Down Duvets or Fiber Duvets?
Our range includes everything from lightweight summer duvets to thicker options that retain warmth well even in chilly bedrooms. Wondering what's best for you? A feather-light down duet may be perfect if you are looking for something soft and warm, while our fluffy fiber duvets get warmer the more fiber they contain.
Down duvets offer unparalleled softness and warmth thanks to the high proportion of natural down, whereas fiber duvets—filled with polyester fiber—are ideal for easy maintenance and quick drying times. Fiber duvets are particularly suitable if you have allergies, as they do not irritate the respiratory tract and can be washed frequently.
For warm nights, we recommend the Topcool and Outlast® technologies for perfect temperature balance.
The Topcool series is developed with a unique polyester fiber that actively transports away moisture and helps you maintain a comfortable temperature all night. Products in the Topcool series are available in different warmth levels for duvets and heights for pillows and include mattress protectors. Their carbon fiber content also contributes to a relaxing effect.
Outlast® products adapt to the skin's microclimate by absorbing, distributing, and releasing heat to provide an optimal and even temperature in bed. Outlast® technology uses PCM, Phase Change Material, to absorb, store, and even out the temperature. When the skin is warm, the heat is absorbed and evened out in the product. Outlast® technology not only balances temperature but also reduces humidity. Studies show that Outlast® products can reduce sweat production by 30-50%. "Not too hot, not too cold, but just right".
Are you allergic?
Then you should choose a duvet and pillow with polyester fiber filling as it does not cause any allergies. Our fiber duvets can also be washed frequently and have a short drying time. All our duvets and pillows can be washed at 60 degrees, which is the temperature required to kill dust mites. It is also important that your potential bedroom partner chooses duvets and pillows with fiber filling so that you do not have an allergic reaction.
Do you prefer natural materials?
Wool is a fine natural material with well-proven properties. If you prefer the earthy and natural, a duvet with wool filling is a thoughtful alternative. The fabric for these wool duvets is also made from the cellulose material lyocell, which has many great properties. Lyocell is made from cellulose from fast-growing tree species, including eucalyptus, grown in sustainable forest plantations. The manufacturing process is environmentally friendly, and as much as possible is recycled and reused. Fabric made of lyocell is both healthy and hygienic and is a natural and environmentally friendly material grown entirely organically without any pesticides. Products with lyocell fiber stay fresh longer because it is naturally antibacterial. This antibacterial ability cannot be washed out as it is naturally present in the fiber. Lyocell also has good thermal properties, meaning the fabric feels pleasantly warm when it is cool and warms when it is chilly.
What do the fabric qualities satin, percale, and cambric mean?
Satin is a weaving technique where a greater proportion of weft threads are visible on the fabric's front side. This gives the fabric a beautiful luster but also a clear backside. Satin can be made from either cotton or polyester but may also be a blend of different qualities. Percale and cambric have the same weaving technique, and the fabric is the same on both sides. Both qualities are made from very thin yarns but with different densities. If counting the number of threads per inch in both the warp and weft, a percale fabric must have at least 200 threads per inch and a cambric fabric 230 threads per inch. Both qualities use combed cotton, i.e., long-fiber cotton of high quality.
