A good night’s sleep is the cornerstone of a healthy, happy life, and your duvet plays a pivotal role in ensuring you wake up refreshed and rejuvenated. The variety of duvets available can be overwhelming and wading through the information around different togs, different materials used, and the different weights can be tiresome, especially when you’re searching for the perfect duvet to suit your new king size bed. Whether you prefer a hypoallergenic duvet in king size, or a goose feather and down duvet, we have a selection available and want to clear the mystique surrounding quilts and duvets.
How to Select Your Size:
The first thing to consider is which size duvet to choose. Although you may have one of our luxurious French beds in king size, you may prefer when the duvet ‘overhangs’ the bed and so you may opt instead for a super king size duvet rather than the king size; co-sleepers also often prefer this as it means more duvet to share between two people. Consider which size will be most comfortable and aesthetically pleasing for your king size bed; the most important thing being that you are cosy and snuggly in your newly selected duvet.
Luxurious Goose Down Duvets:
Goose down king size duvets are known as the most luxurious of them all. With the highest quality, and often the highest price point, it’s not hard to see why they’re so popular. Down are the smallest feathers which are much softer, they also tend to slip through the pillow much less than regular feathers! This makes down the ideal filling for a duvet or pillow, providing not only a snug comfort but also a natural heat that can keep you warm throughout your slumber. Natural fillings such as down and feathers are known for their naturally insulating qualities. The feathers interlock together to trap the hot air, making them perfect for winter-sleeping. They also tend to hold more weight than hypoallergenic or synthetic duvets.
Our Vispring 100% Hungarian Goose Down Luxury Duvet is the epitome of luxury and comfort: available in a king size, you won’t regret investing in a quality goose down duvet and we are sure you won’t turn back once you’ve tried it! If you’re someone who prefers a heavier and warmer duvet, we recommend opting for a 13.5 tog goose down duvet in king size.
Duck Down and Feather Duvets:
While similar to goose down, duck down and feather duvets offer a slightly different feel and level of warmth. Duck down tends to be more affordable than goose down, making it a popular choice for those seeking splendour on a budget. These duvets typically combine down with feathers, providing a bit more weight and structure than goose down duvets.
A duck feather and down duvet with a 10.5 to 13.5 tog rating strikes a balance between warmth and breathability, suitable for use throughout most of the year. The added feathers provide a firmer feel compared to pure down duvets, which some sleepers find more supportive. If you want a king size feather duvet, surround yourself with the luxury of choice by shopping our duvets and pillows.
Hypoallergenic Synthetic Duvets:
Aside from the fact that hypoallergenic synthetic duvets are more affordable than natural fillings, there are plenty of reasons to purchase an anti-allergy duvet in king size. Synthetic duvets tend to be more lightweight and are perfect for those who prefer a softer feeling which doesn’t bear weight on the body whilst sleeping. Synthetic duvets are also much easier to wash at home than feather and down duvets.
We even have a Down Feel Luxury Duvet for our customers who require a synthetic and anti-allergy filling but desire the resplendent feel of a down filling! So that you can unwind in style and enjoy the softness a down feel duvet brings.
Factors to Consider: Warmth and Weight
When selecting a duvet, it’s essential to consider both the warmth and weight. Tog ratings provide a measure of warmth, with higher ratings indicating more insulation. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the right tog rating for your needs:
4.5 Tog: Ideal for summer months or warmer climates.
7.5 Tog: Suitable for late spring and early autumn.
10.5 Tog: A versatile choice for year-round comfort.
13.5 Tog: Perfect for winter or for those who prefer a warmer sleeping environment.
In addition to warmth, the weight of the duvet is crucial. While some people enjoy the comforting weight of a thicker duvet, others may prefer the lightness of down or synthetic fillings. It’s important to consider your personal preferences and sleeping habits when making your choice to ensure a peaceful and uninterrupted sleep.
To conclude, there are many different types of king size duvets, whether you want a thick duvet for its calming, weighted feeling, or whether you need a thinner and cooler one for the stuffy summer months, we have high-quality duvets in king size that will inspire you to refresh your most underestimated sleeping partner. For a deeply lavish sleeping experience, we recommend investing in an Egyptian cotton king size duvet cover for a true hotel-like experience.
