FAQs

What is the tog rating of this duvet?

This is a 13.5 tog duvet, which is considered a high warmth rating suitable for winter and colder temperatures.

What is the fill composition?

The duvet is filled with 85% duck feather and 15% duck down.

What are the available sizes for this duvet?

It is available in Double (200x200cm), King (220x230cm), and Super King (220x260cm) sizes. Each size includes two pillowcases.

Is this duvet suitable for allergy sufferers?

No, this duvet contains duck feather and down, which can trigger allergies in sensitive individuals. For allergy sufferers, duvets made from synthetic materials or hypoallergenic fillings are recommended.

How should I clean the duvet?

Professional dry cleaning is recommended. If you must wash it at home, use a large-capacity washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent, followed by extensive tumble drying on low heat.

Why is it pocket-stitched?

Pocket stitching, also known as baffle box construction, is used to keep the filling evenly distributed. This prevents the feathers and down from shifting to one end, ensuring consistent warmth and loft across the entire duvet.

What is the benefit of duck down compared to just duck feather?

Duck down, sourced from the belly of the duck, is softer and provides superior insulation compared to feathers alone. A blend with down makes the duvet lighter, loftier, and more comfortable while retaining excellent warmth.

Troubleshooting

Duvet filling feels uneven or clumpy.

Gently shake the duvet. If clumping persists, try to tumble dry on a low heat with dryer balls to help redistribute the filling. Professional dry cleaning is also recommended for severe clumping.

Duvet has a slight odor upon arrival.

Air the duvet outdoors in a well-ventilated area on a dry day. The natural scent of the fill should dissipate over time.

Duvet does not feel warm enough.

Ensure the duvet cover is breathable but not too sheer, as this can affect insulation. Check that the duvet is fully lofted; a flatter duvet will be less warm. For extreme cold, consider pairing with a lighter duvet or thermal sheets.

Difficulty in washing the duvet at home.

Due to its size and fill, home washing can be challenging. Professional dry cleaning is the most effective method. If washing at home, use a large capacity machine and a gentle cycle, followed by extensive tumble drying on low heat.
