TXdown, a Natural Down Wadding
Designed by nature, refined by technology
Natural Down Wadding
Single Layer
TXdown is the world’s first screenless natural down wadding. By binding a fine selection of small down clusters and the finest down and feather fibres together in one fixed layer, we have created a new and innovative filling for a host of applications.
Innovative
New Down Applications
TXdown combines the advantages of working with a wadding with the benefits of a natural down filling. By combining 75% natural fibres with 25% technical fibres into a fixed structure, TXdown offers an optimal volume and insulation power. Working with a fixed layer compared to regular down means that the filling will stay in place, eliminating cold spots that might occur in traditional blow filled garments.

For a cleaner future
Natural &
sustainable
TXdown is an eco-friendly wadding made from natural and biodegradable down, down fibers and feather fibers that are responsibly sourced, available with RDS certification. The production process incorporates a waste material stream from the meat industry, where down and feathers are upcycled into an innovative product, thereby reducing waste. In addition, TXdown is committed to a cleaner environment by utilizing recycled down and feathers that are GRS-certified in some of our products. These efforts make TXdown the first-ever sustainable, biodegradable, upcycled, and recycled down wadding, contributing to a greener planet.
TXdown Technology
Fine Fibre Selection
TXdown is made from small down clusters and the finest selection of down fibres and feather fibres. This gives the wadding an ultimate soft touch with optimal loft and flexibility. The down and down fibres provide a high performing insulation and thermal comfort, suitable for all weather conditions.
Bicomponent Binding
By combining natural down with technology we are able to transform a loose down filling into a high performing insulting layer. Through the process of thermo-bonding with our special bi-component fibres we are able to bring structure and resilience into the natural down fibres.
Single Fixed Layer
The final result is an innovative natural down wadding. TXdown combines all the thermal benefits of a regular down filling with the advantages of a fixed layer (wadding). TXdown allows for an easier production process and improve the washability and drying time compared to loose down fillings.
Improve product performance
TXdown allows you to enhance the thermal performance, comfort, and functionality of your product.
Product Benefits
Thermoregulation
The natural down and down fibers regulate your body temperature, making it a preferred insulation for both summer and extreme winter conditions.
High Performance
Through its natural down characteristics, TXdown outperforms all down alternative waddings, both on thermal and comfort level.
No Cold Spots
The fixed layer structure of TXdown keeps all down and fibers in place without moving around. This effectively eliminates cold spots and improves the thermal insulation of the final product.
Breathable
TXdown has the capacity to take in humidity and slowly release it back into the air. This makes the wadding highly breathable, contributing to the thermal comfort.
"WARM BY NATURE,
STRONG BY DESIGN"
Easy Care
Due to its fixed structure, TXdown is easy to wash without clumping or deformations.
Quick Drying
TXdown dries on average 4 times faster than a loose down filling, reducing the risk of damaging the product after washing.
Recycled
TXdown is available as recycled wadding with GRS-certified down and feathers.
Sustainable
Txdown is an upcycled wadding, increasing the performance and applications opportunities of loose down materials.
European Innovation
& production
Developed, sourced, and produced in Europe, TXdown is a 100% European product.

Benefits
Strong & Flexible
The technical bi-component fibers bring structure and strength to the natural down fibers, binding everything together in a fixed, flexible layer that is easy to work with.
Endless designs
Thanks to its single-layer construction, one of the key advantages of TXdown® is that it can be quilted in virtually any design you want. This removes many of the limitations associated with regular blow fill constructions.
Easy Quilting
The fixed layer construction of TXdown allows you to work with regular quilting lines and template machines, eliminating the need of using time consuming blow fill constructions and filling machines.
Clean Production
Working with TXdown eliminates the need of loose blow fillings and helps to maintain a clean production floor while working with a down filling.
