Feathers contain small quills that give duvets that snug, tucked-in feeling and pillows a firmer feel. Plumper and heavier than pure down, our hotel quality Savoy duvet combines high-quality feather and duck down for ultimate luxury and weight. It is our most popular duvet both with our five-star hotel clients and is by far our most requested duvet from hotel guests.
Scarcer than feather, down is one of the world’s best insulating materials and comes from the breast of ducks. Luxuriously soft and fluffy, it offers warmth without weight due to the way the big down clusters trap air.
Europe has a long tradition of raising geese tat are more mature, resulting in higher grades of down. Our light, soft and supremely comfortable goose down than Duvets and Pillows can provide lightweight, all-season warmth than duck down and are naturally breathable.
Synthetic duvets are often considered inferior to natural duvets, but a hotel quality microfibre duvet can feel just like the real thing. Warm, soft and supremely light, 100% microfibre duvets are anti-allergy with the drape of a luxury natural duvet. However, it is worth bearing in mind that our natural duvets and pillows are encased in a high thread count, dust mite proof outer shell which also keeps dust mites at bay.
The tog rating and filling affect the weight and warmth of a duvet. The higher the tog rating, the warmer the duvet. Things to consider include the temperature of your home and bedroom, your body temperature when your sleep.
10.5 tog
A 10.5 tog duvet provides perfect all year- round comfort for almost all hill station hotels. Most hotels use a natural filled 10.5 tog duvet to get the right weight, look and feel for their hotel and to create a fabulous night's sleep for their guests.
4.5 tog
For warmer climates and hot summer nights, a good quality 4.5 tog down or luxury microfibre duvet is ideal. We find that this tog rating is just right to keep you cosy all night long during warmer months without you overheating.
The weight of a duvet varies depending on the filling. If you like a heavier duvet that gives you a tucked in, cocoon-like feeling, opt for one with a higher feather content. If you prefer lighter duvets with the same warmth, a pure down duvet is for you.
