Product Information

First up, it's synthetic fillings. These duvets are filled with manmade fibres, like polyester and polymide that are made from petroleum-based plastics.

As you might've guessed – not every duvet is the same. The most obvious difference between the duvets is their size. Naturally, a grown person and a small child don't need the same size duvet. While it is true that a small person could benefit from a larger duvet, it does not work the other way around. So far we've mostly focused on natural duvets. However, synthetic duvets can be just as appealing! For one, synthetic duvets offer the largest number of different models.Natural sheep wool is one of the best materials for home textile. Wool offers not only heat-saving properties but also can relieve joint and muscle pain. Additionally, it increases the human immune resistance and its ability to fight colds and different infections. Due to its structure, the wool can provide a micro-massage effect, regulate blood pressure, calm the nervous system, relieve fatigue, and normalize sleep. Lanolin (animal wax), which is contained in wool, promotes the healing of wounds and fractures and has an anti-inflammatory effect. Our all seasons duvets save you space and money, giving you ultimate flexibility. Who wouldn't want a 3 in 1 duvet? Duvets aren’t supposed to be high maintenance. In general, a duvet should be cleaned once a year, unless it was soiled in some way. However, just because you need to wash it once a year does not mean you shouldn’t think about how easy it will be.

Cotton fibre is the most environmentally friendly fabric ever. 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. 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. Wool duvets are also a very common natural duvet filling. And for good reason! For one, wool is one of the best materials when it comes to temperature regulation. This means that winter duvets that use a wool filling will easily keep you warm and snug throughout the night. And even during the summer, a thinner wool duvet can keep you comfortable.Don't buy it if: your priority right now is affordability or ease of care. Although we think it's well worth investing in the great night's sleep it offers, there's no denying the price is prohibitive, and this duvet is dry clean only. 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. 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". A: No, a camel wool blanket does not have any smell. If you feel some odour, then the wool has been handled incorrectly. In this case, various insects can appear, which is dangerous to human health. Also, it is worth paying attention to the filler. For those who feel cold both in winter and in summer, it is reasonable to choose wool duvets. If you feel cold in winter only, you should select a down model. However, if you fall into the category of people who tend to feel hot all the time no matter the weather outside, it'd be best to opt for silk or fibre fillers.

The barter trade was a really interesting phenomenon: the number of fur skins brought by the Indians identified the size of the blanket they got. In the early 1800s, the Navajo tribes started their own weaving and began producing stunning woollen blankets with fascinating patterns in the shape of bands, diamonds, triangles, and diagonal lines that created optical illusions. European tourists dreamed of buying a Navajo duvet and even organized special tours to the local souvenir markets. Since the end of the XIX century, the duvets production developed, and this ethnic design mixed with the European style. Since then, the Navajo blankets have a traditional distinctive design and are still appreciated by lovers of stylish home accessories. Collectors Value Duvets. An all-season duvet is made up of two separate duvets of differing togs – one lightweight and one midweight – that can be attached together into one single heavyweight duvet or used separately. The idea being that you can mix and match to ensure you have the perfect weight duvet for spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Additionally, a quality synthetic duvet could be the difference between sneezing or not. For people that suffer from allergies, there is nothing more important than the hypoallergenic properties of their bedding. It wouldn't matter if you had a hypoallergenic mattress or sheets if your duvet was filled with dust mites. 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.

The best option if you want to make sure your duvet is properly cleaned is to use professional duvet-cleaning services. Another key aspect is drying. You'll want to make sure your duvet is properly dried after washing so that you eliminate the possibility of mould or other damages. You can air dry and machine dry your duvet. Winter duvets vs summer duvets vs all-season duvets A: In most cases, m odern fabrics are processed with a special agent due to which you will not have to wash your duvet too often (once every six months.). Although, over time, duvets need more thorough care.
