FAQs
What does '10.5 Tog' mean for the duvet?
Tog is a measure of a duvet's thermal insulation or warmth. A 10.5 Tog duvet is considered a 'medium-weight' duvet, offering comfortable warmth suitable for use all year round, balancing coolness for warmer nights and warmth for cooler nights.
Are these pillows suitable for all sleeping positions?
Yes, the Silentnight Duck Feather and Down pillows provide medium support, making them versatile and suitable for back, side, and stomach sleepers. They adapt to your head and neck shape for personalized comfort.
Can I wash the duvet and pillows at home?
While some feather and down products can be home-washed, it's recommended to check the specific care label. If washing at home, use a large capacity machine, gentle cycle, and ensure thorough drying with dryer balls to prevent clumping and mildew. Professional dry cleaning is often the best option for longevity and maintaining loft.
Is this set suitable for allergy sufferers?
The product features an anti-bacterial treatment that protects against bacteria and dust mites. However, as it contains natural duck feathers and down, it may not be suitable for individuals with severe feather allergies. For severe allergies, a synthetic anti-allergy product might be more appropriate.
How long should I air out the bedding before first use?
It's recommended to air out the duvet and pillows for at least 24 hours, or ideally 48 hours, in a well-ventilated space. This helps them regain their full loft after being compressed in packaging and allows any natural scent to dissipate.
How often should I fluff my pillows and duvet?
To maintain optimal loft and even distribution of filling, it's recommended to fluff your pillows daily and your duvet every few days. This simple practice significantly extends their comfort and lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Duvet or pillows feel flat or lumpy.
This is often due to the natural settling of feathers. Regularly fluff your duvet and pillows by hand to redistribute the filling. If washing, ensure they are thoroughly tumble dried with dryer balls to restore loft.
Noticeable rustling sound from the duvet or pillows.
A slight rustling sound is normal for natural feather and down products due to the quills. This typically lessens over time with use. Ensure your pillowcases and duvet cover are properly fitted to minimize direct contact with the inner material.
Faint, natural odor from the filling.
A natural odor can sometimes be present with new feather and down products. This usually dissipates within a few days. Air out the duvet and pillows in a well-ventilated area, preferably outdoors on a dry day, for 24-48 hours before first use.
Small feathers poking through the fabric.
Occasional feather leakage can occur with natural fillings. This is generally minimal. Ensure you are using a good quality, tightly woven duvet cover and pillowcases. Avoid sharp objects or excessive force that could damage the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the duvet and pillows from their packaging.

- Place on Bed: Position the pillows on your bed and cover the duvet with your preferred duvet cover.
Compatibility
This set includes a Double duvet, which is compatible with standard double beds. The pillows are standard size and will fit most standard pillowcases.
Care
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the loft, comfort, and hygiene of your duck feather and down bedding.
- Duvet and Pillows: We recommend professional dry cleaning for best results. If machine washing, check the care label carefully. Typically, feather and down items require a large capacity washing machine (e.g., 9kg or more) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Use a low spin speed to avoid damage.
- Drying: This is the most critical step. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with dryer balls (tennis balls work well) to help break up feather clumps and restore loft. Ensure the items are completely dry before use or storage to prevent mildew and odors. This may take several hours and require multiple drying cycles.
- Fluffing: Regularly fluff your duvet and pillows to redistribute the filling and maintain their loft and support.
- Spot Cleaning: For small spills, spot clean immediately with a mild detergent and dry thoroughly.
