A guide to knowing what products to buy…

Fill Power

Fill power is the measured loft or fluffiness of down filling and is related to the insulating value, the quality and size of the cluster of the down. The higher the fill power the greater the loft and as a result, the more air pockets and more insulating the down will be. Makoti only use down with the best Fill Power and as a result, their duvets and pillows are the softest, lightest and warmest on the market.

Tog Values

Tog value is an industry term for measuring the warmth of a duvet but has nothing to do with the quality of the down or feathers used. Typically, it offers a comfort rating against temperature. Makoti achieves the lightest and softest products in relation to the tog on the market.

Comparing Fillings

Generally, goose down is regarded as superior to duck down. Goose down is lighter and has higher fill power, made possible due to the goose down clusters being larger than the duck down clusters. Feathers, however, are larger, heavier and more rigid, having fewer air pockets to retain the warm air and is, therefore, a poorer insulator. Feather fillings are also uncomfortable as the quills pierce through the duvet or pillow fabric.

Choose an investment in rest

For less than 50c per night, it is simply not worth buying anything other than an authentic Makoti Down Duvet. Every duvet is sewn with the utmost attention to detail and is edged with piping. The baffled construction of Makoti duvets ensures optimum warmth and comfort. Every compartment is sealed at just the right size so that the down remains evenly spread throughout the duvet.

Beware of feather mixed fillings that are heavy and have quills that pierce through the duvet or pillow.

Furthermore, Makoti duvets are washable. The company also offers a remaking service and will often remanufacture duvets that return home after more than 20 years of service. All down products further carry the NOMITE label, ensuring that they are ideal for allergy sufferers. The Nomite Quality Mark is an internationally registered trademark of the European Down & Feather Association (EDFA). Manufacturers that document their pillows and duvets meet the criteria of PAS 1008 of the German Institute for Standardization.
