What Are Duvets Made Of?

Traditionally, duvets are made using eiderdown, although some companies do use other material. Eiderdown, which is a product of elder ducks, is the very soft feathers that lay near the skin which the ducks use for insulation. The harvesting of eiderdown does not harm the ducks. The ducks, which are typically wild and nest in areas that humans harvest the down, are actually very friendly and sociable creatures because of their interactions with humans. Considering this, duvets which use eiderdown can be seen as a very green way of making luxurious bedding.
