Product Information

These all correspond to different mattress sizes. If you tend to feel cold in bed, go for the next size up from your mattress size (for example, if you have a double bed, use a king-size duvet), so that the duvet flows over the edges to keep warm air in and any draughts out. As the name suggests, feather and down duvets combine feathers, the outer part of a bird’s plumage, with down, the lighter, fluffier fibres that lie beneath feathers and provide insulation. The ratio of feather to down will affect the duvet's warmth and price. Whether you want a warmer winter duvet to keep you snug as temperatures plummet, you're fed up with overheating during the night and are looking for a more breathable duvet, or your budget buy is past its best and you're looking to invest in a duvet that will add some real luxury to bedtime, we've rounded up the best duvets to shop in this guide. Best winter duvets The duvet cover is a microfibre material which is made to be soft to the touch. In terms of practicality, this anti-allergy duvet is machine washable at up to 40 degrees. The special anti-allergy treatment is developed to remain on the duvet even after washing it.

The Silentnight anti-allergy duvet is filled with anti-allergy hollowfibre fill which actively prevents the duvet from dust mites and bacteria.

One downside to all natural duvet fillings, including feather and down, is that you shouldn’t wash them at home as they can lose their filling more easily and are difficult to get completely dry afterwards. If they are cared for properly and professionally laundered, feather and down duvets can last more than twice as long as synthetic alternatives. Wool duvets: pros and cons

Choose The Right Anti-allergy Duvet

Tog, size and type of filling were the three most important considerations reported by the duvet owners we asked. Other important factors included whether the duvet was machine washable, labelled hypoallergenic, and how much it cost. As well as having a tog rating (see below for more information on these), feather and down duvets are rated by their fill power. The higher the fill power, the larger each individual piece of down will be, resulting in a loftier, fluffier duvet, which provides better insulation. The terms non-allergenic, hypoallergenic and anti-allergenic are widely used by duvet makers in the UK, but what exactly does that mean and is there a difference? Feather/down duvets are also very popular, owned by around a third of members. Less popular types include wool, silk and other synthetic duvets.

If you're a hot sleeper or suffer from night sweats then you might also find this high down-mix fill too warm; opt for a more breathable wool-filled duvet like Floks Luxury British All Seasons Wool Duvetinstead to avoid overheating. Non-allergenic is where the actual duvet won't cause any allergies, but that doesn't mean dust mites are not present. Hypoallergenic duvets mean they are less likely to cause or trigger any allergies. Finally, anti-allergenic means that the duvets have been treated in some way to resist the buildup of dust mites or offer some sort of protection against their allergens. Choose The Right Anti-allergy Duvet Both my husband and I have been sleeping better since we bought this duvet. Only problem is I don’t want to get out of bed in the morning!!!!! Emily Attwood, founder of sleep-brand scooms agrees, ''We’d always advise a 9 tog to 13.5 tog for the winter months as this is ideal and will keep you warm. If your house is always on the warmer side, then a 9 tog duvet would probably suit you better throughout the winter months, and you wouldn’t want to go any higher. This will prevent you from overheating which can disrupt your sleep.' It is a 3 layer design, with the top layer is made from BCI cotton (Better Cotton Initiative) with a Stratos® finish. Stratos which is inspired by phase-change technology to regulate your body heat. The inner core is made from Aerelle® fibre that includes semiconducting materials to actively draw heat away and is also hypoallergenic, so it's unlikely to cause any allergic reactions. Finally, the bottom cover is the same as the top but with without the Stratos.Cons: More expensive than hollowfibre, has to be professionally laundered, some people can be allergic to the filling Dust mites are micro tiny creatures which breed and thrive in dark humid places e.g your duvet. The dead skin cells left behind in your bedding gives them plenty to feed on. Where do your allergens come from? well, we recommend you put away your food if your eating now.
