FAQs
What does 10.5 Tog mean?
Tog is a measure of thermal insulation. A 10.5 Tog rating indicates a medium warmth level, suitable for use during spring, autumn, and mild winter nights in average room temperatures.
Is this duvet suitable for people with allergies?
Yes, the Downland Hollowfibre Duvet is hypoallergenic as it uses synthetic fibres instead of natural down and feathers, making it an excellent choice for allergy sufferers.
How often should I wash my duvet?
It's recommended to wash your duvet every 6-12 months, or more frequently if it becomes visibly soiled or if you have allergies. Regular airing can also help keep it fresh between washes.
Can I use this duvet all year round?
The 10.5 Tog is most suitable for moderate seasons. For very cold winter nights, you might need a higher tog duvet or additional bedding. For hot summer nights, a lower tog duvet (e.g., 4.5 Tog) would be more appropriate.
What is the difference between hollowfibre and natural down?
Hollowfibre is a synthetic filling where each fibre contains one or more hollow holes. This traps air, providing insulation and loft similar to down. Natural down comes from the soft undercoating of birds and is known for its exceptional lightness and warmth, but it is also more expensive and can trigger allergies.
How do I ensure the duvet dries properly after washing?
Always tumble dry on a low heat setting and ensure the duvet is completely dry before use. Use dryer balls to help redistribute the filling and maintain loft. Check for any dampness in the centre of the duvet before storing or using.
Troubleshooting
Duvet feels flat or clumpy after washing
Ensure the duvet is completely dry. Tumble dry on a low heat, adding dryer balls or clean tennis balls to help break up clumps and restore loft. If air drying, ensure it is spread flat and turned regularly.
Filling is escaping through the cover
Check the duvet cover for any tears or holes. If the duvet cover is intact, a small amount of fibre escape might occur with synthetic fillings over time. Ensure the duvet cover is fully zipped or buttoned.
Duvet does not feel warm enough
The 10.5 Tog rating is suitable for moderate temperatures. For colder nights, consider adding a warmer blanket or investing in a higher tog duvet.
Duvet has an unusual odor
Ensure the duvet is fully dry after washing. If the odor persists, try airing the duvet outdoors in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. A slight 'new product' smell can dissipate with airing.
