Soft and comfortable, the quilt is essential when you want to make sure you get a good night's sleep every night.

Warm, but without creating the feeling of warmth, comfortable, but not too heavy, the right quilt can turn your bed into a cloud of comfort.

Equally important is the pillow you choose. Whether you need a firm one or a soft one, you have to take into account a number of factors when deciding which one is suitable for your needs.

But what amount of fluff is suitable for a good night's sleep? Here, filling power and personal preferences help you make a decision.

What is fill power?

Filling power is the number that expresses one of the most important qualities of a natural down product.

Fill power measures the space an ounce of down will occupy in cubic inches. A higher filling power means that the quilt will have a higher quality and will keep its firmness longer.

This is because a higher fill power means the down can trap more air, which allows for better insulation.

A quilt with a higher filling power will be lighter, but at the same time, it will better maintain a pleasant temperature in your bed.

Most of the natural down products now available on the market have a filling power that varies depending on the type of product, and the most common values ​​are: 650, 750, 800

With the help of this value, you can find out how suitable your new quilt will be for your sleeping style.

What is the filling power for pillows

A high filling power means a superior quality pillow, which will keep its properties and firmness longer. That is, you will be able to use it for many years, without the feeling it gives you changing. Your pillow will be just as comfortable and will retain all its benefits, if the filling power is high.

DO NOT use fill power as a "measure of firmness", 800 fill power down pillows are NOT firmer than 650 fill power down pillows.

However, the 800 fill power pillow is of superior quality and will be able to be used for a longer time.

The level of firmness (ie soft, firm, extra firm) is determined by the weight of the filling, adjusted by the amount of fluff inside the pillow.

That's why you will notice that HappyNest goose down pillows have different weights depending on the level of firmness.
