John Lewis The Ultimate Collection Made to Order Icelandic Eiderdown Winter Weight Duvet Single

Providing you with pure luxury whilst you sleep, this duvet provides unsurpassed insulation whilst also being exceptionally lightweight and fluffy. It is filled with the unique down from the Eider duck, which is hand collected in Iceland and sent to our very own textile factory in Lancashire where the duvet is handcrafted.

An introduction to Eiderdown

Eiderdown is extremely rare and is the pinnacle of all downs due to its insulation characteristics. It is produced by the Eider duck and offers the ultimate in luxury. Eider ducks return year after year to Iceland's rugged coast to nest. They are exposed to bitterly cold Icelandic temperatures and polar storms and use their unique down to protect them. The female Eider duck sheds her down in the breeding season, which line the nest for her eggs. This acts as a protection for the next generation of Eider duck.

What is so unique about Eiderdown?

Icelandic Eiderdown has extra large clusters of down which retain heat and give unsurpassed insulation, whilst also being much lighter than other feathers. This means you feel perfectly warm, without being weighed down. This duvet has a premium cotton cover, providing you with pure luxury and promising years of use.

Is Eiderdown responsibly sourced?

We work with accredited farmers who provide sanctuaries for the ducks during their nesting season. The Eider ducks are free range and their down is only collected by the farmers once they have hatched their eggs and fled the nest. Our suppliers are monitored to ensure they practise the highest standards of animal welfare.
