We offer five warmth levels that vary according to the weight of the fill in ounces (as shown on our comforter pricing page). We suggest you choose a comforter that seems like the best fit for your climate or season, your bedroom temperature, and whether you are a cold or warm sleeper. Remember, when choosing your down quality, 750 fill power down has about 15% more warmth than 650 fill power down.
Our Mountain Air down comforter has a beautiful loft, similar to the warmest comforters of northern Europe. However, they are very warm and best suited for bedrooms in the coldest climates or during winter with the thermostat turned down. Consider these if you say, “I’m always cold!” Our Canadian Winter weight, shown below, is available by special order only at 828-963-4144 or 800-833-3696.
If you are uncertain, choose one weight lighter than what you think you may need. We can add down to your comforter if it is returned to us within 6 months of purchase, but we cannot remove it to make the comforter lighter. We do charge for the additional down added and for return freight. Please call for a return authorization to help us identify your comforter on its return.

Our original cambric fabric, which we’ve used and trusted for over 40 years, has long been one of the most popular downproof fabrics in Europe. We use it for comforters in all warmth levels. However, if you are considering a lighter weight comforter, then consider our range of batiste fabrics. A batiste weave creates an even finer and lighter fabric than a cambric weave, making it perfect for our lighter weight comforters, such as our Florida and Southern Light weights. The chart below compares each of our downproof fabrics and their associated warmth level comforter.

One estimate of the quality of down fill is a measurement called "fill-power." Fill-power is a commonly used term to describe the down's ability to loft and trap air, expressed in cubic inches per ounce of fill. For example, a 650 fill-power down means that one (1) ounce of down will expand to reach a volume of 650 cubic inches. This means that comforters with a higher fill-power down will have a somewhat greater loft and warmth. We estimate, for example, that a 750 fill-power down comforter would be approximately 15% warmer than the same weight comforter filled with 650 fill-power down. See our FAQs for more information.
And fill-power is also generally reflective of the overall quality of the down. A higher fill-power result from having larger down clusters, fewer broken clusters, and fewer fine feathers (one of the reasons why DeWoolfson uses its higher-quality down fills in the finer batiste fabrics). Of course, higher quality goose down comes from healthy flocks in cooler climates, good farming practices, better techniques in down washing and sorting, and careful transport and handling of the fill. Down with larger clusters tends to retain its loft longer over time.
All DEWOOLFSON down fills are responsibly sourced, all-European down that is washed, sorted, and tested in the USA. Please allow 1 to 3 business days for your comforter to be filled, finished, and shipped from our North Carolina plant - weather permitting.
