The shell is made of 100% 400-count thread cotton and has a baffle-box construction making sure the fill will not bunch or shift during use.
This duvet comes in two weight options. The Regular Weight duvet is perfect for rooms kept at 19-21 degrees C and is great for those that sleep warm. The All Season weight is best suited for rooms kept at 16-18 degrees C and ideal for those seeking extra warmth when sleeping. Both weights come in six sizes, Twin, Double, Queen, King, Queen XL (California King) and King XL.
This goose-down duvet should be used with a duvet cover to ensure a long life, especially as this duvet cannot be machine washed and must be taken to a professional cleaner. As the highest quality duvet in our review today, the cost is higher than the others, which can be a consideration.

The Gel Micorfibre Alternative Down Duvet comes in four standard sizes: Twin, Double, Queen and King.

Ratings Summary
Overall Score: 4/5
Duvet Construction
An important feature of all duvets is their construction. Poorly constructed duvets will cause the fill to bunch and shift around, creating an uneven and lumpy duvet. All of the Canadian Down & Feather Company duvets we are reviewing today have excellent construction, making sure that no matter what type of fill is used, it won’t shift or move.
The Hutterite Goose Down Duvet uses a baffle box construction, which is smaller pockets sewn throughout the duvet, making sure that the fill will not move. The other two duvets, the Gel Microfibre Alternative and the White Goose Down duvets use box construction with larger pockets sewn throughout, keeping the fill from shifting. All three duvets are great options if you are concerned about construction, as the quality is top of the line on all of them.
Fill Type
The most significant difference between all three Canadian Down & Feather Company duvets we are comparing today is the fill type.
The Canadian Down & Feather Company Hutterite Goose Down Duvet is filled with 100% Hutterite luxurious goose down, known for being some of the highest quality in the world. Available in two different weights, this fill offers options for those who sleep warm and those who sleep cool. Even the warmest weight of this duvet feels light and fluffy, as the down is filled in tiny clusters throughout the duvet.
For those seeking a duvet with a vegan fill, the Gel Mircofibre Alternative Duvet is a great pick. The fil in this duvet uses a down-like microfibre fill made of high-quality polyester gel fibres. Available only in a warmer weight, this duvet has a generous fill to ensure proper insulation.
Our last duvet, the White Goose Feather Down Duvet, has a significant amount of goose feathers, ensuring that the duvet is amply filled. This fill provides extra warmth for those who sleep cool or for winter.
Depending on your ideal room temperature, how naturally hot you sleep, and any potential allergy or environmental concerns will help you determine which duvet is best for you.
Shell Materials
The shell of the duvet is the fabric that holds in all of the duvet’s fill. Choosing a soft and breathable duvet is essential to allow the most airflow and comfort.
All of the Canadian Down & Feather Company duvets have a 100% cotton shell. The Hutterite Goose Down duvet is 400-count thread cotton, while the Gel Microfibre Alternative Down duvet uses a 300-count thread. The White Goose Feather Down Duvet has a thread count of 233, which will feel less soft than the others.
Weight Options
The weight of a duvet will often indicate to you what season it is best to use it in or which one to choose if you sleep extremely warm or cool. A higher-weight duvet means that it is thicker or denser because it contains more fill than other duvets. Canadian Down & Feather Company duvets are all different weights, depending on the duvet model.
The Canadian Down & Feather Company Hutterite Goose Down Duvet is available in these two weights. The Regular Weight is best suited for moderate room temperatures ranging from 19-21 degrees C, and the fill weight is 18 oz to 36 oz, depending on the duvet size. The All-Season Weight is best for cooler rooms ranging from 16 to 18 degrees C, with a fill weight of 20 to 42 oz.
The other two duvets we are reviewing today, the Gel Microfibre Alternative Down and the White Goose Feather Down, are only available in one All-Season weight, best suited for room temperatures of 16-18 degrees C. The fill weight of these duvets ranges from 45-74 oz, depending on the size of the duvet.
Sizes
The three Canadian Down & Feather Company duvets featured today in our review come in a range of sizes, depending on the model.
The Hutterite Goose Down Duvet comes in Twin, Double, Queen, King, Queen XL (California King) and King XL. The other two duvets, the Gel Microfibre Alternative Down and the White Goose Feather Duvet, each come in Twin, Double, Queen and King.
You should always choose a duvet that matches the size of your mattress, but double check dimensions before purchasing to make sure you are happy with the sizing. Some Canadians prefer to size up for a larger overhang on the sides of the mattress.
Temperature Control
For Canadians who sleep hot, choosing a duvet that won’t overheat you while sleeping is essential. The Gel Microfibre Alternative and the White Goose Feather duvet are warmer duvets, suitable for cooler rooms or those who sleep cool and want a warmer sleeping experience. These two duvets are cozy and warm, and neither option is ideal for those who sleep hot.
The Hutterite Goose Down Duvet is a great option for warm sleepers. This duvet is available in two weights, one for moderate temperatures and one for cooler temperatures.
All of the duvet shells are made of 100% cotton, which is soft and breathable and can help in reducing minimal heat. For those that sleep extra hot and wish to buy a duvet meant for cooler rooms, choosing a cooling mattress and sheets can help combat trapped heat.
Duvet Covers
Like most duvets, a cover should be used with all Canadian Down & Feather Company duvets. Covers help with overall wear and tear, making sure your duvet lasts as long as possible. Duvet covers can be easily washed with your bedding, ensuring those with dust allergies or who frequently have spills can wash the duvet as needed.
All of the duvets in our review today feature loops on each corner, ensuring easy attachment to whatever cover you wish to use. Using the corner loops makes your duvet less likely to slip around or bunch inside the cover.
There are many duvet covers you can buy on the Canadian marketplace, and Canadian Down & Feather Company also offers covers on its website. When choosing a duvet cover, make sure you look at the dimensions and sizing to ensure a perfect fit.
