What brand of duvet is the warmest?
The threadcount, fill power, and type of filling dictate how warm a duvet will be. A duvet with goose down filling is going to be the best choice for warmth.
Can you get duvet covers for different seasons?
Yes and no. You can get duvet covers in fabrics that are traditionally associated with different seasons (for instance, percale for Summer and flannel for Winter). However, the cover doesn't add much warmth to the duvet - if you want extra warmth for Winter, get a duvet with more filling, and if you just need a little extra warmth for cool nights in Summer, get one with just a small amount of filling.
How to Keep a Duvet Clean and Fresh?
A duvet is a type of bedding that is most traditionally a flat, soft bag filled with feathers and used on a bed as a blanket. It is most often used alone, without sheets or blankets, as this makes it easier to make the bed. A duvet can make for a very comfortable and restful night’s sleep if maintained properly. Here are a few simple steps to care for your duvet. Step 1: Shake out and fluff your duvet after every use. This helps keep the feathers, or other more modern filling, evenly distributed so as not to clump in one spot. Air your duvet on a regular basis for the best cleanliness and freshness. Step 2: Clean stains as soon as they appear with spot cleaning. This is accomplished by squeezing or pushing the filling away from the casing and tying it off with a rubber band or small string to keep the filling from getting wet and damaged. Step 3: Dab at the stain with cold water and then a mild detergent. Step 4: If it becomes necessary to wash the entire duvet, read the manufacturer’s washing instructions first. If there still is any doubt, use a cool wash cycle and a small amount of mild laundry detergent. When washing the entire duvet, it works best if you use a large commercial washing machine, as it has more room to tumble and the chemicals in dry cleaning solutions can break down feathers or other filling. Step 5: Dry your duvet on a low, gentle heat in the dryer. When it is partially dry, stop the dryer and take out the duvet and give it a good thorough shake to try to break up any damp clusters that might have formed, then return to the dryer and finish the drying. Step 6: Hang the duvet out to air dry for approximately 24 hours to ensure that it is thoroughly dry before you replace it on your bed. It is easy to care for a duvet and to keep it clean and fresh. If you keep the duvet in a duvet cover you will seldom have to wash the actual duvet itself, and you will be able to increase the longevity of your duvet.

How do you use a duvet cover?
A duvet cover is used as an envelope to hold a duvet. To insert the duvet into the duvet cover, first spread the duvet cover flat over the bed. Open the bottom of the duvet cover. Find the top of the duvet and grab hold of the two top corners. The tricky part is sliding the duvet into the duvet cover. As best you can, while continuing to hold tight to the duvet corners, work the duvet up to the top of the duvet cover. Place one corner of the duvet into the corresponding corner of the duvet cover. Hold tightly onto that corner from the outside. Next, do the same at the other top corner. Hold tight to both corners and pull them up to the top of the bed. Make sure the middle top side of the duvet also lines up with the middle top side of the duvet cover. Now, as best you can, slide the duvet cover down over top of the duvet. Both the duvet cover and duvet will likely be bunched up, but keep gently working it down. It is a bit tricky. The goal is to get the bottom two corners of the duvet aligned into the bottom corners of the duvet cover. When the duvet and cover are mostly aligned, give the covered duvet a good shake to even out the contents. When you are happy with the duvet distribution, do up the bottom of the duvet cover. Now, snuggle up.
