What is a hollowfibre duvet?
Hollowfibre is a type of polyester that’s been spun to create a springy fill that’s lovely and lofty when used inside a duvet. This springiness means you get a bouncy, thick duvet that’s not too heavy. Hollowfibre is very easy to wash and dry, making it perfect for children and allergy sufferers.
What is a microfibre duvet?
Microfibre is polyester that’s been treated to make it fluffy and soft. When used inside a duvet it feels very much like down. Similar to hollowfibre, microfibre duvets are very easy to wash and dry which means they’re ideal for children or allergy sufferers.
How to fluff up a duvet
Most duvets lose their ‘volume’ if not well-maintained, so it’s important to regularly fluff up your duvet. The best way to do this is to shake out your duvet before you make your bed each day. This moves the fill about to redistribute it and stops it from clumping. Then, when you change your bedsheets, give your duvet an extra good shaking. Putting a new duvet cover onto your duvet is normally the best way to do this! Find out more about caring for your duvet in our duvet care guide.
What is a synthetic duvet?
A synthetic duvet is filled with man-made fibres such as microfibre or hollowfibre, designed to mimic the soft, lofty feel of natural down. Lightweight, comfortable and easy to care for, synthetic duvets are a popular choice for those looking for an affordable alternative to feather and down bedding.
Are synthetic duvets good for allergy sufferers?
Synthetic duvets are often chosen by allergy sufferers because they contain no natural feather and down filling. Many can also be washed at higher temperatures, helping to keep your bedding fresh and clean.
How do synthetic duvets compare to feather and down duvets?
Synthetic duvets are designed to replicate the soft, cosy feel of feather and down. They are often more affordable and easier to care for, while feather and down duvets are typically prized for their exceptional breathability and natural insulation.
