Duvet Buying Guide
Duvet Buying Guide
Purchasing Duvets
Consider these factors when selecting a duvet:
- Choose duvets and pillows suitable for your local climate. Heavy, high-loft options are best for cooler areas.
- Opt for hypoallergenic or synthetic fillings if you have allergies.
- For guest rooms, consider low-maintenance, machine-washable bedding.
- Select a pillow that supports your sleeping position. Side sleepers benefit from firmer, higher pillows, while back or stomach sleepers need softer, lower options.
Types of Filling
Down & Feather
Down and feather fillings, either separate or combined, are natural and provide excellent insulation.
- Down is lightweight, soft, and superb for winter warmth.
- Feather fillings can feel heavier, but blending them with down reduces weight.
- These duvets require professional cleaning.
Synthetics
Synthetic fillings mimic natural options while being hypoallergenic.
- Microfibre fillings are soft, durable, and provide excellent warmth.
- Available in various weights and lofts, they suit all seasons and are often machine washable.
Wool
Wool duvets offer year-round comfort by regulating temperature and moisture.
- Breathable and self-regulating for warmth in winter and coolness in summer.
- Hypoallergenic, reducing dust mites and bacteria.
- Some wool products are machine washable; check labels for guidance.
Cotton
Cotton is a lightweight, breathable option, ideal for warmer climates and hot sleepers.
- Absorbs moisture to maintain even heat distribution.
- Hypoallergenic and easy to care for, with many options being machine washable.
Tencel
Made from eucalyptus fibres, Tencel is soft, eco-friendly, and moisture-absorbent.
- Absorbs and dissipates heat better than cotton.
- Hypoallergenic and ideal for environmentally-conscious buyers.
Corn
Corn fibre is eco-friendly and provides allergen-free comfort.
- Lightweight with excellent heat and moisture management.
- Machine washable for easy care.
