Thread bedding Down Blanket

A "Down Blanket" is light and thin, containing about one-third of the down of a down futon.
It's very convenient, as you can use it by itself during warmer seasons, and combine it with a duvet in winter.
With just one, you can easily adjust your bed temperature for comfort throughout all four seasons.
The feel of a down product is determined not by the down ratio, but by the maturity of the down. The maturity of the down is determined by the size of each down ball. Mature down has many barbs on the down feather, forming large down balls that provide high thermal insulation. On the other hand, even if there is a lot of immature, small down, the down ratio will increase, but such immature down has low thermal insulation, so it is not warm and does not provide a good sleeping experience.
At Iwata, we have established strict quality standards and only use down that has passed inspections at the Iwata Down Research Institute.

Conventional down products could not be washed with water due to the risk of mold and odor. Iwata has solved this problem with its ionized special technology.
It can be washed with water and sterilized by sun-drying, ensuring peace of mind regarding hygiene. Tangled down is loosened, restoring its original fluffiness and function, and improving durability.
▲Before processing
Impurities that cause mold and odor are attached
▲After treatment
Feathers with impurities removed, resulting in beautiful transparency
Conventional down fabrics are resin-treated to prevent down from escaping, meaning they cannot be sun-dried or washed.
Iwata, using its proprietary know-how, developed a 100% natural cotton fabric. With meticulous checks by our technicians, we deliver products of impeccable quality.
Ordinary fabrics filled with resin or glue not only fail to absorb moisture but also impede the moisture-absorbing and releasing properties of down.
Iwata fabrics instantly absorb perspiration and moisture, thereby not hindering the functionality of the down.
OEKO-TEX is an international safety standard for textile products that prohibits or restricts the use of harmful substances in textile products and is only issued to products that meet its standards.
Iwata bedding products are certified “product by product,” meaning that all materials used in the bedding, including feathers, natural hair, fabric, thread, and zippers, meet the standards, demonstrating the safety of every single thread.
This is a rare goose down sourced from Hungary, a country renowned for producing the highest quality down in the world. The geese are raised for 3-4 years in an environment as close to nature as possible in Eastern Europe.
Furthermore, the largest down clusters with the finest fibers are meticulously hand-selected.
Among Eastern European Hungary's top-tier down products is Hungarian Hand-Selected Goose Down. From the extremely high-quality down of geese raised for over two years on carefully selected contract farms, only the largest clusters are further chosen by hand.
The silver goose, which inhabits the extremely cold regions of Eastern Europe, is raised for nearly a year, particularly in harsh winter environments. This results in a larger body size than common geese and allows for the harvesting of very high-quality feathers.
Because the farms are small, the geese are carefully monitored and raised naturally without the use of synthetic feeds. The down balls harvested from these silver geese are exceptionally large and have densely developed barbs.
Hungarian down is particularly large, offering excellent heat retention, durability, and resilience.
Even in Europe, a leader in down production, it is ranked as high-quality down, and its quality is highly regarded worldwide.
Ukraine is a country in Eastern Europe, bordering Hungary and Poland to the west. Most of its territory consists of flat hills and fertile land.
Because the ducks are raised for a long time by small farmers for their own use, their down is as large as goose down, with dense barbs, offering excellent heat retention and durability.
These are duck feathers that have been improved through long-term research to possess high quality. Primarily using mature down from adult ducks in mid-winter, the feathers have a dense branch structure, providing excellent heat retention and durability.
