The Ultimate Guide to Danish Eiderdowns: Everything You Need to Know About Goose Down Quilts

Choosing the right quilt shouldn’t feel like guesswork—especially when you’re investing in something as personal and important as your sleep. If you’ve ever searched “best down quilts,” “Danish Eiderdowns Australia,” or “goose down quilts Melbourne,” chances are you’ve stumbled across the name Danish Eiderdowns—and for good reason.

Known as the Rolls Royce of bedding, Danish Eiderdowns have earned their reputation for exceptional craftsmanship, luxurious comfort, and long-lasting quality. But with all that prestige can come a few questions—like which fill weight is right for you, how to care for your quilt, or what makes Danish goose down so special in the first place.

We’ve pulled together the most common questions we’re asked about our Danish quilt range—The Apartment, The Loft, and The Royale—to help make your decision a little easier.

Why Choose a Danish Eiderdown?

It’s not just a quilt—it’s an investment in better sleep.

Danish Eiderdowns are made right here in Melbourne, using premium 90–95% certified European and Hungarian goose down. This isn’t your average bedding. Think soft, cloud-like weightlessness with the kind of warmth that feels like a gentle hug—not a heavy smother.

Each quilt is designed to offer the perfect balance of insulation and breathability, so whether you’re someone who runs hot, cold, or somewhere in between, there’s an option to suit your sleep style.

The Apartment – Ideal for summer or hot sleepers (Lite fill).
The Loft – A beautiful all-rounder for year-round comfort (Standard fill).
The Royale – Our warmest, most luxurious option. Featherlight but powerful (Extra fill).

What Makes Goose Down So Good?

Not all down is created equal. What sets Danish Eiderdowns apart is the use of extra-long goose down fibres, which means fewer joins in the feathers and a superior ability to trap warmth while staying incredibly lightweight. Goose down naturally regulates body temperature, wicking away moisture to keep you comfortable across all seasons.

If you’re comparing bedding options, remember:
➡️ It’s not just about fill power—it’s about quality, sourcing, and how well the down is cleaned and processed.
➡️ Danish Eiderdowns meet the highest international and Australian standards for down cleaning and certification, making them a safe choice even for those with sensitivities.

Are Goose Down Quilts Suitable for Allergy Sufferers?

The answer is yes—with the right processing.

Our Danish quilts and pillows are crafted using down and feather that has been thoroughly cleaned and sanitised to the highest standards. This process removes dust, allergens, and impurities that typically cause irritation. Quality down bedding, when properly cleaned, is naturally hypoallergenic and resists the build-up of dust mites—the main culprits behind bedding allergies.

For extra peace of mind, we always recommend using pillow and quilt protectors (and changing them regularly).

What Fill Weight Should I Choose?

Everyone’s definition of “just right” is a little different when it comes to warmth. That’s why the Danish Eiderdown range offers three distinct fill weights:

🏢 The Apartment (Lite Fill)

Lightweight and breathable, perfect for summer, warmer climates, or those who tend to sleep hot.

🏡 The Loft (Standard Fill)

The Goldilocks option—not too warm, not too cool. Ideal for year-round use in most Australian homes.

👑 The Royale (Extra Fill)

Our warmest, most luxurious option, filled with premium goose down for maximum warmth with minimal weight. Designed for cooler climates or those who love the feeling of being wrapped in softness.

Tip: If you’re unsure which weight is best for you, our team is always happy to help you choose the perfect fit.

How Do I Care for My Danish Eiderdown Quilt?

A well-cared-for down quilt can last many, many years—making it one of the most worthwhile bedding investments you can make.

Cleaning & Washing Tips

• Air your quilt outdoors regularly (once a month is ideal) to keep it fresh and fluffy.

• Always use a quilt cover to protect your investment.

• For a proper clean, we recommend having your Danish Eiderdown quilt professionally washed and dried every 18–24 months.

• Domestic dryers often aren’t powerful enough to fully dry down—so commercial cleaning is best to avoid damp spots or clumping.

How Should I Store My Down Quilt?

One of the many benefits of goose down is its ability to compress without losing its loft. When not in use:

✔️ Roll or fold your quilt loosely—avoid stuffing it tightly into small spaces.
✔️ Store it in a breathable cotton bag, not plastic, to prevent moisture build-up.
✔️ Vacuum storage is possible but only for short-term storage—if you’re tucking the quilt away for a season or two, breathable storage is always better.
✔️ Keep away from direct sunlight and damp environments to preserve the down’s quality.

Can My Danish Eiderdown Be Rejuvenated or Re-Cased?

Absolutely. One of the advantages of investing in Danish Eiderdowns Australia is that your quilt or pillow can be re-cased or rejuvenated when needed. This process involves:

• Carefully cleaning the down and feathers.

• Inspecting the fill for quality.

• Replacing the casing with fresh new fabric.

Think of it as a little spa retreat for your quilt—restoring it back to its best self.
