Where to buy feather quilt and which size?

We're getting a new bed and I'd like a feather quilt. I read that goose is lighter and warmer. Its a super king bed, so would you get 2 double duvets or an emperor? I've always up-sided the quilt, but never had a super king bed before. Any recommendations of where to buy?

Do you mean a duvet or an eiderdown?
The duvet you can get at Dunelm or John Lewis .
You can get Super King size, but they are a pain to change in terms of putting on fresh covers regularly. For that reason, we eventually got 2 single duvets, which are much easier to deal with.

@DelphiniumBlue Thanks. TBH, I never considered just an eiderdown. I was thinking feather and down within a duvet. Good point about putting the super king cover on.

We've got superking duvets/covers on our kingsize beds and an emperor on the superking. Nothing worse than not having enough duvet to wrap round on a cold winter night. Never had any issues changing them either.

I like white company for duvet inners. We've got the "feels like down" ones which are channel stitched to feel like feather but aren't as dusty.

You'll pay £££££s for an eiderdown, btw. I looked at some last year and they were all well over £1k.
