Coverless Duvets - how on earth do you wash and dry them?

[WishyyWashyy]

Especially the King Size ones and if you don't have a tumble dryer.

Having googled, one site said you only need to wash them every 2-3 months which sounds minging.

What am I missing here?

Doesn't it feel damp and cold? ( unless you live in a very hot country)
I'd want it in the airing cupboard for at least a week!!

Nope, completely dry and cozy.

Where did you buy them from, please?

Or also can't stand up, balance or remain stable - I gave up trying to put the cover on a duvet years ago. I was risking shortening my life!

Oh Christ with people having washed pooey nappies in them?

They don't wash pooey nappies in a tumble dryer
I washed the duvet at home and dried it in the drier

You have posted what I was thinking

They have been a game changer for me as I was having to replace duvets regularly due to medical issues , mine go into the washer (have a 12kg one) and then over the bannister for the day and are dry again for night time

They are REALLY fast drying!! I don't have a tumble dryer either, and I hang my king sized one over a door 🤷‍♀️ I wash it first thing in the morning and it's always dry by bedtime. In summer it's dry in an hour or so out on the line.

I was really surprised at how light it is when I first got it...it's like sleeping wrapped in a soft cloud (but despite this, it's really warm!) I have two...a thicker 'winter' one and a really slim summer one.

I'd never go back to traditional duvets now 🥰

I have a super king sized which is easily washed and dried in a day. I won't tell you how often I actually wash it. More than they suggest but less often than every 2 weeks 😁 but importantly more than when I had a normal one as it was such a pain.

I adore mine and I wash them every two weeks. I have two so I can just swap the sets over anyway but they are really fast drying. It would easily dry in a day hung over the bannister. I tumble dry mine just for ease but in summer hang them on the line and they come out of the machine practically dry anyway!

The seersucker one from Fine Bedding Company is my favourite of the ones I have. I have the king size summer weight one and then just add a blanket over the top in the winter.

Thank you, that's really helpful!

I don't like synthetics especially when I'm sleeping. I want to be cocooned in natural fibres. My duvet is wool and silk filled and the covers are all high thread counts Egyptian cotton. I can't imagine sleeping wrapped in plastic

I have two, both super king 4.5 tog, night lark brand. I wash them every 2-4 weeks depending on when I get round to it. They both easily fit in our normal size washing machine (not together I should add) and then 1 cycle on easy care very dry and hung over a door or the bannister overnight, or two cycles in the dryer. Our dryer is one that thinks it knows when the clothes are dry but it is frequently wildly inaccurate. Our washing machine cannot fit a 7 tog double feather duvet, but can comfortably fit the 4.5 super king. The only thing I don’t like about them is they are polyester or whatever microfibre is made from, I wish the cover was 100% cotton. It does say in the description that 10.5 king and super king don’t fit in a 7kg washing machine, but do in a 10kg.

I put my coverless duvet in one one of those and while waiting for it to finish realised they don’t lock the doors between customers…. Spent the next 30 mins trying to persuade myself that no drunk people had ever peed in it…

Someone asked me what I had

I have three summer ones (4.5) and one winter (10.5). They are all kings. All from night lark.

They all fit in my 7kg machine.

Hth

Thank you everyone.

It's interesting that they dry so quickly but it's the material that's putting me off. I do like my 100% cotton duvet cover.

I doubt that the people with the time, money and inclination to buy cloth nappies are often in the same group as people who do not have the money, space or absence of a garden so have to use launderettes and garage coin op washing machines every week.

I feel exactly the same.

Surely if you use a top sheet, you only was it as often as a duvet.
