What is Baffle Box Construction?
A baffle is a rigid accordion-like fabric that is inserted in the box in a comforter. As the down fiber begins to loft, the baffle expands and permits the down to loft and expand to it’s maximum potential in the box. Unlike scroll and diamond boxes, both baffle box and sewn box construction prevent the down from shifting, thus eliminating cold spots in the comforter. We have been in the down comforter business for many years and we believe that to achieve maximum loft and warmth, that the best construction is either baffle box or sewn box throughout the entire comforter. Some manufacturers will have a separate elongated box sewn between the boxes and outer edge of the comforter. In our experience, this construction permits the down to shift and thus create cold pockets along the outer edges of the comforter.
