DOWNPASS The goal of the DOWNPASS standard is to contribute to the ethical sourcing of down and feathers, and to help companies to firmly anchor and further develop the aspects of animal welfare during the sourcing of feathers and down in everyday business by reviewing suppliers in the industry supply chain. DOWNPASS Standard 2017 stands for No live-pucking, No material from the foie gras production and monitoring the breeding conditions. Down and feathers as by-products of poultry production are only available when geese and ducks are consumed. The supply chain of every company in the bedfeather and bedding industry is international and individual. The standard also represents the way to the large breeding areas as well as to small farms and collectors. Recording down and feathers according to their origin and their way of winning and to implement the aspects of animal welfare is a big task. OEKO-TEX® Product identification with the label “Confidence in Textiles” and the connected proven safety of textile products is an additional sales argument which surveys have found to be more important to consumers than price, functionality or brand. Widespread use and customer awareness of the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 contribute to the OEKO-TEX® label now having a status similar to that of a brand name and being actively requested by consumers. Marking products with the OEKO-TEX® label therefore provides all textile and clothing manufacturers with valid certificates with an effective way of drawing more attention to their products. Without visible labels, consumers are not in a position to assess the human ecological quality of the textiles. )PIFOTUFJO)55* 4 )PIFOTUFJO)55* )PIFOTUFJO)55* SEALS OF QUALITY OEKO-TEX® – MADE IN GREEN The OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN label gives you the certainty that the textile product is made of materials that have been tested for harmful substances, in environmentally friendly and socially responsible workplaces.

SEALS OF QUALITY 61 THE FABRIC Which weave to use? In considering casings and weaves throughout our brochure we refer to thread count. Thread count is calculated by the addition of the number of threads in both directions of the weave, in a one inch direction from a given point. Thus higher thread counts mean finer weaves. As a guide to thread count, we can find bed linen that sometimes carries the term “percale”. Nowadays, this is taken to mean weaves where the thread count is a minimum of 180, our casings are very much higher thread counts than this. Part of our art at BRINKHAUS is knowing which weave is particularly suited for the type of filling it will hold. Twill, for example, is a highly versatile weave. It allows for an extremely fine high density thread count for superior strength. In addition, the softer and thicker weft yarn (those across the width) are on the inside, and therefore i n contact with the filling. Over time, the fabric becomes matted through use and therefore increases its density. Cambric, a classic linen weave, marries the finest cotton yarns to extreme lightness. We have found this combination ideal for pure down or feather and down mixtures, the finest being a “batiste”. Satin weave takes its name from its effect. The high count of warp threads gives a luxurious shiny right side. Because this takes more yarn to achieve, it is an expensive weave. You will find examples of all three in our collection. NOMITE® The NOMITE® mark indicates that a product is suitable for house dust mite allergy sufferers: because down- and feather-filled products offer excellent thermal and climatic conditions for humans (rapid warming up when one is sleeping, rapid decrease in humidity when the bedding is aired), they provide a very poor habitat for house dust mites, which rely on high humidity to live. The tight weave of the down- and featherproof fabric acts as a barrier, preventing the mites from passing through, and therefore offers additional protection - so that those who suffer from house dust allergies or asthma can also enjoy the natural comfort afforded by down and feather bedding. This has been demonstrated by scientific research. 1031 AERELLE® BLUE Help us keep the oceans clean! AERELLE® BLUE fibre is the result of a partnership with Plastic Bank, a social enterprise. It's made of plastic that could otherwise have ended up in the ocean. Recycled to make Social Plastic®, it helps solve one of the most pressing environmental problems of our time, namely the plastic polluting seas and beaches. Plastic Bank encourages people to collect plastic waste in order to sustainably protect the environment. Further information is available at: www.plasticbank.com CYCLAFILL® CYCLAFILL® fibres are made from 100% recyclable polyester. The product used as the basis for these sustainable, environmentally friendly polyester fibres is recycled PET bottles. This brand fibre is hard-wearing, durable, soft and snug.

ORGANIC CONTENT STANDARD Products certified to The ORGANIC CONTENT STANDARD (OCS) contain organically grown content that has been (independently) verified at each stage of the supply chain, from the farm to the finished product.
THE FILLING Which is the best for me? There is no easy answer to this question. It depends principally on individual taste – warmth required, type of sleeper, ambient temperature as well as climate. Premier goose down is the lightest, giving freedom to move and turn without disturbing rest. Cashmere, camel hair, silk, wool and cotton are other excellent natural fillings that we use. They are heavier than down but in the same way they promote air and moisture movement and respond to body temperature changes. Of these, silk is uniquely body responsive; wool provides warmth with high absorbency to draw off moisture. Cotton is also absorbent and as a natural plant source filling, it is a good option for allergy sufferers, polyester is the man-made alternative in this respect. However, whatever your final choice may be, the same care, attention and finish is applied to every duvet that carries the BRINKHAUS name. DOWN The perfect duvet filling, has been used for centuries now. This little miracle of nature, which has countless tiny air pockets between its individual hairs, provides excellent heat insulation and absorbs moisture, immediately transporting it out to the surrounding air. So your body stays warm and dry. CASHMERE From time immemorial it has been synonymous with the most precious and fine natural animal hair. It comes from the Cashmere goat which lives in the Central Asian highlands of China and Mongolia. It is characterised by its special softness and smoothness. Cashmere hair acts as a climate regulator and assures excellent sle eping comfort. CAMEL HAIR Camel hair has good insulating properties and is more flexible and lighter than wool. Thanks to its outstanding ability to regulate moisture, the duvet is ideal for sleepers who perspire easily. The camel hair duv et is not suitable for people w ho often suffer from a dust mite allergy. QUALITY INDEX
QUALITY INDEX QUALITY INDEX 63 THE TOG RATE Which “TOG-Rate” should I choose? The TOG expressed as a number, acts as a guide to the insulation property; more accurately it is the measure of the thermal resistance of a duvet construction. The higher the number, the more the duvet holds heat. For natural fillings other factors such as climate, humidity, ambient temperature and individual preferences are equally important. We also indicate other factors such as weight and warmth. However, it is important to note that other individual factors must be balanced in y our final decision. SILK Silk is 100 % natural, silk has an absorption of about 30 % of its own weight and silk has the special characteristic of immediately being able to release the absorbed moisture into the air. Temperature differences in the body are absorbed by the silk and it is unique in being able to adapt to the body‘s temperature changes. Silk is derived from the cocoon of silk moth the caterpillar and thus an animal fibre. WOOL Pure new sheep’s wool is one of the oldest hairs used b y man. It can absorb up to 30 % of its own weight in moisture without ever feeling damp. At the same time, it is able to quickly release this moisture into the surrounding air. So, you get a warm and cosy sleeping environment any time of the year. COTTON One of the oldest agricultural crops known to man is also ideal for use as a quilt filling material. It stands out thanks to its excellent capacity for absorbing moisture. However, it does not store this moisture; rather, it quickly releases it into the surrounding air. The result is a pleasant and dry sleeping environment. In addition, it is very easy to care for – washable up to 95 °C – and suitable for people with dust allergies. MAN-MADE SYNTHETIC FIBRE Duvets and pillows filled with modern textile fibres are functional, incredibly easy tocare for and extremely hygienic, whilst also being cuddly soft and lightweight. As suchproducts are washable at up to 60 °C or 95 °C and are suitable for tumble-drying, theyare particularly highly recommended for people with dust allerg ies.
