Eiderdown: Beyond the Down

If you know Eiderdown, you probably think of one thing—fluffy, luxurious, high-end down products. And you’d be right. But there’s a little more to the story. While down may be what we’re famous for, it’s not the only premium offering in our lineup.

Think of it like this: If down is the headline act, then our wool quilts, cotton sheets, and linen pillowcases are the equally brilliant, criminally underrated support acts that make the whole performance unforgettable. The things you don’t realise you need until you have them—and then wonder how you ever slept without them.

Quality Wool Quilts 

Wool has been used in bedding for centuries, and for good reason—it’s naturally warm, breathable, and long-lasting. But not all wool quilts are created equal. The difference between an average night’s sleep and a great one often comes down to the quality of the materials wrapped around you.

High-quality wool, whether it’s from sheep or alpacas, is naturally hypoallergenic. It resists dust mites and mould, making it a brilliant choice for allergy sufferers. Unlike synthetic alternatives, which can trap moisture and create the perfect breeding ground for allergens, wool actively wicks moisture away. This means a fresher, drier sleep environment—without the midnight overheating or chilly wake-ups.

Then there’s temperature control. Wool is a natural thermoregulator, meaning it keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. It adapts to your body, so you’re not constantly kicking the quilt off and pulling it back on again throughout the night.

And durability? A well-made wool quilt doesn’t clump, lose its loft, or fall apart after a few seasons. It keeps its shape and performance year after year—because a good night’s sleep should be a long-term investment.

100% Quality Sheets

Sheets are one of those things you don’t think about—until they’re bad. Too rough, too thin, too hot, too cheap-feeling. And once you’ve spent a night tangled in the wrong sheets, you realise just how much they impact your sleep.

There’s a reason we use 100% cotton. Unlike synthetic blends, which can trap heat and wear down quickly, pure cotton is breathable, durable, and naturally soft. It lets air circulate while you sleep, keeping you comfortable rather than stifled.

Then there’s the longevity. A good set of cotton sheets isn’t something you replace every year. They hold their shape, resist pilling, and get softer with every wash. They don’t turn scratchy over time, and they don’t start thinning out after a few cycles through the machine.

And let’s not forget that unmistakable feeling of climbing into crisp, fresh sheets at the end of a long day. It’s an everyday luxury that’s worth getting right.

Premium Pillowcases 

Pillowcases often get overlooked in the bedding world. We talk about sheets, we talk about quilts, but what about the fabric your face rests on for hours every night? It matters more than you might think.

Linen pillowcases are the kind of upgrade that doesn’t seem essential—until you try them. The fabric is naturally breathable, which means it doesn’t trap heat or make your skin feel smothered. It also has just the right texture—soft, but not slippery, structured but not stiff.

And then there’s the durability. Linen gets softer with every wash, without losing strength. Unlike cheaper fabrics that wear thin or develop rough patches over time, linen holds up beautifully, making it a bedding staple that lasts.

It’s a small detail, but one that makes a surprising difference.

Beyond Comfort: Ethical and Sustainable Bedding

Great bedding isn’t just about how it feels—it’s also about how it’s made. At Eiderdown, sustainability isn’t an afterthought; it’s part of everything we do.

We carefully source our materials to ensure they’re as kind to the planet as they are to your sleep. Our down is RDS certified, our wool comes from ethical New Zealand farms, and our cotton and linen are chosen with sustainability in mind. That means no harmful chemicals, no unsustainable farming practices, and no mass-produced, disposable bedding that ends up in landfill after a year or two.

Wool and down are naturally biodegradable, and our commitment to durability means fewer replacements, less waste, and better long-term value. When you invest in well-made bedding, you’re not just choosing better sleep—you’re choosing a more responsible way to live.

The Best Sleep Starts Here

Down might be what we’re known for, but it’s not the whole story. Quality sleep comes from layers that work together—breathable cotton sheets, temperature-regulating wool quilts, and linen pillowcases that feel as good as they look. And when those layers are made ethically and sustainably, you can rest even easier.

If you’re ready to sleep better—without compromising on quality or sustainability—explore our full range here. Because the best night’s sleep starts with the best bedding.
