Product Information

Dust mite poop produce an allergen which us humans are prone to getting and as it is so tiny it is also easily inhaled causing the common allergy symptoms. How Often Should I Change My Bedding? Anti-allergy means the filling and casing will have been treated to resist and combat the development of dust mites. You might find that this type of duvet is good for you if you have asthma, eczema or rhinitis, all of which could be exacerbated by allergens.

That said, personally, we think 13.5 tog remains one of the best winter duvet weights, with some finding 15 tog can retain heat a little too much during the night and lead to overheating. First up, it's synthetic fillings. These duvets are filled with manmade fibres, like polyester and polymide that are made from petroleum-based plastics. H York Excellent Excellent duvet. It is lightweight but extremely warm and cosy. Good value for money.More than a third of Which? members surveyed choose feather and down duvets, making it the second-most popular option. These lightweight, cosy duvets retain heat well but still help you to avoid overheating. Plus, if cared for properly, they will last much longer than synthetic fibre alternatives. Kyakya Anti- allergy duvet 10.5 tog I have now bought this duvet in super king, king size and singles. It is light, warm and cosy. I will buy another for my granddaughter’s bed as well. Very pleased with the quality and price and can recommend it. It certainly stopped my morning snuffles and sneezes so I can say, without doubt, that it is anti- allergy. One downside to all natural duvet fillings, including feather and down, is that you shouldn’t wash them at home as they can lose their filling more easily and are difficult to get completely dry afterwards. If they are cared for properly and professionally laundered, feather and down duvets can last more than twice as long as synthetic alternatives. Wool duvets: pros and cons

Although it will mean spending a little more, and may depend on your bed frame height and style, we'd generally advise sizing up with your duvet, especially if you sleep with a partner. Cmag Pricey but great quality Excellent although a bit on the pricey side. 9 tog great for autumn months. 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. Buy it if: you want an affordable winter duvet that still feels both warm and luxurious. This recycled polyester fill duvet has 10% silk mixed in, and whilst the proportion doesn't sound huge, it really makes a difference to the way this duvet feels, with a more luxurious touch and really nice drape on the bed, whilst still being lightweight. Even better it's a relatively budget buy, and made from certified recycled polyester from waste (like plastic bottles or manufacturing off-cuts) which helps the movement towards a more circular economy by reducing waste going to landfill. Compared with virgin polyester, recycled polyester helps conserve crude oil reserves during fibre production.

How Duvets Contribute to Allergies

Matty Mat Amazing comfort So amazing 😍. Couldn't believe how comfortable, light and how it keeps me at the perfect temperature. Fantastic value. The Panda Cloud duvet filling is an equal mix of bamboo fibres and nano microfibre. Bamboo is naturally antibacterial material that helps to protect against skin irritation and allergies making suitable for those who suffer from skin conditions such as eczema, sensitive skin and even hay fever caused by dust mites. This duvet is naturally hypoallergenic & antibacterial because of the organic bamboo used. If you’re struggling to work out what the best tog duvet is to see you through summer heatwaves and plummeting winter temperatures then an all-season duvet could be the answer.

Another solution is to opt for an 'all-season' duvet. This consists of two separate lighter tog duvets that can be joined together (usually by way of press studs) to make a warmer winter duvet. Most commonly an all-season duvet will include a 4.5 tog and 9 tog duvet that can create a 13.5 tog duvet once combined, or a 4.5 tog and 10.5 tog duvet that will create a warmer 15 tog combination. Panda pays attention to detail by introducing four fasteners on each corner which can be used to fasten the duvet to your bedding, additionally, they have stitched the duvet in a bavarian style which keeps the filling equally spread out through the duvet so you are not left with any hot and cold patches. Some duvets come in 'four-seasons' or 'all-seasons' sets. With these you get one light duvet (usually about 3.5 tog) and one heavier one (usually about 10.5 tog). The light one will be enough in hot summer months, and the heavy one suits spring and autumn weather. When you need extra warmth in winter, you can combine both. Standard UK duvet sizes We asked duvet owners whether they felt buying one helped. One third felt their anti-allergic or hypoallergenic duvet had made a fair difference to allergy symptoms and around one in five felt it helped just a little. The Silentnight anti-allergy duvet is filled with anti-allergy hollowfibre fill which actively prevents the duvet from dust mites and bacteria. These fibres are approved by the British Allergy Foundation which means it has been independently scientifically tested and proven to reduce or remove allergens from the indoor environment.Interestingly, a survey made by Time 4 Sleephas shown that only 28% of Brits change bedding weekly. How to Prevent Allergies? Generally, the filling is of little relevance in terms of combating allergies, but it is important to investigate why you are receiving your reactions. Could it be the feather, latex or wool core? As the name suggests, feather and down duvets combine feathers, the outer part of a bird’s plumage, with down, the lighter, fluffier fibres that lie beneath feathers and provide insulation. The ratio of feather to down will affect the duvet's warmth and price. Although you can get duvets in almost any tog rating, the most common togs are 4.5 tog which makes a great summer duvet weight, 10.5 tog which tends to be the best bet for autumn and spring, and 13.5 tog which offers good winter warmth. As well as having a tog rating (see below for more information on these), feather and down duvets are rated by their fill power. The higher the fill power, the larger each individual piece of down will be, resulting in a loftier, fluffier duvet, which provides better insulation.
