We offer a 10-year guarantee on our feather and down duvets and a 5-year guarantee on our synthetic collections. With the right care, your duvet should last you this duration, or longer, but there may be some instances when you need to replace your duvet sooner.
If your duvet is used every night, chances are it will need replacing sooner than one that's used less frequently, like one in a guest bedroom. Another thing to look out for is if you experience a noticeable decline in warmth, especially during the colder months, as this could suggest that the insulation has weakened.

Over time, all duvets will naturally lose their ability to retain heat. As the filling flattens and breaks down, it can no longer trap warm air effectively.

This happens when the filling inside the duvet collapses, which is a natural process that occurs in all duvets eventually. The filling can shift or clump together, leaving behind uneven areas and lumps. When this happens, it’s difficult to restore the duvet to its original shape and would be best to replace it.

Duvets absorb oils, dust, and other particles, which is why you should wash your duvet every six months. However, if you notice your duvet has stubborn stains, odours, or visible damage, it could be time for a replacement. A duvet with an unwashable amount of buildup can be tricky for people with asthma or bad allergies, as the dust can trigger a reaction, which could impact overall sleep quality.

Rips and holes in your duvet will affect the duvet’s insulating properties, leading to cold spots, as well as potentially leading to further damage occurring.

To keep your duvet looking and feeling great for as long as possible, proper care is essential. Here are a few key tips to help keep your duvet plump and cosy:

• Regular fluffing helps to maintain its loft and ensures the filling stays evenly distributed, preventing lumps.
• We recommend washing your duvet around every six months.
• Seasonal duvets should be stored properly in a breathable bag in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup and maintain freshness.

When choosing a new duvet, there are three things we suggest you consider:

• Filling: choose from natural or synthetic options based on your needs and preferences.
• Tog rating: consider how warm you want it to be.
• Purpose: think about your body temperature, allergies, or sensitivities and the temperature of your home.

Yes, duvets can lose their tog value over time as the filling gradually breaks down, reducing their ability to retain warmth and insulation. To help prevent any premature loss of tog value be sure to follow the care instructions for your duvet.

It’s worth airing out your duvet every few weeks to keep it feeling fresh and plump. Moisture from body heat and humidity can get trapped in the filling and regular airing helps to remove this excess buildup. Just hang it outside in the garden or near an open window for a few hours.

Old duvets don’t have to go straight to landfill, there are plenty of ways to give them a second life. Instead of discarding them, consider taking them to charity shops, homeless shelters, or animal rescue centres. Many shelters and veterinary clinics appreciate old duvets for use as bedding for pets. Old duvets can also act as insulation for greenhouses or as protective covers for plants during the winter months.

A good duvet will be the one that’s right for you and your individual needs and preferences. Look for a duvet that has a suitable tog rating and filling material for your body temperature, home environment and personal preference.
