ロフトについて
ロフト」とは何か?

ロフト(フィル・パワーとも呼ばれる)とはダウンのふわふわ感を表す指標です。ダウンはガチョウやアヒルの羽毛の下にある柔らかくふわふわした下地です。

羽毛は鳥の外側に生えるもので、中央の羽軸から繊維が伸びている。ロフトは羽毛には適用されない!
良いロフト」とは?

一般的に、ロフトは1オンスあたり300~1000立方インチの範囲にある。

良質とされるロフトは 550ドル前後からある。
ダウンのロフトが高ければ高いほど、1オンスあたりの断熱性は高くなります。これはダウンのクラスターが大きいほど、より多くの熱を閉じ込めることができるためです!

ダウンのロフトを測定するには、プレキシガラスのシリンダーでテストを行います。このテストによって、1オンスのダウンが何立方インチを満たすかがわかる。このテストは正確な温度と湿度の条件下で行われます。これにより、ダウンはそのポテンシャルを最大限に引き出すことができるのです。

洗濯洗剤のようなものだと考えてほしい。
ハイロフトダウンは濃縮洗剤のようなもの。低ロフトダウンは普通の洗剤のようなもの。
160回の洗濯に必要な濃縮洗剤は4Lだが、同じ回数の洗濯に必要な普通の洗剤は8Lだ。これは、4Lの洗剤の方が洗浄力が高いため、同じ洗濯回数をこなすのに必要な量が少なくて済むからだ。

価格 ダウンの品質は羽毛布団の価格を決定する最も重要な要素です。ロフトが高ければ高いほど、羽毛布団の価格は高くなります。

Lorie day
Hi Lorie, As far as the support level you need, I can't say for sure. That is highly subjective and varies based on personal preference, body size and shape, mattress support level, etc. Back sleepers tend to need some moderate support that provides cushioning for the head without propping the head up too much. I would guess that a Medium down pillow will work best for you, but unfortunately it's not an exact science. Whichever option you try, you can send it back to us to have fill added or removed to change the support level if it's not quite right.
As far as the various down pillow options, it just depends how much you're looking to spend on down quality (loft) and fabric softness (thread count), and if you want to pay a premium for goose down. I would recommend a lower loft, lower thread count pillow. Most people don't need to splurge on a top-of-the-line pillow to get the comfort and performance they need. Things like loft and thread count don't matter as much in pillows as they do in duvets. A pillow shell doesn't move around as much as a duvet shell, so a starchier, crisper pillow shell should not be very noticeable. Loft doesn't really affect the support level of a pillow, but it does affect the weight of a duvet. I hope this helps!

Could you tell me how the Canadian loft value compares to the UK tog value.
Bodile Streeten
Hi Bodile, Tog is a warmth rating. You can compare tog ratings to our warmth ratings of Summer, Regular, All Season and Winter.
Loft is a measure of the insulating properties of down, but loft alone doesn’t tell you the warmth of a product. You have to look at both loft and fill weight to determine that. For example, a low loft down may not be super warm per ounce, but if you put lots of it into a duvet, you can create a very warm product! Tog ratings and our warmth ratings take into account both loft and fill weight.

I’m glad to read that last comment on the same duvet I bought. Mostly because it was so light, and I haven’t used it yet so I’m worried it won’t be warm enough. But when I wrap it around me just because it’s light doesn’t mean it’s not warm! It’s nice and warm.
So I think I’m going to put it on my bed now instead of waiting till fall!
But I’ve had a great night sleep every night since I got my 850 loft pillow! That was money well spent. I’m thinking I’m gonna buy another one but at 550 loft for a pillow that way it’s a little firmer.

I love my pillow! Been having great sleeps ever since I got it. Haven’t used my duvet yet. Waiting till fall. Still using my old duvet. Getting my moneys worth out of it. Lol

This is such an amazing article. I loved reading this.

We purchased a Hutterite 850 loft-500 duvet(all season) . I was worried realizing it was so light.
We purposely sleep in a cool room temperature.
It was fantastic. The bedroom was at 15c or 59F. The duvet kept us warm the entire night.
We don’t even wear Chanel no 5 to sleep.
Thank you.
