Product Information

Customers are saying: “Pleasantly light and breathable and very well made. Our king size duvet offers weightless warmth.” Don't buy it if: you truly want to splash out on the best duvet for your boudoir. This option is very good for its price, but the higher feather mix does mean it feels more 'clumpy' than the 90% down alternatives on our list. That said, this is still a great buy, and the addition of feathers does make the duvet a little more breathable than a duvet with a higher down percentage, albeit not quite as warm.

Don't buy it if: you're on a tight budget as this luxury duvet has a luxury price tag. If you're a hot sleeper or suffer from night sweats then you might find down too warm; opt for a more breathable wool-filled duvet instead to avoid overheating. And, if you're vegan, then the feather and down fill won't be for you. Long thought of as the Holy Grail of duvet fillings, down creates a plump, squishy and super soft duvet.However, that luxury feel comes with a luxury price tag to match.Although it will mean spending a little more, and may depend on your bed frame height and style, we'd generally advise sizing up with your duvet, especially if you sleep with a partner. Customers are saying: “This is a luxury duvet I can really snuggle into, which is perfect. It’s very snug and cosy in the colder months when we’re all concerned about how much heating we have on!” Microfibre– the 'luxury' version of hollowfibre, a microfibre fill is made of much finer strands of polyester resulting in a very lightweight duvet with a, yes, more luxurious feel. Some compare microfibre to the feel of down, but it has the upside of not running the risk of animal cruelty. However, again, being made of synthetics, the environmental impact of production and disposal is a concern. Like hollowfibre, microfibre can also cause overheating. Buy it if: you want an affordable winter duvet that still feels both warm and luxurious. This recycled polyester fill duvet has 10% silk mixed in, and whilst the proportion doesn't sound huge, it really makes a difference to the way this duvet feels, with a more luxurious touch and really nice drape on the bed, whilst still being lightweight. Even better it's a relatively budget buy, and made from certified recycled polyester from waste (like plastic bottles or manufacturing off-cuts) which helps the movement towards a more circular economy by reducing waste going to landfill. Compared with virgin polyester, recycled polyester helps conserve crude oil reserves during fibre production. Obviously, it isn't always convenient to have a different duvet for each season, so the middle ground of the 10.5 tog duvet is one of the most popular options.

Pros: Sustainably made, versatile – this is the only duvet you’ll need to buy, offers year-round comfort, free, carbon-neutral 3 day delivery We’ll be honest, this high-tech, innovative duvet system isn’t cheap. But it really does offer three luxurious duvets in one, meaning it’s the only one you’ll need, year-round. Here’s how: it comprises one 7 tog spring/autumn duvet and one 3.5 tog summer duvet. Cleverly, the two sections can be joined together with nifty corner snaps, ensuring they stay firmly in place within the duvet cover, and giving you an overall tog rating of 10.5 and keeping you perfectly warm in the winter months. Both sections boast a silky, patterned casing and the quality is palpable. Typical of the brand, the 3-in-1 duvet is made with strategic engineering: think Simba renew clusters and a Better Cotton cover with the brand’s Stratos cooling technology. This anti allergy duvet brags heat controlling properties too, and even when it’s doubled up, it proves surprisingly lightweight and breathable – ideal for hot sleepers that still need to feel cosy in winter.

After much testing, we think 13.5 tog is best tog duvet for winter, with most of our testers finding 15 tog can retain heat a little too much during the night and lead to overheating.

The all-seasons option also offers brilliant versatility; use the 4.5 and 9.0 duvets separately in warmer seasons and combine to create 13.5 togs of winter warmth.
