Downia Silver Collection 85/15 White Goose Down Quilt

Sleeping in a cloud – Considering the price point of this quilt I expected it to arrive in something short of red velvet and rose petals. However it arrived in it’s Downia retail box without any internal protective/plastic packaging over the quilt itself. As underwhelming as it was to open a cardboard box with a loose quilt inside, common sense eventually prevailed and I figured this is probably the best way to allow the down to “breathe”. This aside, the doona itself is absolutely AMAZING!!! It’s my first goose down quilt and I did a lot of research to establish that goose down is the very best filling and you’ll need to sell a kidney or your firstborn to acquire it. Of all the brands I considered, Downia seemed to have the best reviews, with many claiming their quilt had a decent lifespan of at least 10 years. According to the care tag, it has 1130g of fill (Downia should really consider advertising this as it’s a selling point, but for some reason you can’t find this info anywhere online). The loft is so impressive that my quilt makes a real aesthetic statement on the bed. The quilt has a rating 4 so is well suited to the unstable climate I currently live in (Melbourne and for reference it is currently winter). The baffled cassette construction works really well so gravity won’t cause the down clusters to migrate to the sides or ends of the bed. I also haven’t found that it leaks feathers or fibres which according to other reviews is a problem to varying degrees with other brands of down quilts. Overall I’m thrilled with this purchase. It’s so fluffy and light that I can barely feel it and the warmth it generates is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. I’ve gone from having to use 2 blankets over winter to only needing this now. Never did I imagine I would be this excited by a quilt but it really is the most luxurious one I’ve ever owned. Even at 40% off Myer sale it is by far the most money I’ve ever spent on a quilt but well worth it. I’d never go back to anything else. Before use make sure to give the down clusters enough time to bounce back from transit by airing out. I laid it out over the bed for a few hours and periodically fluffed it up before use.
