This launch guide maps the topic, the source base and the practical questions. Check the linked official authority before acting on a rule, deadline, price or safety requirement.
What this guide covers
What the labels legally mean: fibre names under the EU textile regulation, what a "90/10 down" declaration must contain, fill power, and which allergy marks are audited schemes against which are pure marketing.
Item pages cover down and feather against synthetic fills warmth-per-gram, tog and fill weight, mite-proof encasements and the 60 °C wash evidence, pillow type by sleeping position and when to replace one, weighted blankets with the 10% rule and the published insomnia trials, percale against sateen, linen and "bamboo" viscose labelling, thread count as a number that stopped meaning anything, and washing temperature against fabric life. ~16 pages.
How to use it
Use Duvets, pillows and bed linen to understand the inputs, units and assumptions before relying on an output. A useful result should be reproducible from the named source rather than presented as an unexplained score.
The page keeps the main question, its evidence base and its limits together in one canonical place. That makes it useful as a quick orientation and avoids splitting a broad subject into shallow pages before each narrower answer has enough verified material of its own.
