What Is the Difference Between a Comforter and a Duvet? Cons: More expensive than hollowfibre, has to be professionally laundered, some people can be allergic to the filling One downside to all natural duvet fillings, including feather and down, is that you shouldn’t wash them at home as they can lose their filling more easily and are difficult to get completely dry afterwards. If they are cared for properly and professionally laundered, feather and down duvets can last more than twice as long as synthetic alternatives. Wool duvets: pros and cons

Made of plush hollow fibre feeling, the duvet feels extremely soft to the touch, ensuring that your toddler is kept cosy and comfortable throughout the night. The brand of product you buy can vary in importance, from person to person. Some people will of course be much more particular about the brands they will use. Whilst others aren’t interested in the brand and are more interested in the overall quality or price of the product itself. Thankfully Silentnight is a brand that many customers have grown to love over the years and is very popular for items in the Duvets category. Our hollowfibre and microfibre duvets fall into the synthetic category often used by people who suffer from allergies and asthma. The silky soft duvet is the closest synthetic alternative to a natural down duvet giving you extra warmth and ensuring a featherweight feel. Its an affordable option so you don't have to break the bank. Silk is another luxurious and indulgent material, one that’s ideal for those looking for a soft duvet that’s also lightweight. The price of silk duvets can be a bit steep, so be wary of that. Long thought of as the Holy Grail of duvet fillings, down creates a plump, squishy and super soft duvet.However, that luxury feel comes with a luxury price tag to match.The breathable material will prevent overheating during the night, which is especially important if you live in a hot climate.

Tog, size and type of filling were the three most important considerations reported by the duvet owners we asked. Other important factors included whether the duvet was machine washable, labelled hypoallergenic, and how much it cost. We asked duvet owners whether they felt buying one helped. One third felt their anti-allergic or hypoallergenic duvet had made a fair difference to allergy symptoms and around one in five felt it helped just a little. Microfibre duvets are a relatively recent addition to the market, but they aren't to be confused with hollowfibre. Microfibres are finer but don't have the hollow space that hollowfibre has. Instead, microfibre is intended to be a synthetic equivalent to down; its extra-fine fibres give the same feel.These all correspond to different mattress sizes. If you tend to feel cold in bed, go for the next size up from your mattress size (for example, if you have a double bed, use a king-size duvet), so that the duvet flows over the edges to keep warm air in and any draughts out. Tog is a measurement of how thermally insulating, and therefore warm, a duvet is. A high tog (10.5-15) is better for winter, while a low tog (1-4) will be light enough for summer.

Although you can get duvets in almost any tog rating, the most common togs are 4.5 tog which makes a great summer duvet weight, 10.5 tog which tends to be the best bet for autumn and spring, and 13.5 tog which offers good winter warmth. That said, personally, we think 13.5 tog remains one of the best winter duvet weights, with some finding 15 tog can retain heat a little too much during the night and lead to overheating.Then there are the more traditional, natural fillingsto consider. These range from all types of feathers and down to wool filling. Not only will you be comfortable during the night, but taking care of your duvet will also be a breeze. The Slumberdown Climate Control Duvet is both washing machine and dryer-friendly, so you’ll only need a few minutes to clean it.
