Alexandra Jordan Comforters
Superior Quality Down Comforters
Down is the lightest best insulator known to man. Nature has designed it to help maintain optimum core body temperature by transferring heat away from the body when the air outside the down layer is hot, and by holding in heat when the air outside is cold.
Our comforters use only an industry leading 90 % white goose down fill that is hypoallegenic, with a 700 fill power. With almost no large feathers, but rather a high quality superior insulating down is used in our comforters fill. Our comforters can achieve the same level of insulation as thicker, heavier comforters while offering a lighter fluffier feel, and weight.
We also use only high quality materials and construction in the makeup of our comforter covers. We use only high thread count 100% cotton, down proff material for durability and comfort. We use double stitched seams that wont rip apart. We use a baffled box construction that eliminates cold spots by keeping the down evenly distributed within the comforter.
What to consider when shopping for Down Comforters.
The finest quality Down Comforters will have a fill power of at least 600. They will have baffled wall construction, with a high thread count, 100% cotton cover. They will provide lightweight year round warmth.
Fill Power
The measurement of the quality of the down. The higher the fill power, the fluffier the comforter. The benefit is that less down is needed to fill the comforter, resulting in lightweight year round warmth. Look for down comforters with a fill power of at least 550. More luxurious quality down comforters will have a fill power of at least 600.
Down is the lightest, most effective insulator known to man. Down clusters are made up of light, fluffy filaments that expand and intertwine to form air pockets. Down is a natural product that regulates warmth and allows you to maintain your natural body temperature.
Construction
Baffle Wall Construction - The finest quality Down Comforters will be of baffle wall construction. Baffling or baffle wall refers to sewn in cloth walls which help keep the down from shifting and preventing cold spots.
The true Baffle Box Construction has thin fabric wall channels that connect the comforter top and bottom. This allows for the down to be held in place allowing for maximum loft, less shifting and the elimination of cold spots for greater warmth.
Hypo Allergenic - Down that has gone through a series of steps to remove all the impurities, dirt and dander, will be noted as hypoallergenic or allergy free. Most people are not allergenic to down, but rather, to the impurities within the down. Not all Down Comforters are hypoallergenic.
Thread Count - The number of threads per square inch of fabric. The finest quality Down Comforters will have a 100% cotton cover with a thread count of at least 200. The higher the thread count, the more durable and softer the cover. The higher the thread count covers protect down from impurities as well as keeping the down inside the comforter.
Comforter shells must be woven of a down proof 100% cotton fabric of at least 220-thread count. Our Extra Warmth down comforters are 400-thread count .
100 % Cotton Covers - A cotton cover will be breathable, lending to the insulation and fluffiness of the comforter.
