Hotel down quilt core: How to provide customers with a high-quality sleeping experience?

1. Features of hotel down quilt core

  • Natural lightness, good warmth retention

High fluffiness: High-quality down (such as white goose down or duck down) can reach 600-800+ fluffiness, which can lock more air and form an efficient insulation layer. The warmth retention is more than 3 times that of ordinary cotton quilts.

Lightweight and non-oppressive: A down quilt suitable for winter weighs only 1.5-2kg, while the same warm cotton quilt may weigh 4-5kg, which is suitable for people who like to sleep without burden.

 

  • Good breathability

Down fibers can quickly absorb and discharge moisture emitted by the human body, keep the quilt dry and comfortable, and avoid stuffiness or sweating problems. High-quality down is sterilized at high temperature and treated with anti-mite treatment (such as Swiss Sanitized technology), which is not easy to breed bacteria and dust mites, and is suitable for people who are prone to allergies.

Compared with chemical fiber quilts, down quilts are 30% more breathable, especially suitable for use in all seasons.

 

  • Soft and fit, quiet and comfortable

The high down content (more than 90%) makes the quilt feel as soft as a cloud, fits the body curve, and is almost silent when turning over, which will not affect the partner's sleep. The lightness and fit of the duvet can reduce the frequency of turning over at night and help enter deep sleep, especially suitable for light sleepers and urban people with high pressure.

Hotel-grade duvets usually use high-count cotton or anti-drilling down fabrics to ensure that the down does not leak out and improve skin-friendly feel.

 

  • Strong durability and long-term economical

The service life of high-quality down quilts can reach 15-20 years (regular maintenance), while ordinary chemical fiber quilts will clump and deform in 3-5 years and lose their warmth. Down is a natural animal fiber, biodegradable, more environmentally friendly than chemical fiber quilts, and in line with the sustainable development concept of modern hotels.

Hotels choose down quilt cores, which not only improves customer experience, but also reduces long-term replacement costs.

 

2. Convenience of maintenance: How can hotels easily maintain down quilts?

Daily care tips

Regular ventilation: Dry in a cool and ventilated place 1-2 times a month (avoid exposure to the sun), and pat gently to restore the fluffiness.

Avoid compression: Use a breathable cloth bag when storing, and never vacuum compress, otherwise it will damage the structure of the down.

 

Hotel-specific maintenance plan

Professional dry cleaning: Send it to a professional dry cleaner for cleaning every 1-2 years to avoid the clumping of down caused by home washing.

Rotation use: Hotels usually have 2-3 sets of quilt cores for rotation use to extend the life of a single quilt core.

 

3. Cleaning precautions: How to clean the duvet correctly?

How to clean a washable duvet

Use neutral detergent: Avoid alkaline detergents that damage the down grease and reduce warmth retention.

Select gentle mode for machine washing: Large commercial washing machines are better, and home washing machines must ensure that the capacity is sufficient (avoid overloading).

Rinse thoroughly: Make sure there is no detergent residue, otherwise it is easy to cause the down to stick together.

Drying and airing tips

Low-temperature drying: Add tennis balls or wool balls to help fluff up the down and avoid high temperatures that make the down brittle.

Lay flat to dry: Avoid direct exposure to the sun, and lay flat in the shade to air dry for the best results.

High-end down quilts that cannot be washed

For some ultra-high-end down quilts (such as those above 1000FP), dry cleaning is recommended only to avoid affecting the fluffiness and lifespan.
