Many factors can affect the quality of duck and goose down, such as age, maturity, health, food, and climate. However, if the birds are the same age and have similar living conditions, goose down is generally considered to be a superior, more expensive, and luxurious filling material.
This is due to the fact that geese are bigger animals and have larger down clusters, which makes for a great insulator. Furthermore, they often have a higher fill power, meaning that they can trap more air and keep you warmer.
However, when comparing duck down with goose down, it is important to look at quality levels such as down content and fill power, and not only the species. Duck down with a high fill power can be often of a higher quality than most regular goose down and proves to be a strong price competitive alternative.
At Down Creators we are specialized in duck down with a similar or even higher fill power compared to goose down due to our strong sourcing of larger duck species.
