FAQs
What does 'tog' mean?
Tog is a measure of a duvet's thermal insulation or warmth. A higher tog rating means a warmer duvet. A 6 tog duvet, like this one, offers lighter warmth suitable for warmer sleepers, spring/summer, or well-heated rooms.
Can I wash this duvet at home?
No, it is strongly recommended that you do not machine wash or tumble dry this duvet at home. The natural feather and down filling requires professional cleaning to maintain its quality, loft, and insulation properties.
Is this duvet hypoallergenic?
While natural fillings are often processed to minimize allergens, feather and down can still be an allergen for some individuals. If you have known allergies to feathers or down, a synthetic duvet might be a more suitable alternative.
How often should I air my duvet?
Regular airing is beneficial. We recommend airing your duvet for a few hours once every one to two weeks, ideally outside on a dry, breezy day, or near an open window. This helps to refresh the filling and remove moisture.
What is 'cassette pocket construction'?
Cassette pocket construction refers to the internal stitching that creates individual, sealed compartments across the duvet. This design prevents the feather and down filling from shifting, ensuring it remains evenly distributed and eliminating cold spots for consistent warmth.
What is the difference between feather and down?
Feathers are typically larger and have quills, providing more structure and weight. Down refers to the soft, fluffy clusters found under the outer feathers, offering superior insulation, warmth-to-weight ratio, and breathability without the weight or quills. This duvet uses a blend for optimal comfort.
What size duvet cover do I need for this duvet?
You will need a standard King size duvet cover to properly fit and protect this duvet.
Troubleshooting
Duvet feels flat or lumpy
This is often due to the filling settling. Regularly shake and fluff the duvet vigorously from different sides to redistribute the feathers and down evenly into the cassette pockets. Airing it out can also help restore loft.
Noticeable rustling sound
A slight rustling sound can be normal for feather and down duvets, especially when new, as the natural materials move within the cotton cover. This typically lessens with use. The high-quality cotton cambric cover is designed to minimize this.
Unpleasant odor
Natural fill products can sometimes have a faint odor when new, which is normal. Air the duvet out thoroughly in a well-ventilated room for several days. If the odor persists or reappears, professional cleaning may be needed. Ensure it's never stored damp.
Duvet feels too warm or too cold
The 6 tog rating is a light to medium warmth. If you find it too warm, ensure your room temperature is appropriate, or consider lighter sleepwear. If too cold, check your room's insulation and heating, or consider if a higher tog duvet would be more suitable for your sleeping environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the duvet from its packaging.
- Air Out: Upon first use, it's recommended to air out your duvet for a few hours. This allows the natural filling to breathe and expand to its full loft, and any residual new product scent to dissipate.
- Fluff: Gently shake and fluff the duvet to help the feathers and down settle evenly into the cassette pockets.
- Cover: Place your preferred king-size duvet cover over the duvet to protect it.
Compatibility
- Bed Size: This duvet is specifically sized for King beds.
- Duvet Covers: Use with a standard king-size duvet cover to protect the duvet and simplify cleaning of the cover.
- Climate: The 6 tog rating is ideal for moderate climates, warmer sleepers, or bedrooms with consistent heating. For colder environments, consider a higher tog rating.
Care
- Daily Care: Lightly shake and fluff your duvet daily to maintain its loft and redistribute the filling.
- Airing: Air your duvet regularly (e.g., once a week or every two weeks) by hanging it in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, to keep it fresh.
- Cleaning: Due to the natural feather and down filling, this duvet requires professional cleaning. Do not machine wash or tumble dry at home, as this can damage the filling and compromise its loft and insulation properties.
- Spot Cleaning: For small spills, gently blot the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the area is completely dry before covering.
- Storage: If storing for an extended period, ensure the duvet is completely clean and dry. Store in a breathable bag (not plastic) in a cool, dry place.
