Öko-Tex 100

The Öko-Tex® 100 standard was developed at the beginning of the 1990s as a reaction to the need among consumers and the general public for textiles which pose no health risk.

Test institute: Oeko-Tex Zertifizierungs GmbH, Germany

Origin

Area of cultivation or geographical origin of feathers, down and natural fibre. The origin allows conclusions on the properties (length, colour, fineness, etc.).

Piping

The piping is a string braided with a top-quality, decorative yarns which is sewn into duvets and pillows as an edge reinforcement.

Plain weave

This can be recognised by the frequent cross positions. By weaving finest cotton yarns, the fabric pores can be kept so small that neither feathers nor down can penetrate them. This property is particularly suitable for very tight fabrics and cotton and is the simplest and also tightest crossing of warp and weft threads. Every warp thread is alternately once on top of and once underneath the individual weft threads.
