Traditional Luxury Down Proof Fabrics
Our down proof fabrics start with the finest Egyptian cotton and decades of expertise in the weaving of down proof fabric. The end result is a superior quality down proof fabric that is extremely durable yet very
lightweight: 3oz per square yard for the Sateen and 3.4oz per square yard for the Jacquard.
The Traditional Luxury down comforter is available in either a plain white Cotton Sateen or a white
on white striped Jacquard Damask (California King & German Twin Size available in plain white sateen only). Both offer a 300 thread count.

Traditional Luxury Down Comforters
Are filled with the finest Hungarian White Goose Down, in your choice of 650 Fill
or a hand selected 750 Fill. This goose down is washed, sanitized, dried, de-dusted,
sorted and tested to the highest standards, under strict supervision, using state
of the art German equipment.

Down Comforter Warmth Levels
A note about Fill Power: Fill power indicates the size of the individual down clusters and the overall quality of the goose down, ie; 1 ounce of 650 fill will fill 650 cubic inches of space, 1 ounce of 750 fill will fill 750 cubic inches of space, and so on.
So, ounce for ounce, a higher fill power will result in a slightly warmer and fluffier comforter because the down clusters are relatively larger and fluffier. Higher fill powers also indicate a better quality goose down, with less "fiber" (broken down clusters and perhaps a trace of feather). Higher fill powers also tend to be more durable, retaining their fluffiness and insulating ability compared to lower quality fill powers.
You can use fill power to help "fine tune" the warmth of
your comforter. For instance, if your room temperature
is 65° - 75° you might choose an Ultra Light (if you are a "Warm" sleeper) or a Tropical warmth (if you are an average to cold sleeper), in the following fill powers:
- Ultra Light 650 - the coolest of these choices. (Ultra Light available in Batiste & Lyocell only)
- Ultra Light 750 - fluffier and warmer, compared to
the 650 fill. (Ultra Light available in Batiste & Lyocell only)
- Ultra Light 800 - fluffier and warmer, compared to
the 750 fill. (Ultra Light available in Batiste & Lyocell only)
- Tropical 650 - heavier, close to the the Ultra Light
800 in fluffiness and warmth.
- Tropical 750 - fluffier and warmer, compared to the Tropical 650.
- Tropical 800 - The fluffiest and warmest of these
choices.
Please note: We use the term "Fluffy" in a relative sense when describing the Ultra Light & Tropical comforters. These are very lightweight comforters and would not suitable for someone that desires the aesthetics of a truly fluffy down comforter. In other words, in comparison so a warmer down comforter, the Ultra Light and Tropical Warmths are relatively flat.
Ultra Light: For the warmest climates & sleepers.
Tropical: For average sleepers in warm climates. A slightly lighter version of the Summer comforter.
Summer: The Summer down comforter is designed for use in the South (with air-conditioned bedrooms) and for those who live elsewhere but keep a comfortably warm bedroom.
Autumn: Our year-around or “all-seasons" down comforter. Nice and fluffy, not too hot, not too cold for the average person in a range of climates.
Winter: The Winter down comforter offers a luxurious loft and dependable warmth for those who prefer little or no bedroom heat (around 60 degrees).
Deep Winter: Our fluffiest and warmest goose down comforter. Designed for those that want the ultimate in lightweight warmth in the coldest of climates.
We can add more down to your comforter, but we cannot remove it. Because of the high quality of our goose down, many people are surprised at how warm our down comforters are. So if you are concerned
about over heating, a good rule of thumb is to select a weight that is one weight
lighter than you think will keep you comfortable. If, within 1 year of your purchase,
you decide that you would like more down added, we only charge for the actual cost
of the down and return shipping.

Made in the U.S.A. and Europe.
Our down comforters are made at the time of your order and usually ship within 1-3 business days. This means that your new down comforter is always "fresh" and has not been sitting on some dusty shelf for months.
How do we do it? Our down proof fabrics are woven and sewn in Europe, ready to be filled with our premium European White Goose Down using state of the art equipment to make sure that each box is filled precisely (to within a 100th of a gram) with the same amount of down. Your comforter is then finished, quality checked (one last time) and packed for shipment.
All Plumeria Bay® down comforters are made with Baffled Box construction. This style, when done properly, eliminates shifting of down and cold spots, and allows the down to loft to it's
fullest. Not all "baffled box" comforters are created equal. Click here to learn more about ours.
Caring for your down comforter
It's easy! Fluff daily, and keep in a duvet cover.
Traditional Luxury™ Down Comforters are machine washable, but should only be washed when necessary. (excessive washing is hard
on the down clusters and strips the down of its natural oils).
The bags our down comforters and pillows come in are meant to be used and are perfect
for storing your items in!
