What is the best duvet to buy?
A natural fill duvet is a worthwhile purchase for anyone who struggles to stay at a comfortable temperature at night. They're also an excellent answer if you suffer from minor allergies thanks to their naturally hypoallergenic properties.
Are wool duvets any good?
Wool is perfectly suited to duvet fillings. Proven to help you sleep longer and deeper, wool controls local humidity by absorbing and releasing moisture in the atmosphere so you'll always feel just right. Amazingly, wool can even keep two people sharing a bed happy; adapting to the two different body temperatures in the same bed. That said, not everyone likes wool fill duvets. In which case there are some other options...
Silk is a wonderfully cool duvet filling. It wicks moisture away from your body so you stay cool and fresh all night. It's perfect for balmy summer evenings or if you tend to get hot during the night. With a heavier, more fluid drape than our other duvets, silk bedding is incredibly durable; so is a real bedtime investment.
Cotton is renowned for its fresh, soft and cooling properties, so it's no surprise to hear it’s a very effective duvet filling at helping you keep your cool. Available in only a 2.5 tog, our cotton-filled duvet will wick away excess moisture and help you stay at the perfect temperature all night long.
Linen is a warm-weather superstar when it comes to our wardrobes and it’s just as hard-working as a duvet. Linen is a wonderfully supple, soft duvet filling with temperature-regulating abilities that make it perfect for the heat of summer.
