5 types of duvets and how to decide which is best for you

[@Foxytrot-sx2vd]

She didn't explain that there is a baffle box (stitch) and a box (stitch) cell on duvets. A baffle box will permit and preserve better lofting. She also didn't explain that the higher the thread count on a cotton cover means less "crinkly" sound, so that is a personal preference. Also an all natural duvet feathers and feathers are more likely to discolour their cover over time (yellow or tea staining) because of the natural oils found in the feathers - that is why a duvet cover may be preferred (to hide it). They may also retain your body oils. She could have mentioned that a natural down or feather will also require care when washing so it does not remove the natural oils in the down feather or feathers. The natural oils give the feathers resiliency and longevity so they retain their warmth. I have a special down soap I use and wash our duvet and down coats at the same time in my heavy duty front load machine. I put it on extra spin, place it in my dryer to start drying with some tennis balls (the dog loves this part) and then hang it on my line with occasional rotating then give it a good shake to get the air back in. I have never dry cleaned. Surely my ancestors never did, right? I get my down soap on Amazon. A natural duvet will likely last 10 - 15 years easily but I've had mine longer because it has retained its cells. You can check the condition of the feathers in the cells by holding them up to the light. Always rotate a natural feather or down feather duvet, even with box or baffle box cells That way your not putting wear on the same cell feathers all the time causing faster wear. And never be shy about giving them a violent shaking when making the bed to build the air in the cells. The air builds more insulation and warmth.I prefer the down feathers and a pure cotton cover, actually I love mine. When we go camping - so does the duvet. Look for responsibly harvested feathers (usually European or Canadian), that means the feathers are from animals that were already harvested for food sources. If the cover and feathers are 100% natural, they can go to a landfill and will safely deteriorate and return to the earth if you have washed them carefully (no residues). If they contain any unnatural fibres - like a petroleum product - they harm to the earth.

[@chriswilliams6568]

you always need a duvet cover. Then you can wash that and only wash or dry clean the actual duvet annually.

If you're like me and like to wash your bedding weekly and don't want to go to the dry cleaner just buy a duvet cover. They're easy to wash, make your comforter fluffier and keep the duvet protected so it can last longer.

i wish in North America we used the Tog warmth measuring system that they use in the UK. 2.5 being for summer and 13.5 a winter weight, with other weights between, 3.5, 7, 9, 10,5. they also have a combination of 4.5 plus a 9 that stick together or take apart for all seasons.

[@rrpearsall]

I was so pissed off being an American and not knowing duvets existed.. my entire childhood was waking up from being to hot or too cold every hour

[@weamalgassim]

Totally agree. We use tog back home and I am currently in the US and I find it difficult to know what duvet should I buy for the upcoming winter. Any advice Midwest weather?

[@erinseymour6806]

I once had an amazing top of the line goose feather duvet. it was a Christmas gift from my now husband. I was new to the whole process. I didn't know it needed a cover, I also didn't know it wasn't machine washable. at first I went and got it professionally cleaned and when I picked it up my duvet it smelt of cigarettes; btw we don't smoke! so I took matters into my own hands and washed it myself. yet again not a good idea. its been 4 years now since my duvet RIP. but now I'm looking for a replacement. Why spend so much money? its been 4 years and I still can't get over how great that damn blanket was!

[@sandram8761]

[@Lisa-ym1si]

Garnet Hill Essential Core Loft it’s the perfect down alternative. I use the blanket in the spring and fall and the comforter in the winter. Their side sleeper pillows are great too.

[@jesgue2338]

Why wool was not introduce here? 🙃

[@steveco1800]

Agree, it’s a great option - not much more than polyester but better temperature regulation and sustainability.

[@RubenWhitter]

Extremely helpful! Thank you so much for this! Dream duvet here we go!!

[@serenityjoy1872]

I'm glad that she mentioned washability- for my lifestyle I would need a washable duvet, even with a duvet cover.

[@Lilly-b8h]

We need to start talking about alternatives such as wool duvets! They are far more comfy and exceptionally good at regulating temperature and moisture. Also they contain no chemicals or synthetic materials that harm the body in numerous ways! I recently got my wool duvet from a brand that works only with GOTS and Oeko-Tex certified materials and I saw a sudden improvements in my sleep and overall health!

[@Quanze1]

How has your experience with the wool been so far, compared to down?

Can’t lie the thumbnail did frighten me

[@saint_snow]

Fill power is not how much inside but is the quality of the down. Higher the better as they are larger down clusters requiring less of them to get the same effects. However they will be more expensive. Ideally you want something that is all down at around 700-850 fill power. Although they are pricey, these should be considered a lifetime investment. I personally have a lightweight one that works well all year long with a couple linen covers. I just change the cover every week and wash the previous.

[@laurynbryant3398]

Where did you buy yours from?

[@saint_snow]

@@laurynbryant3398 Parachute. One of the best price to performance down duvets I've found. They do have a sale a couple times a year so you can get one cheaper than list price.

[@isaiasponce1906]

Hi just seeing your review I bought the parachute all season down - do you think it’s worth the investment 1 year out?

[@saint_snow]

@@isaiasponce1906Overall yes. I found that If you live in a colder climate then the all season is great. However, I actually recently sold mine and got the lightweight version a few months back. I found that the all season was just a bit heavy ouside of the cool fall and winter months but once spring came it was just too much blanket especially I you use their linen covers since it's a robust heavier linen than most brands (this is a good thing). But it would make the duvet heavier and thus a bit warmer. After rechecking all other brands within the same price range, ie. Brooklinen, Coyuchi, Snowe etc. Parachute's lightweight is actually the ideal "all-season". Its lighter at 28oz filling than the all season 35oz. and yet is still 750 fillpower to keep it light and warm yet breathable in the warmer months. It is still perfectly fine to use even now as summer approaches. None of the other brands have this balance in my opinion. They either are too light with less filling or using lower fillpower, or both. And as I said in the original comment, higher fillpower is a higher quality down. Now I did notice when using the lightweight that it was noticably thinner out of the packaging but all you have to do is shake it out and just use it normally. After a few days it will naturally expand and fluff up almost as much as the all season. I basically came to the conclusion that if you truly want that one and done do it all duvet, it's better to go a bit on the lighterside. In the winter for me it worked just fine and if it hapens to get really cold on some nights, I just throw on a light quilt over it. You can always add a layer for something extra from time to time when you need it but you cant remove anything from a thicker duvet when its too warm. Hopefully this wall of text helps a bit, I still think Parachute makes the best midrange priced duvets with still the same performace as something twice the price.

[@TasminBassettArt]

Do People in the US not normally have a cover on these duvets??

[@ayannahendricks6266]

I haven’t watched the whole video because they obviously know nothing but I’m an American and have never not had a duvet cover on my insert but as a child- before I went to collect and learned about duvets from my international friends. I always slept with a synthetic comforter not duvet cover. Many people in the us just use a comforter still.

[@ceciliabruck3570]

This is called a duvet insert or a comforter. The duvet insert is used with a duvet cover. To get a full and plush feel the insert needs to be bigger than the cover. I have a 15-inch mattress and am having a heck of a time finding a duvet cover big enough to cover it. Then a harder time finding a insert to give that full plush look you see in all the ads. Notice how they pull the duvets way down the bed to cover the mattress and box springs in the ads. That is because it doesn't cover them. So annoying. I need a 110 x 98. Where are they?
