Whilst often used interchangeably, they do differ in meaning. Hypoallergenic refers to the duvet being less likely to trigger allergies. Anti-allergy means the duvet has been treated to combat the development of dust mites and protect against allergens. So if you’re needing a duvet to fight off symptoms, then be sure to select anti-allergy as your battle player. How to wash a duvet Long thought of as the Holy Grail of duvet fillings, down creates a plump, squishy and super soft duvet.However, that luxury feel comes with a luxury price tag to match. An all-season duvet is made up of two separate duvets of differing togs – one lightweight and one midweight – that can be attached together into one single heavyweight duvet or used separately. The idea being that you can mix and match to ensure you have the perfect weight duvet for spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Don't buy it if: you're on a tight budget as this luxury duvet has a luxury price tag. If you're a hot sleeper or suffer from night sweats then you might find down too warm; opt for a more breathable wool-filled duvet instead to avoid overheating. And, if you're vegan, then the feather and down fill won't be for you. The highest tog duvet you can buy is usually 15 tog, although we have seen some all-season duvets (where two separate duvets of differing togs are combined into one warmer duvet) offering a combined warmth of up to 18 tog.First up, it's synthetic fillings. These duvets are filled with manmade fibres, like polyester and polymide that are made from petroleum-based plastics.

Then there are the more traditional, natural fillingsto consider. These range from all types of feathers and down to wool filling. From down to feather-filled, anti-allergy and washable, simply choosing a duvet can be a bit of a nightmare. And that’s just variations in filling! There’s size, tog rating and price to consider too. It's worth knowing what will work best for you ahead of pressing pay, so that you can make the process of finding the best duvet a little more dream-like. We’ve got you covered with knowledge and know-how so you can source a good night’s sleep. What duvet filling is best?Buy it if: you're looking for luxury as well as warmth. No duvet fill feels quite as sumptuous as down, and this 90% Hungarian goose-down and 10% goose feather option is one of the best. It's super warm, drapes beautifully, and feels super luxurious. The all-seasons option also offers brilliant versatility; use the 4.5 and 9.0 duvets separately in warmer seasons and combine when the evenings start to drop in temperature to create 13.5 togs of winter warmth. Plus, although it's an investment, the all-seasons design means you'll also be kitted out with cooler tog duvets for spring, summer and autumn. Don't buy it if: you truly want to splash out on the best duvet for your boudoir. This option is very good for its price, but the higher feather mix does mean it feels more 'clumpy' than the 90% down alternatives on our list. That said, this is still a great buy, and the addition of feathers does make the duvet a little more breathable than a duvet with a higher down percentage, albeit not quite as warm. Again, if you're vegan, then the feather and down fill won't be for you. Obviously, it isn't always convenient to have a different duvet for each season, so the middle ground of the 10.5 tog duvet is one of the most popular options. Tried and tested by the Ideal Home team, we’ve slept under a whole host of the best duvets on the market to help you find the best options, including the best all-season duvets, best winter duvets, and the best duvets for hot sleepers. Don't buy it if: your priority right now is affordability or ease of care. Although we think it's well worth investing in the great night's sleep it offers, there's no denying the price is prohibitive, and this duvet is dry clean only.
