The Holy Grail of Duvets ???

27 replies

Royalshyness · 08/09/2024 20:54

My duvet is driving me nuts 😂 it’s thin, doesn’t sit right in the cover. I would love to save up for a really good quality chunky duvet insert. Not one that makes me sweaty but has a heavy weight to it ? Also the cover- mine always wrinkle around and the duvet doesn’t fit- any tips

I went into a department shop and tried loads and all were thin and expensive (I will go up to 100 for top notch once in a lifetime duvet 😂) obviously would rather it cheaper !

Coverless duvet! Game changer in this house. It's washed and dried in five hours and back on the bed. No covers to change.

Oh thank you Dm - does it feel heavy ?? Sorry for silly question I could put some wool blankets on the bed (I’m really struggling to sleep lately and when I stay in hotels I love the weight on me

I bought a wool Baavet duvet about 11 years ago and it's the best duvet I've ever used. It has a heaviness to it - it's not all light and puffy like a down duvet.
It's probably outside your budget although they have a bargain corner on the website for slightly imperfect duvets that are much reduced.

You’re a star nanny I’ll google those. I actually would go higher if it means it lasts a decade and I sleep better as I am ratty and have bad skin and dark eyes which doesn’t help my aging face (not that I’m sun 😂)

Weighted blanket? They are heavy without being too hot

Dmsandfloatydress · 08/09/2024 21:29

It's doesn't It's light but 10.5 tog so goes in the washing machine. We all love them.

Tristar15 · 08/09/2024 21:31

You need a coverless duvet, I think the fine bedding company do them. I’ve got two and love them!

loobylou10 · 08/09/2024 21:42

Cover less duvet here, cotton waffle one. Not heavy though but I couldn't stand when my duvet didn't fit the cover properly and slipped down. Cover less one is washed and dried and back on the bed mid afternoon with no fuss. Game changer.

TheGoddessMinerva · 08/09/2024 21:46

I have a wool one from TK Maxx and love it.

spikeandbuffy24 · 08/09/2024 21:51

Woolroom, they often have good offers on

My "HOW much?!" and "we used to burn candles for light" dad bought one after seeing mine

LamasPyjama · 08/09/2024 21:53

I think you should get a wool duvet. It's just what you want. Good quality with some weight to it.

I thought that coverless duvets were light.

Sprig1 · 08/09/2024 21:55

Another vote for Baavet. Check out their seconds.

olivehater · 08/09/2024 21:56

We use coverless duvets here but they are not particularly heavy. The cotton waffle one from the fine bedding company is probably the heaviest. They are game changing but not sure if would suit the op.

Agree, we have wool duvets, they are amazing. Devon Duvets are fantastic, but if they are over budget, Soak and Sleep are good too.

GameOfJones · 08/09/2024 22:03

I agree that coverless duvets are light, but I still love them so much for not bunching up (having an empty bit of duvet cover used to give me the rage) and no faffing with duvet covers.

We have ours from the Fine Bedding Company but because it's a king size duvet we have the summer weight ones so they wash and dry easily and quickly. We have a really thick, heavy blanket we use over the top in the winter.

I have heard very good things about wool duvets so that may be what you're looking for! No idea if they fit nicely in the covers though.

Royalshyness · 08/09/2024 22:18

You are great 👍
what I might do is get the wool one and then spring summer get the Coverless as it would be easy to wash and dry quickly !!

wool ones v pricey but they are exactly what I am looking for !!
I’ll get to get one from outlet !
thanks again

Yes gameofjones.. good question

do the wool ones bunch up or do they sit nicely in the cover ?

You won't regret a wool duvet! I've had one for about 15 years. Actually it's two as there's thin one and a thicker one that you can popper together.
They are cool in the summer, warm in the winter and I never get overheated like I sometimes do with down or, worse, polyester duvets.
One of the best purchases I ever made

usernamealreadytaken · 08/09/2024 22:39

We bought out second wool duvet (first was ruined by launderette 😭) about fourteen years ago, and it’s still perfect. It was a Fogarty Best Night’s Sleep, but similar to this I think. Warm in winter, cool in summer, no need for a different duvet for each season.

lemoncrisp · 08/09/2024 22:50

Baa-vet is nicely weighty and drapy, and lies neatly flat but it hasn't solved the issue of throwing it on and off all night as I get hot then cold. Bit disappointed.

TheCompactPussycat · 08/09/2024 22:58

Another wool duvet devotee here. Much better for helping you to regulate your temperature which is great if you're menopausal.

I’ve got one from Devon Duvets not cheap but the best duvet I’ve ever purchased (used to have really expensive down ones) and it stays in the corners Ive got the summer weight one and use it year round.

Summerhillsquare · 08/09/2024 23:10

Another vote for wool. Mine is Slumberdown and was less than 50 quid on eBay.

RogueFemale · 08/09/2024 23:12

I had shit duvets for decades and finally got a goose down one about 7 years ago, from John Lewis. Sheer bliss.

I have this one and would recommend. It has a nice weight to it, doesn't move around or bunch up in the cover, is much easier to get covers on than flimsier duvets and is very temperate in hot and cold temperatures. I absolutely love it. Can't compare to a more expensive wool version as I haven't tried them but I'm very happy to stick with the dunelm one I've got.
