Many questions come from customers about what is artificial down, what are its properties, why such a difference in price. Now let's try to explain everything.
The IDEIA range includes two main anti-allergenic fillers for blankets and pillows: silicone balls / canvas (official name polyester fiber) and artificial swan down (it is in the photo, the official name is high quality polyester microfiber). Despite the fact that both of these fillers are based on one material - polyester fiber and silicone finish, they have excellent properties and differ in price.
The difference between these fillers is the thickness of the fiber and the level of silicone treatment. The microfiber is much thinner and has a denser silicone finish, which gives it elasticity. It takes more time to make microfiber, and special modern equipment is needed to loosen it. The quality of a microfiber (its elasticity, softness, ability to hold its shape) directly depends on how well it is "combed". All these processes increase the production time, and accordingly, the cost of the material changes.
The resulting substance is more voluminous, saturated with air, soft and elastic. This creates a larger volume of products, pillows with this filler are super soft, and blankets are very warm. They retain heat better, are physiologically comfortable at different times of the year. More air is stored between the fibers, natural air permeability is provided, there is no feeling of discomfort. Excess moisture and heat are removed to the outside.
Artificial down in terms of softness, heat capacity and air permeability is 100% in line with its natural counterpart. But it is not able to cause allergies, irritation and other side effects. That is why it is ideal for people prone to allergies, with sensitive skin, with active sweating.
This filler is perfect for children's products. Again - 100% safe, plus very light. Blankets with such a filler are lush, light and do not press on the body. They help maintain the optimal microclimate of the baby's body, which only adapts to the new conditions of the world.
Among the IDEIA collections, the artificial swan down filler is found in blankets and pillows of Super Soft Classic, Super Soft Premium, Air Dream Premium.
