully selected for its warmth and supportive benefits. This allows our duvets to keep you warm all night and our pillows to support your head, aligning it to your shoulders to give you the perfect position to improve your sleep. Our Siberian Snow Goose Down goes through specialized NF5 cleaning and conditioning process to make it hypoallergenic.
