Eiderdown's high price is attributed to its sustainable, labour-intensive harvesting from wild eider ducks, ensuring no harm to the birds.
Its rarity and unmatched softness, insulation, and lightness elevate its status as a luxury bedding material.
Additionally, the limited supply, sourced mainly from Iceland, and its remarkable durability contribute to its high cost.
These factors combine to make eiderdown a precious, sought-after commodity in the luxury bedding market.
