Types of natural fillings include goose and duck feathers, silk, and wool. Hypoallergenic down duvets are available if you have allergies but still want the down quality. Down- and feather-filled duvets tend to be the most expensive option.
Synthetic duvets can be washed much more often than natural fillings.
You can also buy a duvet that has a combination of both down and feather filling.
For a toddler, an appropriate tog rating would be between 3 and 4. 5. As they get a little older, it can increase to 7. 5-9.
Choosing a tog rating will also depend on personal preferences. If you tend to get hot while sleeping, regardless of what the temperature is outside, you’ll want to decide on a lower tog rating.
All-season duvets are usually joined together with buttons, making them easy to take apart. Using an all-season duvet will give you the flexibility of being able to change the tog rating, and you’ll also have an extra duvet for most of the year.
Buying a duvet made of cotton ticking, or cotton-polyester, ensures your duvet is super breathable. Aim for a thread count of 200 or more.
Baffle box construction is more expensive than sewn through box construction due to its more intricate structure.
Duvet covers are less expensive than regular duvets, making them an affordable option. The covers attach to the duvet with zippers, buttons, or ties.
