Here is how to choose the right duvet
A duvet is essentially a warm, fluffy blanket made of a soft bag that gets filled with feathers, wool, or other synthetic fibres to provide you with warmth and comfort. This is often best used with a duvet cover, which enhances its physical appearance.
While we cannot control the winter temperatures, one thing you can do is ensure you are adequately covered and kept warm, especially at night. It is crucial to invest in the right duvet, as each type serves a specific purpose. Here’s how to choose the right duvet for your needs:
Down duvets: Known to have light and fluffy undercoats. Down clusters duvets have a round centre known as a plumule. The round shape traps air, allowing for warmth. They boast superior insulation, making them ideal for chilly climates.
Hollow fibre: Hollow fibre duvets are lightweight, breathable, and excellent at trapping heat, making them ideal for allergy sufferers and those seeking easy-care bedding.
Ball fibre: duvets provide premium stuffing solutions suitable for various home textile applications. This high-quality filling is made from regenerated fibres, ensuring durability and resilience while maintaining softness, comfort, and warmth.
