Having tackled these questions, selecting your ideal duvet inner is simple. Let's explore the choices to find what works best for you. Read on or jump to the section that's most important to you:

• What is a Duvet Inner? And is it different from a Doona or Quilt?
• Understanding different types of duvet fillings
• Understanding weight, warmth & loft
• Picking the right size duvet
• Care & maintenance for your new duvet

Warmth & Weight:

Warm & Lightweight: Feather and down duvets provide exceptional warmth without weight, perfect for those who prefer a cosy yet feather-light feel.

Mid-weight & Warmth: Down Alternatives like High Loft & Supreme Soft fill duvets mimic the light feel of down, offering even warmth distribution and suitability for all seasons, especially for those with sensitivities to natural fibres.

Cool & Lightweight: Bamboo-filled duvet inners are light and airy, ideal for staying cool and comfortable in warmer months.

Loft & GSM

Loft and GSM are crucial terms to understand when choosing a duvet inner. Loft refers to the thickness of the duvet inner, influencing its visual appeal with higher lofts creating a bigger, fluffier appearance. However, loft primarily affects how it feels to be nestled under the duvet rather than its warmth. A high loft duvet inner can be as thick as three blankets.

On the other hand, GSM, or "grams per square metre," measures the density of the filling. This metric directly correlates with the duvet inner's warmth:

We offer duvet inners in sizes to fit single, king single, double, queen, king, and super king beds. While matching your bed size to your duvet inner size is common, we recommend going one size larger for extra comfort and coverage.

For instance, a king duvet inner on a queen bed ensures you're always covered, even with a blanket-hogging companion. This also gives your bed a plush, five-star hotel look.

Tips for choosing the right size:

1. Consider Mattress Depth: Modern mattresses are often deeper, so a larger duvet ensures adequate drape.
2. Avoid Blanket Fights: If you and your partner tend to steal covers, a larger size or even two separate smaller duvets can help.
3. Luxurious Aesthetics: Upsizing your duvet creates an elegant overflow on the sides, enhancing your bedroom's appearance.

Washing & drying instructions differ for different types of duvet inners, so we have provided some more general tips and some material-specific advice:

• Always follow the care instructions on the product label. Some duvets are machine washable, while others require dry cleaning.
• Wash your duvet at least once a year to maintain hygiene.
• Air dry your duvet in direct sunlight between washes to release moisture and take advantage of the sun's natural antibacterial properties.

Feather & Down Fill duvet inners: Dry clean only; shake regularly to restore loft and shape.

Down Alternative: Warm, gentle machine wash or hand wash separately and line dry. 

Wool-fill duvet inners: Machine wash or dry clean according to the label; use wool detergent and line dry in the shade.

Bamboo duvet inners: Wash gently in a machine with a mild detergent and air dry in the shade away from direct sunlight.

Following these care and maintenance tips, you can keep your duvet inner clean, fresh, and in excellent condition, ensuring a comfortable and restful sleep for years.

Storage Tips

When not in use, store your duvet in a sealed bag to keep it fresh. The original packaging is often ideal for storage. Remember to leave the packaging slightly open to allow for air circulation.

Protective Covers

Use duvet covers and protectors to extend the lifespan of your duvet. These covers protect against dirt and wear, making it easier to maintain cleanliness and hygiene.

Regular Maintenance

Fluff and air your duvet regularly to maintain its plump look and evenly distribute the filling. Ensure your duvet is completely dry before placing it back in the cover to prevent mould growth.
