A bedroom simply isn’t complete until
the right duvet is purchased and put in place. It is the lynchpin that brings
everything else together, so you want to be sure to get the correct one. In
general, it comes down to price, fabric and filling
Price
For many, price is one of the deciding
factors in whether or not they will buy a particular duvet. Luckily, there is a
large variety in every price range, so even the lowest price point should still
have a decent selection of colors and designs. However, it is important to know
the lesser expensive duvet covers will likely be made of and filled with an
artificial fabric like polyester or microfibre. Some people have an aversion to
these fabrics, but many do not even notice the difference.
Fabric
The main fabrics used in duvets are
cotton, silk, satin, polyester and microfiber. The first three in this list are
likely to be more expensive (especially if they are 100% pure) but the latter
two are usually more affordable. Cotton is the most popular and practical
choice, mostly because it is so durable, versatile, and easy to maintain. Satin
and silk are the more luxurious fabrics of the lot, but they are often
considered an acquired taste. Because they are so lightweight and slippery,
they don’t work well in colder climates, but are perfect for warmer environments
where only a light blanket would be needed.
Filling
Many lower quality luxury duvets are filled
with polyester or some other down alternative, but the higher quality duvets
are often filled with down, which is made of goose feathers. Down duvets is very insulating
and perfect for cold environments, but it can be an issue for people who
allergies. Also, because down is made of feathers, it can sometimes become a
problem when the tips of the feathers poke out of the fabric. This can be
avoided if the duvet is padded.
