Atlas weave

The atlas weave is one of the basic weave types in addition to the twill weave and the plain weave. Atlas weaves can mostly be identified at first sight by their smooth, seemingly untextured surfaces and their brilliance. Both are created by evenly distributed crosses which form a ridge of twill.

Batiste

This is a cotton fabric which is thinner than Nm 80 in plain weave.

Bramscher Tuch

The experience of more than 100 years of textile tradition, best raw materials from select sources and state-of-the-art production methods make Bramscher Tuch a quality product in its own league. "Bramscher Tuch" is a trademark and a seal of quality today as it was in the past.

Cambric

Fine threaded, tightly woven cotton made from combed cotton. The yarn is woven into a plain weave and is used for down duvets. The yarn thickness ranges between Nm 70 and Nm 100.

Cassette Duvets

Duvets where the filler is in three-dimensional pockets; these have small interconnected interior tie bars on the top and bottom of both inlet layers, or in between them, which allow a larger filler and are therefore used to produce warmer duvets. The exterior edge is finished with a piping or with an exterior tie bar.

Cotton

A regrowing raw material for growing demands. It is robust against any kind of wet treatment (boiling and tumbling), can absorb up to 65% of its own weight without dripping and is also hardly electrostatic. In addition, the fineness and softness prevent skin irritations and it has temperature balancing properties. Overall a unique fibre which is perfect for bed linen. Cotton, or “gossypium” as botanists call it, belongs to the mallow family and originates in a wide range of countries; it blossoms and flourishes wherever tropical or subtropical climates exist, from parts of the US to Brazil and Egypt and all the way to China or Australia. The most important quality feature is the so-called staple length which can vary between an average of 18 and 42 mm. The longer the fibre, the better the quality. It is worthy of note that the longest and finest fibres have the greatest strength.

Daunasan® / Downafresh®

Daunasan® and Downafresh® are brands of the European Down and Feather Association. They certify that the filler material complies with EN 12935 (hygiene and cleanliness requirements for feathers and down).

DIN CERTO

DIN CERTCO certifies all aspects (products, services, specialist companies, staff, etc.) in the area of compliance assessment.

Down and Feathers
<

A bed must warm up quickly and at the same time be able to transport humidity. This is exactly the strong point of feathers and down. Their secret is quite literally in the air. Thanks to the special structure of feathers and down, capillaries and air bubbles are created in the duvet. Air, known to be a very bad heat conductor, provides the bed’s insulating effect. As additional benefits the great elasticity or filling power and the hygroscopicity must be mentioned. Down and feathers can absorb humidity and transport it away from a sleeping person. This natural humidity regulation ensures a comfortable dry sleeping climate. By the way, all you allergic persons out there, remain unconcerned, despite any assertions to the contrary. Comprehensive examinations have shown that feather and down duvets do not play a part as a place of location nor source of food for house dust mites.

Down

Down is a very light flake which grows under the outer protection feathers of geese. From a faintly implied down core, bushels of uncounted light, fluffy filaments grow which provide the end product with volume, wad strength and a light weight.

Down content

The down and feather content of a filler must be stated on the label. This is carried out in steps of 10% in decreasing sequence; filler materials with 85% feathers and 15% down (former “half down”) are excluded.
