FAQs

What does 'tog' mean?

Tog is a measure of thermal insulation. A lower tog rating (like 4.5) means the duvet is lighter and less warm, suitable for warmer seasons or well-heated rooms. A higher tog rating indicates a warmer duvet.

Is this duvet suitable for allergy sufferers?

This duvet features Micro-Fresh antimicrobial technology to help protect against bacteria and dust mites. However, if you have severe allergies to feathers or down, it's advisable to consult with a medical professional or consider hypoallergenic synthetic alternatives.

How often should I wash my duvet?

It is generally recommended to wash your duvet once or twice a year, or when visibly soiled. Frequent washing can reduce the loft and lifespan of the natural filling. Regular airing and spot cleaning for minor spills are often sufficient between washes.

Can I use fabric softener when washing?

No, it is not recommended to use fabric softener as it can coat the natural fibers, reducing their breathability and loft, and potentially damaging the filling.

What is RDS certification?

RDS stands for Responsible Down Standard. It ensures that the down and feathers used in the product come from animals that have been treated ethically, with no live-plucking or force-feeding.

Will this duvet be too warm for summer?

The 4.5 tog rating makes this duvet ideal for spring and autumn. For summer, a lower tog rating (e.g., 1.5 to 3.0 tog) or a lighter duvet would be more suitable to avoid overheating.

How do I ensure the filling is evenly distributed after washing?

After washing, the key is thorough drying. Use a large-capacity tumble dryer on a low heat setting. Add dryer balls or clean tennis balls to the dryer, and stop the cycle every 30-45 minutes to shake out the duvet and redistribute the filling manually. Continue this process until the duvet is completely dry.

Troubleshooting

Duvet has lost its loft or feels flat

Gently shake and fluff the duvet. If machine washable, tumble dry on a low heat with dryer balls to help redistribute the filling and restore loft. Ensure it is completely dry.

Duvet feels lumpy after washing

This is usually due to the filling clumping. Ensure the duvet was tumbled dry thoroughly with dryer balls. You may need to repeat the tumble drying process on a low setting, shaking it frequently. If the problem persists, consider professional cleaning.

Duvet smells musty

The duvet may not have been dried completely. Ensure it is thoroughly dried, preferably by tumble drying on low heat with frequent shaking. Airing the duvet outdoors on a dry, sunny day can also help remove odors.

Duvet feels cold or less insulating

Check that the duvet is fully lofted. Ensure it is being used with a suitable duvet cover. For cooler temperatures, consider layering or using a higher tog duvet if available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Upon receiving your duvet, remove it from its packaging. Gently shake and fluff the duvet to help the natural filling regain its loft. Place it inside your chosen duvet cover, ensuring it lies flat and evenly within the cover.

Compatibility:

This duvet is compatible with standard double-sized duvet covers. Ensure your duvet cover is made from breathable materials to complement the natural properties of the duvet.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash the duvet on a gentle or delicates cycle at a maximum of 40°C (104°F). Use a large-capacity washing machine to allow the duvet adequate space to move freely.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the natural fill and casing.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. It is crucial to dry the duvet thoroughly to prevent mildew and clumping of the filling. Periodically remove the duvet from the dryer and shake it to redistribute the filling and aid in even drying. This process may need to be repeated several times.
  • Professional Cleaning: For optimal care, professional laundering is recommended, especially for deep cleaning.
  • Airing: Regularly air the duvet outdoors on a dry, breezy day to keep it fresh. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the duvet in a breathable bag or the original packaging in a cool, dry place to maintain its quality.
