FAQs
What does 'Soft Like Down' filling mean?
It means the duvet is filled with ultra-fine synthetic fibres designed to replicate the soft, light, and lofty feel of natural down, without using any actual feathers.
Is this duvet suitable for people with allergies?
Yes, the synthetic 'Soft Like Down' filling is hypoallergenic, making it a good choice for individuals who are sensitive to natural down or feather allergies.
What is a 13.5 tog rating?
A 13.5 tog rating indicates a high level of warmth, making this duvet ideal for use during colder months like autumn and winter, or for those who prefer a warmer sleeping environment.
How often should I wash my duvet?
It's generally recommended to wash your duvet every 1-2 years, or when it appears visibly soiled or loses its freshness. Regular airing can help maintain its condition between washes.
Can I dry clean this duvet?
It is best to machine wash and tumble dry on a low setting. Avoid dry cleaning unless the care label specifically permits it, as it can damage the synthetic filling.
What are the dimensions of the duvet?
The dimensions vary depending on the size purchased (e.g., single, double, king, super king). Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's listing for exact measurements.
Does the microfibre cover feel hot?
The microfibre cover is designed to be silky and breathable, helping to regulate temperature. However, personal preference for warmth can vary.
Troubleshooting
Duvet feels lumpy after washing
Ensure the duvet is completely dry. Fluff the duvet vigorously by hand or in a tumble dryer on a low heat setting with dryer balls or clean tennis balls to break up any clumps and restore loft.
Duvet is not warm enough
For colder nights, consider using a warmer duvet cover or layering another lighter tog duvet underneath. Ensure the duvet is fully fluffed to maximize its insulating properties.
Duvet cover does not fit properly
Verify that the duvet size (e.g., single, double, king) matches the size of your duvet cover. Ensure the duvet is evenly distributed within the cover.
Duvet feels flat or lacks loft
Gently shake and fluff the duvet. If it has been stored compressed, it may take some time to regain its full loft. Ensure it is not being over-compressed in storage.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and loft of your duvet:

- Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure the duvet is rinsed well to remove all soap residue.
- Tumble Dry: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. It is crucial to dry the duvet completely to prevent clumping of the filling. You may need to add dryer balls or clean tennis balls to help break up clumps and restore loft.
- Air Dry: If air drying, lay the duvet flat on a large surface or hang it over multiple lines, ensuring good air circulation. Rotate and fluff it regularly to ensure even drying.
