There are two types of
duvets: natural and synthetic Duvets filled with natural
fillings such as duck feather, dawn and goose dawn are called natural duvets.
They are usually imported, lighter and are able to trap more air than normal
feather and so offer better sleeping insulation.
Synthetic duvets on the
other hand are; hollowfibre, permafresh (anti-allergy) and spindawn.
Hollow fibre is a
collection of fine siliconised polyester hollofibre which provides good comfort
and warmth.
Permafresh, on the other
hand, is a special fibre made from a blend of poly propylene fibre and
polyester fibre. It provides built-in protection against bacteria and dust
mites and remains intact after repeated washings.
Spawn dawn contains a blend
of the finest microfibers giving superb softness and excellent insulation
properties. The filling is fine and more thermally efficient so less is needed
to achieve same warmth as the conventional duvet. It also weighs less and can
be washed with a domestic washing machine.
There are two ways to make a duvet
·
Channeled or coverlet
·
Pocketed or quilted
A coverlet or channeled duvet
prevents the filling from moving from side to side but allows it to move up and
down the duvet. Therefore, if the sleeper feels warm, they can adjust the duvet
by pushing the filling down to reduce the level of warmth. In contrast a quilted or pocketed duvet keeps the fillings fixed in pockets, hence the name.
It makes the filling has less chance of moving up and down.
