Caring for Eiderdown is surprisingly simple. Because the down lacks the fats and oils found in goose down, it does not attract dust mites or odors easily. We recommend airing your duvet outside on a dry, breezy day once or twice a year to rejuvenate the fibers. It does not require frequent washing. In fact, we recommend a professional gentle cleaning only every 5–10 years to maintain its loft and integrity.

Eiderdown is not a commodity; it is a rarity. While goose down is mass-produced in the millions, Eiderdown is a wild resource harvested entirely by hand. It takes an experienced farmer hours to sustainably gather enough down for just one duvet, as we must wait for the ducks to leave their nests naturally. Furthermore, Eiderdown possesses unique "clinging" properties that trap air more efficiently than any other material, offering unrivaled warmth with virtually zero weight. When you buy Eiderdown, you are investing in an heirloom item designed to last 20–40 years, far outliving standard bedding.

Yes, absolutely. We consider ourselves guardians of the Eider duck, not just farmers. The down is harvested from the wild nests at our sanctuary in Sveinseyri only after the mother and her ducklings have naturally abandoned the nest at the end of the breeding season. No birds are ever handled, plucked, or harmed. We protect the nesting grounds from predators, creating a symbiotic relationship where the ducks return to us safely year after year.

No. We provide a complete "White Glove" delivery service. We personally handle all necessary paperwork, including the U.S. Fish & Wildlife import permits and customs clearance. The price you pay at checkout is final—there are no hidden fees, duties, or surprise tax bills upon delivery. We ship via DHL Express to ensure your duvet arrives safely at your door.

It is all about "cohesion." Unlike goose or duck feathers that separate and fall apart, Eiderdown clusters have microscopic hooks that bind them together (like Velcro). This creates a continuous, unbroken layer of insulation that traps warm air without the need for heavy bulk. This allows the duvet to be incredibly light while providing superior thermal regulation—keeping you warm without overheating.
