Winter is a time we seek warmth and comfort, especially at night. One essential item that can enhance our sleep experience during the chilly nights is a winter weight duvet. Many people have the wrong type of duvet which can affect our sleep quality and comfort throughout the various seasons. With a variety of options available at Eiderdown, we’ll walk you through how to choose the perfect duvet for autumn and winter. 

Duvet Fill Material:

The fill material of a duvet is crucial in determining its insulation and comfort level. There are various options available at Eiderdown, including: 

• Hungarian Goose Down
• Hungarian Duck Down
• 100% New Zealand Alpaca Fibre
• 100% New Zealand Wool

Hungarian Goose Down consists of large, pure white down clusters making it the lightest, warmest, and loftiest duvet available. 100% of our Down is independently certified to the Responsible Down Standard. Our Hungarian Duck Down is also a premium quality down, with great insulating and ventilation properties. Providing a more affordable option with great benefits is our Alpaca and Wool duvets offering a warm and comfortable night’s sleep.

Duvet Fill Weight:

For optimal warmth, consider the fill power and fill weight of the duvet. Premium Winter duvets typically have higher down content and fill power to provide additional insulation, but ensure it suits your personal preference and doesn't feel too bulky. As we only use the best products at Eiderdown, our down duvets are lighter and lofty whilst providing an elite level of warmth and breathability during winter. 

Duvet Design:

Pay attention to the duvet's construction and design features. Poor craftsmanship can lead to cold spots and uneven fill distribution. Whereas Eiderdown supplies the best bedding products. Texture, softness, size, construction, design and fill weight are all factors to take into consideration. Our Design team has decades of experience and uses our knowledge and feedback from customers to provide the best product in the market.

Personal Preferences:

Lastly, don't forget to consider your personal preferences. Think about your sleeping habits, whether you tend to feel hot or cold during the night, and any specific requirements you may have, such as hypoallergenic materials or eco-friendly options. Everyone's needs are unique, so choose a duvet that aligns with your individual preferences for the best winter sleep experience. For additional information, read our Duvet Buying Guide.
