Pillows/blankets/cushions
Beautiful cushions provide a cosy atmosphere and are the icing on the cake to every living room. Decorative cushions filled with downs are simply irreplaceable. In diverse online shops you can find cushions in every colour and pattern and you can have a look for your suitable cushion for your couch. For comfortable sitting on the couch we recommend a cuddly cushion with down filling. Soft cushions, filled with 100% natural pure new wool should be your first choice and the minimum weight for a cushion filling is supposed to be 160g for a 35 x 40 cm size.
Cushion definition:
A cushion or pillow is a bag filled with downs, foam or another soft material.
Cushion information:
In contrast to a cushion a pillow should be replaced every three to four years since it may no longer support the heavily strained spine, the small 80 x 80 cm pad does not meet this task (Kissen).

Blanket definition:
Blankets are double-sided napped, for natural hair tumbled, fluffy, customized fabrics made of new wool, sometimes of real hair, cotton wool or chemical fibres. Blankets made of the mentioned material should meet the ÖkoTex 100 standards and should be sweat resistant.
Blanket information:
The lighter and more bouffant the feathers are the better is the filling.
- pure downs require a 95% minimum share of down weight
- downs have at least 90%,
- feathery downs 50%,
- three-quarters-downs 30% and
- half-downs at least 15%.
The often colourful blankets made of cotton wool are suitable for sleeping on the couch or as snugly baby blankets also for children and adults. In contrast to cushions one should make sure to change the blanket every eight to ten years since they absorb the sweat during the night when our mattress is not able to fulfil this task any longer (Babydecken, Matratzen).
Blanket information for allergy sufferers:
Well-suitable for people suffering from allergies are blankets whose fibres are free of dust and fuzz such as chemical fabrics. Chemical fibres become increasingly popular as they are soft, cuddly and washable at 60 or 90 degrees.
