Down Duvets

Down Duvets

DOWN is considered the most superior of all duvet fillings. It provides a great deal of warmth yet is extremely soft, light and compressible, so down duvets don't have the weight or bulk of their feather duvet or hollowfibre duvet counterparts. Plus, if looked after properly, down duvets will last a lot longer, generally three times longer, than their synthetic counterparts. Unfortunately, this tends to balance out with their initial cost being three times as much.

Down Duvet FAQs




What is the difference between goose down and duck down?
Goose down is the right choice for you if you are looking for high quality bedding. Goose down duvets are more expensive than duck down duvets as the down clusters from a goose are bigger and lighter than those from a duck. This means they can trap more air in between them, so goose down duvets are wonderfully warm yet incredibly light. Duck down is the down of choice if you are looking for a cost effective down duvet that provides a more “tucked-in” feeling.

There are also different qualities of goose down, defined by:

  • The region from where the down is grown. For example, European goose down is considered to be amongst the finest down available.
  • The mix of pure down clusters and small feathers. All down duvets and pillows contain some fine feathers in the fill. Indeed, the only way to produce 100% down is to extract the small feathers by hand, which is virtually impossible, and cannot be achieved under the normal commercial manufacturing process.

We offer three options of Goose Down duvets, their fillings comprise of the following down to feather percentages:

Allergy Concerns

Are allergies to dust mites more prevalent in down duvets?
Contrary to popular belief down bedding is not a preferred habitat for house dust mites. Nor does down or feather provide any nutrients for mites. So with normal care, hardly any dust mites are found in down bedding due to the following reasons:

  • The tightly woven cotton cover fabric represents an almost impenetrable barrier for dust mites (though they are still able to penetrate through the stitching holes, and do so).

The reason allergy sufferers are advised to use microfibre bedding, rather than down bedding, lies primarily in the easy-care qualities of the synthetic equivalents. As far as practicality is concerned, it is difficult for a down duvet to compete with a duvet such as the Spundown duvet, where the microfibre filling is so highly compressible that all sizes of duvet fit into a domestic washing machine. It may also be washed at 60°C, the temperature that kills dust mites. Unfortunately, down bedding is not easy to wash and dry at home and so this is not recommended.

How to Care for Down


What’s the best way to protect my down duvet?
Keep your down duvet covered with a duvet cover to protect it from the oils in your skin; these break down fabric, making it brittle and staining it yellow. Wash your bed linen once a week. If, however, you use a flat sheet as well as a duvet cover, you won't have to wash the duvet cover quite as often. Should your duvet have a problem area, you can spot-wash it using a mild liquid detergent. But be sparing, for if you use too much detergent you won’t be able to get the suds out.

How often should I have my down duvet cleaned?
Once a year should be adequate. But if you use the same duvet all year round then twice a year would be more advisable.

What's the best way to clean a down duvet?
Although many manufacturers claim that you can wash down duvets in a standard domestic machine, we DO NOT recommend you do so as it is very difficult to achieve a good result. Down filled duvets aren’t easy to dry properly, so they tend to lose their loft, that’s their wonderfully light, fluffy shape. So, unless you have an extra-capacity washing machine, like those available at laundrettes, we strongly recommend you have your down bedding commercially laundered.

Storing Down
One of the great things about down is that it is highly compressible when packed. However, tight packing of down products for routine storage should be avoided. Down duvets, pillows or mattress toppers should be stored well aired in a ‘breathable’ cotton bag, never in plastic.
