FAQs
Is this duvet suitable for all seasons?
With a 15 tog rating, this duvet is primarily designed for autumn and winter due to its high warmth level. It may be too warm for spring and summer unless you are in a cooler climate or prefer a very warm sleeping environment.
Can I wash this duvet in a home washing machine?
Yes, it is machine washable. However, ensure your washing machine has sufficient capacity (typically 7kg or more) to handle the duvet's size and allow it to move freely during the wash cycle. If your machine is too small, consider professional cleaning or using a laundrette.
How often should I wash my duvet?
It's generally recommended to wash your duvet once or twice a year, or as needed if it becomes soiled. Regular airing can help keep it fresh between washes.
What does 'tog' mean?
Tog is a measure of thermal insulation. A higher tog rating means the duvet is warmer and provides more insulation. A 15 tog rating is considered very warm, suitable for cold weather.
Is the 'Soft Like Down' filling truly like down?
The filling is made of ultra-fine synthetic fibres expertly engineered to mimic the lightness, loft, and softness of natural down. While it provides a very similar tactile experience, it is a synthetic alternative.
What are the benefits of a hypoallergenic duvet?
Hypoallergenic duvets are made from materials that are less likely to cause allergic reactions. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with allergies to dust mites, feathers, or other common allergens found in natural bedding.
Troubleshooting
Duvet feels lumpy or uneven
Ensure the duvet is completely dry after washing. Try shaking it vigorously to redistribute the filling. If lumps persist, it may indicate an issue with the filling distribution within the baffles; try a gentle tumble dry with dryer balls to help even it out.
Duvet is not as warm as expected
Check that the duvet is fully lofted and not compressed. Ensure it is inside a duvet cover, which adds an extra layer of insulation. For very cold rooms, consider using a thicker duvet cover or an additional blanket.
Duvet has a slight odor upon opening
This is normal for new textiles. Air the duvet outdoors or in a well-ventilated room for 24-48 hours before use. The odor should dissipate completely.
Duvet is taking too long to dry
Ensure your washing machine has a good spin cycle to remove excess water. Tumble dry on a low heat and remove to shake and air out periodically. Consider drying it in sections if possible or using a commercial-sized dryer if your home dryer is too small.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unpack the duvet and allow it to air for a few hours before use to let the filling regain its full loft. Place it inside your duvet cover, ensuring all corners are aligned.
Compatibility:
This duvet is designed to fit standard UK duvet covers of the corresponding size. It is suitable for use on beds in bedrooms, guest rooms, or any sleeping area where extra warmth is desired.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C (104°F) on a gentle or delicates cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the filling and fabric.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. It is crucial to ensure the duvet is completely dry before use or storage to prevent mildew. You may need to remove it from the dryer periodically and shake it to redistribute the filling and speed up drying.
- Frequency: Wash as needed, typically 1-2 times per year, or when visibly soiled. Regular airing can help keep it fresh between washes.
