What We Can Do
Shell fabric. 100% cotton — carded or combed, with down-proof calendering for feather/down fills. Poly-cotton for budget hotel programs where wash durability leads. Bamboo viscose-cotton for brands selling cooling comforters. Shell fabric choice is driven by the fill type it needs to contain — down and feather require a tightly calendered shell to prevent fiber migration.
Fill materials. Synthetic: polyester hollow fiber (3D/7D) for loft and resilience. Microfiber fill for a down-like hand at lower cost. Natural: duck down, goose down, feather, and down-feather blends (10/90, 30/70, 50/50, 80/20). Fill power for down ranges from 500 (entry) to 800+ (premium). Synthetic fill weight ranges from 100 GSM (lightweight summer comforter) to 500 GSM (heavy winter weight).
Construction. Baffle box — internal fabric walls between top and bottom shell, preventing fill from shifting. Used for down and high-loft fills where even distribution matters. Sewn-through — top and bottom shells stitched together in a grid or channel pattern. Lighter weight, lower cost, used for synthetic fills and lower fill-power down. Diamond, channel, and custom stitch patterns available.
Sizes. US Twin through Cal King. UK Single through Super King. European and Nordic sizes. Hotel-specific. Custom dimensions.
Color. Shell fabric dyed to Pantone reference. Solid colors for the shell, with piping or border accents.
Packaging. Retail box with brand card. Vacuum-packed for e-commerce. Hotel bulk packaging. Woven labels or heat-transfer logo prints.
Fill Selection: The Warmth-to-Weight Ratio Is the Only Number That Matters
A comforter’s job is trapping air. The fill material determines how much air gets trapped and how much the whole thing weighs.
Synthetic fills — consistency at scale
Polyester hollow fiber is the standard fill for hotel and value retail comforters. Hollow-core fibers trap more air than solid fibers at the same weight, producing more loft per gram. 3D fibers have a round cross-section with a single hollow channel. 7D fibers have seven hollow channels and produce higher loft at lower weight — closer to down’s warmth-to-weight ratio but at a fraction of the cost.
Microfiber fill mimics down’s soft hand — fine-denier fibers feel less “springy” than hollow polyester and drape more like a natural fill comforter. Common in mid-to-premium retail where price-point demands a down alternative that doesn’t feel like a polyester sleeping bag.
Synthetic fills handle industrial laundering better than down — no clumping risk, no drying-time penalty. For hotels, that’s the deciding factor.
Down and feather — the performance play
Down fill power measures cubic inches of loft per ounce. 500 fill power = entry-level duck down, adequate for budget hotel programs. 600–700 = standard goose down for mid-to-premium retail. 800+ = premium goose down for high-end brands. Each step up in fill power means more warmth at less weight.
Down-feather blend ratios determine support. A 50/50 down/feather comforter is heavier, firmer, and less expensive. An 80/20 or 90/10 down/feather comforter is lighter, softer, pricier. Feathers provide structure — a 100% down comforter collapses too easily for some applications.
Down comforters don’t go through commercial laundries — they’re dry-cleaned or duvet-covered. The shell fabric decision is about containing the fill (down-proofing) and providing the hand feel against a duvet cover.
Quilts — a separate category
A quilt is not a lightweight comforter — it’s a different construction. Three layers stitched together: top fabric, fill (typically thin polyester batting, 80–150 GSM), bottom fabric. The stitch pattern is visible and decorative, not hidden inside a shell. Quilts are common in boutique hotels as bed runners or lightweight coverlets. The fill weight is low, the construction is sewn-through, and the top fabric — often cotton or cotton-linen — is the design focus.
Quality Control and Service
Sampling. Fill material, shell fabric, and construction confirmed → pre-production sample in 7–10 days. Approved → bulk production in 25–35 days.
Inspection. Third-party inspection (SGS, Intertek) before shipment. Factory visits available. Comforter-specific QC: fill distribution under shaken conditions, shell fabric down-proofing integrity (for feather/down fills), and loft recovery after compression.
Testing standards:
- Fill weight tolerance: ±5% of specified GSM or fill power
- Fill distribution: Visual and tactile check after 5-minute vibration test
- Down-proofing: Tumble test — filled shell tumbled for 30 minutes, fiber leakage counted
- Shell fabric colorfastness: AATCC 8 ≥ Grade 4
- Shell shrinkage: 100% cotton < 5%, poly-cotton < 2%
- Loft recovery: Measured 30 minutes after vacuum-pack decompression
- Chemical safety: OEKO-TEX Standard 100 — available on request
MOQ: Why the Number Is What It Is
Standard MOQ is 500 pcs per colorway, minimum 200 pcs per design.
Fabric dyeing and warping set the floor on the shell side. Fill procurement has its own minimum — down and feather fills involve batch sourcing with fixed-volume commitments. Synthetic fills are more flexible. Orders above 3,000 pcs per color see a unit-cost reduction. Close to the threshold? We’ll have a transparent cost conversation.
