Bianca Dapper Ducks Cotton Double Duvet Set Natural BD/55615/R/DQS/NT

Product Information

An all-season duvet is made up of two separate duvets of differing togs – one lightweight and one midweight – that can be attached together into one single heavyweight duvet or used separately. The idea being that you can mix and match to ensure you have the perfect weight duvet for spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Don't buy it if: the price makes your eyes water. As well as being the softest duvet fill, down is also the most expensive fill, and 90% Hungarian goose-down is pretty much the best quality you can get. 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. During the summer and spring, the temperature normally rises. This can naturally affect your sleep by making you feel too hot under your regular duvet. Even though a good duvet helps absorb moisture, breathes and offers good ventilation it can still insulate too efficiently for a warm night. A good solution is to have a cooler summer duvet that helps you keep the cosy feeling of wrapping yourself in a quilt, but without making you feel overheated. Choose one of our cooler duvets as a summer duvet if you know that you tend to sweat and get hot during warmer nights. Choose the right material and filling 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. Everyone likes a different type of duvet.
