Duvets

When it comes to duvets, everyone has their favourite type. Some of us want a lightweight option to keep cool at night, others prefer their duvet to be thicker and warmer. A good duvet should be made from breathable fabric to keep your temperature steady while you sleep. For your perfect duvet you’ll need to consider the weight, size and form. It’s a lot to think about, but we’ve got duvets to suit every sleeping style – ensuring you’ll find one with just the right weight, warmth and ventilation for you.  

Summer duvet – a duvet for each season? 

In spring and summer, the temperature normally rises which can impact your sleep by making you feel too hot under your regular duvet. Even though a good duvet helps keep you dry and offers good ventilation it can still insulate too efficiently on a warm night. A simple solution is a thinner summer duvet that gives you that cosy feeling, without making you too hot. If you know that you tend to feel uncomfortable during warmer nights, choose one of our cooler, lightweight duvets for summer. 

Chose the right material and filling 

As well as choosing the warmth rating of your duvet, you can also take your pick from different materials which all have their own benefits and characteristics. 

Cotton, polyester, lyocell and polypropylene mixes 

Some of our quilts have a mixed soft fibre filling of cotton, polyester and/or polypropylene. These fibres are lightweight but maintain their shape and insulation properties. They also let your body breathe to help you maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the night. Lastly, duvets made with these materials can be washed at high temperatures, which is great for keeping dust mites at bay. 

Duck down and feather 

Duck down and feathers offer a great amount of insulation. A duvet filled with down and feathers will keep you warm while remaining light, soft and fluffy. It can also be put in the wash on a high temperature and tumble-dried to help kill dust mites.
