A good choice if you often feel warm while sleeping. The soft, light fibres keep their volume and insulation ability, allowing your body to breathe and maintain an even temperature throughout the night.

Warm duvets - 7.5 TOG

FAQs

All our duvets can be washed at 60ºC, the temperature at which mites die. Our synthetic fibre and lyocell duvets can be washed frequently, making them ideal for homes with children.

Our duvets made from natural materials such as feather and down are also suitable for machine washing, but it is recommended to do so less often and to add several tennis balls to prevent the feathers from becoming compacted.

Down & feathers have a natural smell which disappears once you have taken the duvet out of the package and aired it for some time. Alternatively, you can wash this type of duvet before use.

We recommend airing your down & feather duvet well when you wake up in the morning. This allows any moisture to evaporate before putting the duvet back on the bed. Where possible, air out in direct sunlight. Natural sunlight helps to disinfect your duvet. To wash your down & feather duvet, set the washer to a delicate warm water cycle (60°C or 140°F). Wash the duvet separately and only use one third of the normal amount of detergent.

Down and feather maintain body heat. Feather and down are natural materials. They “breathe” well and are very good at absorbing moisture. The feathers offer excellent comfort, breathability and consistency to the duvet, while the down is softer, fluffier and lighter. They create a warm and dry sleep environment so you can relax all night long. The feathers we use to make our duvets never come from live animals. See all down and feather duvets.
