Don't buy it if: the price makes your eyes water. As well as being the softest duvet fill, down is also the most expensive fill, and 90% Hungarian goose-down is pretty much the best quality you can get. 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. That is why we have come up with a list of some of the best anti-allergy, hypoallergenic duvets we have found on the market, to give you an idea on what products are out there so you can make a more informed decision and hopefully help rid you of your allergies. 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

Obviously, it isn't always convenient to have a different duvet for each season, so the middle ground of the 10.5 tog duvet is one of the most popular options. Non-allergenic is where the actual duvet won't cause any allergies, but that doesn't mean dust mites are not present. Hypoallergenic duvets mean they are less likely to cause or trigger any allergies. Finally, anti-allergenic means that the duvets have been treated in some way to resist the buildup of dust mites or offer some sort of protection against their allergens. Choose The Right Anti-allergy DuvetHypoallergenic means that the actual material and filling of the duvet isn't made of a known potential allergen, like feathers or wool. But other allergens, mainly dust mites, can still develop on these types of duvets. Dust mites are micro tiny creatures which breed and thrive in dark humid places e.g your duvet. The dead skin cells left behind in your bedding gives them plenty to feed on. Where do your allergens come from? well, we recommend you put away your food if your eating now. Buy it if: you're looking for the very best duvet for a great night's sleep. This wool-filled duvet is an investment, but we've tried and tested some of the best winter duvets on the market, and in our opinion, this is the cream of the crop. It's the warmest we've come across, keeping our testers warm and toasty throughout the night without any of the overheating or night sweats that occurred with other high tog options. That's thanks to the naturally thermoregulating properties of wool that allow moisture to escape whilst still providing insulation. Handmade in Yorkshire using 100% traceable British Cheviot wool and certified organic cotton this is also a great eco-friendly option, with wool completely biodegradable.

Then there are the more traditional, natural fillingsto consider. These range from all types of feathers and down to wool filling.

Best winter duvets Buy it if: you want the luxury of Hungarian goose-down combined with plenty of weight options. As well as individual 2.5, 4.5 and 9 tog duvets, Scooms also offers a host of all-season combination duvets, with a 7 tog (the 2.5 tog duvet plus a 4.5 tog), 11 tog (the 2.5 plus 9 tog combo), and 13.5 tog (4.5 plus 9 tog). Each all-seasons option comes with press studs to fasten the two duvets together. Personally, we'd opt for the 13.5 tog for year-round versatility. 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. Microfibre duvets are a relatively recent addition to the market, but they aren't to be confused with hollowfibre. Microfibres are finer but don't have the hollow space that hollowfibre has. Instead, microfibre is intended to be a synthetic equivalent to down; its extra-fine fibres give the same feel.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.
