Natural fills

Choose natural fill if you prefer a light weight luxury duvet that is suitable for year-round sleep comfort. Natural fillings like down, feather, or wool are warm but breathable, they function like an air exchange between your body and the ambient air temperature in your room, regulating your comfort whatever the season. Natural fill duvets are generally more of an investment but they tend to keep their puff without lumping or clumping.

Alternative fills

Duvets filled with synthetic fibres are perfect for those who suffer from down and feather allergies. Designed to mimic the feeling of natural fillings, these soft fibres often have a more substantial feel when compared to down, synthetic fibres are also great insulators, perfect for cooler weather.

Fossflakes fill

Fossflakes products are crafted by a team of experts in Denmark. Fossflakes fibres are unrivalled in their ability to act like down. Unique, tiny featherlight synthesized fibres are mixed to create a lofty, puffy filling for duvets, pillows and cushions that are all fully machine washable and guaranteed to keep their volume for years to come without lumping

The beauty of pure down.

Some duvets include a mix of feathers and down while some are pure down filled. Feathers offer weight while down is lightweight, a blend of the two offering the perfect balance of weight and warmth. The inclusion of feathers often makes an inner more affordable while pure down is a premium option.

Granny Goose is the leader in down duvet inners that offer high-quality bedding. Their down is also encased in tightly woven cotton casings to prevent dust and dust mites that could trigger allergies.

Four Seasons or traditional Box-stitch Style Duvets.

If you find your sleep comfort fluctuating with the seasons, the Four Seasons style duvet might be the answer. We make 2 duvets: 1 autumn weight and one summer weight duvet and fit each with poppers so you can clip them together in colder months or unclip them when the weather turns warm. This style of duvet suits those who prefer something weightier.

Protip: once separated the second duvet can also be used as an extra layer in your guest room.

Box stitch style duvets are exactly what they seem to be, a quilted or baffle-walled construction that is designed to prevent the duvet filling from shifting. These duvets work well with fluffier loose fillings like down and feathers by allowing the natural filling to remain puffy without excessive movement.
