Product Information

Buy it if: you're looking for luxury as well as warmth. No duvet fill feels quite as sumptuous as down, and this Soak & Sleep Hungarian goose-down option is one of the best quality we've come across. It's super warm yet lightweight, drapes beautifully on the bed, and feels super luxurious – you'll instantly feel like your bedding has levelled up. The all-seasons option also offers brilliant versatility; use the 4.5 and 9.0 duvets separately in warmer seasons and combine to create 13.5 togs of winter warmth. Then there are the more traditional, natural fillingsto consider. These range from all types of feathers and down to wool filling. The Slumberdown All Seasons 3-in-1 15 Tog Combi Duvet is filled with the hollow fibre. It is an innovative polyester thermo fibre. Due to the hollow fibre structure, the duvet has a good heat capacity. The siliconized impregnation does not allow the fibre to lump and, as a result, the bedding keeps its nice appearance for a long time. Don't buy it if: you really want to layer on the warmth. This 13.5 tog duvet is plenty snuggly enough, but we think the wool and down options just pip it to the post in terms of cosiness. That said, this synthetic option is far easier to care for as it's machine washable and can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. The box baffle design is the most common type. The filler is distributed over separate "boxes". Dividers in them do not allow the filler inside the blanket to move. The quilts are made on special quilting machines. Inside a quilt, the filler is held in place by a special stitch that does not let the filler move into the corners of a blanket and "get stuffed".

Furthermore, if you get really hot during the night – consider a silk duvet. Silk duvet is more than just a luxury item. Silk is arguably the most breathable and temperature regulating material you can get and any hot sleeper could benefit from it. Another solution is to opt for an 'all-season' duvet. This consists of two separate lighter tog duvets that can be joined together (usually by way of press studs) to make a warmer winter duvet. Most commonly an all-season duvet will include a 4.5 tog and 9 tog duvet that can create a 13.5 tog duvet once combined, or a 4.5 tog and 10.5 tog duvet that will create a warmer 15 tog combination. On the other hand, synthetic filled duvets are generally easier to take care of, meaning, you could wash them using a normal cycle and temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius. Naturally, you’d want to make sure the duvet fits in your washing machine. Our all seasons duvets save you space and money, giving you ultimate flexibility. Who wouldn't want a 3 in 1 duvet? The most expensive blanket is that made of silk. It was first made in China in the third century BC.

Basically, it consists of cellulose. The special processing makes the cotton products hypoallergenic and gives the material good hygroscopic properties. Recently, the popularity of cotton fillers has grown significantly. It's easy to take care of, pleasant to touch, and, of course, it's all-natural.

Microfibre– the 'luxury' version of hollowfibre, a microfibre fill is made of much finer strands of polyester resulting in a very lightweight duvet with a, yes, more luxurious feel. Some compare microfibre to the feel of down, but it has the upside of not running the risk of animal cruelty. However, again, being made of synthetics, the environmental impact of production and disposal is a concern. Like hollowfibre, microfibre can also cause overheating.
