Understanding Down Comforter Construction

March 24, 2023December 6, 2022 - by Sergio Torian

Down comforters are constructed by sewing down and feathers between a top and bottom cover, usually made of cotton. Silk or polyester covers are also used, though less frequently. Down comforters were originally called duvets, a French word meaning a simple open fabric bag, filled with feathers and down. Today a top and bottom cover, stitched (quilted) together, keeps the down evenly spread out in small compartments referred to as baffles or boxes.

There are two main types of down comforter constructions: baffle box and box stitch (also called sewn through). A baffle box comforter has thin strips of material sewn between the top and bottom cover in a checkered pattern. The baffles are usually between 6″ and 15″ in size with an equal amount of down in each. A box stitch comforter is also sewn in a checkered pattern; but rather than using small strips of material to separate the top and bottom cover, the top and bottom cover are sewn together forming boxes. Boxes serve the same purpose as baffles: they keep the down evenly spread out across the entire comforter.

Which is better, baffle box or box stitch construction? Box stitch is more common and more expensive to create, so there is a common misunderstanding that baffle box is the better construction. Also, many retailers make inaccurate claims about their products that add to the confusion most customers have when tying to decide on a down comforter. The truth is that both types of construction serve a …
