goose-v.JPGOver the years differents studies have been done to determine why the geese fly in this particular formation. It has been determined that the geese flying in this formation have a lower heart rate and are able to fly farther with less effort than if they were to fly solo. The one that is in the lead encounters the most wind resistance and thus will tire more quickly. When he needs to rest, he will drop back into formation and another will move up to the lead position. The ones at the back have the same problem. So they move up to the middle when they need to rest. In time, each of the geese has the opportunity to lead and enjoy the ease of the middle position as well. They reach their destination more quickly and don’t tire so easily.  By working together, they all benefit.

You can benefit as well when you visit Sleepy Down Comforters. the best down comforters made from the best down. See for yourself.

Domestic Geese & Ducks

geese_015.jpgGeese and ducks are delightful birds that give their owners much pleasure and enjoyment.  They are very easy to take care of and are especially responsive to children. Over time they become very trusting of their owners.  Ducks come in a variety of breeds and sizes. They can vary in size from as small as a pigeon to a large bird up to 12 pounds in weight. Geese can be  useful as well as good friends. Their loud “honk” makes them useful as guard animals. They can be used to keep the grass “cut” too, (since they do their part to fertilize the lawn as well). Ducks and geese alike need to have an enclosed living area to protect them from outside predators. Keeping the breeds pure ensures that some of the older breeds of waterfowl will be preserved for generations to come.  The best goose down comforters come from the best goose down.  Keeping the breeds pure ensures the goose down is of the finest quality too.  Take a look at Sleepy Down Comforters to see the best that we have to offer in goose down bedding.

Spring time is here and as we open our windows to smell the fresh air, let’s not forget that the cleaning and redecorating has to be done as well. Also let’s not forget to clean that down comforter and down pillows. You see they should be cleaned professionally every 3-4 years. Proper care keeps them fresh and beautiful for years to come. Never wash or dry clean down. Harmful chemicals and soap will destroy the oils in the down. This will leave your down products flat. Always have your down products cleaned by a down specialist.

Goose Down vs Duck Down

It is generally accepted that goose down is better than duck down. Better in that it provides more warmth with less weight; it won’t weigh you down as it keeps you warm. This is possible because of the larger size of the goose down clusters as compared to the duck down clusters. The added size brings with it added strength.

Fill power is determined by the number of cubic inches occupied by 1 ounce of down, whether it is goose or duck. The higher the fill power the better the quality. This is one area where it makes no difference  - duck is just as good as goose. But don’t take our word for it. Find out for yourself.  You’ll find nothing beats the feel of a down comforter.

down pillows

Historically, pillows were used mainly by the wealthy and have been found in Ancient Egyptian tombs.  The difficulty of sophisticated dyes and sewing techniques lead to the development of pillows as an art form, with highly decorated pillows becoming prized commodities, first in China and later in Medieval Europe. The Industrial Revolution saw the mass production of decorated textiles and decorated pillows. Traditional Chinese pillows are often hard boxes made from stone, wood, metal, or porcelain instead of stuffed fabric.

These days, pillows are often made of foam, down or a synthetic mixture.  Down pillows are often thought of as the pinnacle of luxury and are available at varied prices.

down comforters

Choosing comforters doesn’t have to be a daunting task. The paramount of these sheets are down comforters. Goose down is incredibly insulating, while still lightweight and breathable, which is why bedding made from goose down is such a popular choice.

There is a wide variety of down comforters available, ranging from those made with duck down and feathers to those made from synthetic down alternatives. Of all the down comforters, though, goose down is the most luxurious. Goose down grows thicker and in bigger clusters than duck down, resulting in a higher-quality comforter and have virtually no smell at all.

Different types of geese have different types of down and create different types of comforters. Siberian goose down is considered the best and has excellent thermal qualities. Eiderdown comes from Eider ducks of Iceland. In keeping with the extremely cold climate, Eiderdown is the warmest and most luxurious.

For those with allergies, hypoallergenic goose down comforters are available. Hypodown comforters, for example, are made from a mix of Hungarian goose down and milkweed. In the end, you’ll find that the search for the perfect down comforter is a well-received payment with an actual good night’s sleep.
