Transparency Is the New Luxury: Sleep Easy with Ducko Down

There’s a reason down has been used as a filling for duvets and pillows for not only decades but centuries. Its natural ability to retain warmth, while remaining light and breathable makes it one of the most comforting materials to sleep under. Generations have turned to down for its softness, durability, and ability to adapt across the seasons. A material that certainly does stand the test of time.

At Ducko Down, the tradition of working with pure duck down goes back to the late 1970s, when the family-run business began on a farm in Kroondal. That same farm is still home to the entire production process today, and the values of craftsmanship, care, and sustainability remain at the heart of everything they do. Be inspired with Ducko Down.

Each duvet and pillow is hand-filled with 100% pure duck down, or a feather-down combo, encased in breathable, down-proof cotton. This results in a product that’s entirely natural and built for long-lasting comfort. These soft, natural materials aren’t just good for sleep; they also support a sense of calm and wellbeing in the home. It’s a subtle, sensory kind of luxury, made up of gentle textures and earthy tones that help create peaceful and restorative spaces.

Because duck down is biodegradable and long-lasting, it’s a more environmentally responsible choice than synthetic alternatives, especially when sourced with care. Ducko’s down is locally and most importantly ethically sourced absolutely NO live-plucking is practiced, as the down is sourced as a by-product of the food industry. This approach supports responsible farming practices and makes use of what would otherwise be waste. Their commitment to sustainability goes even further: old duvets and pillows can be remade or refilled, helping reduce waste and extend the life of well-loved items.

By keeping everything from the filling to the finishing on the farm, Ducko not only reduces its transport footprint but also supports the local community. In a world of mass production and throwaway culture, there’s something deeply reassuring about knowing exactly where your bedding comes from, and that it was made with intention, by people who care.
