Washing a feather duvet

I have a single 7.5tog feather duvet that DS was sick all over last night - can I bung it in the washing machine?

TIA

If it'll fit then go for it. I've washed my kids' non-feather single duvets in our machine - have to take our king-size feather one to the laundrette because it won't fit. It'll just need a lot of drying time to stop the feathers clumping - do you have a tumble dryer?

If your washing machine and tumble dryers have big drums go for it, if not take it to a launderette

Thanks, going to try it in washing machine as it's not a big duvet. Yes we have a tumble dryer from what I can gather you should tumble it on cool for a long time to fluff it up again and if you have some tennis balls put them in as well! (which we don't!)
