Everything on the bed, and the dark

Down, wool and recycled fibre, each with its tog or fill weight written where you can see it. Protectors and toppers for underneath, quilts and throws for on top, and a small line of masks and lamp shades for switching the day off.

How we write a product page

The drawback is printed next to the price

Down clumps if you never air it. Wool is heavier than you expect. Buckwheat is loud. Silk has to be hand washed. Every fill has a cost, and a shop that only lists the benefits is leaving you to find the cost on night three. We put it on the page, and then we give you 30 nights to see whether you mind.

Why we work this way

Five shelves

Under you, over you, around you, and the two things that make a room dark.

02 / Warmth

Three weights, three kinds of bedroom

Tog is a measure of how much heat a duvet holds back. It says nothing about weight, which is why a 10.5 tog wool duvet and a 10.5 tog down duvet feel like different objects.

  1. Summer, 4 to 5 tog. A bedroom that stays above 20 °C, or a sleeper who kicks the covers off by midnight. In down this weighs almost nothing; in wool it is a light quilt.
  2. All-season, 9 to 10.5 tog. A heated bedroom at 16 to 20 °C, from October to April. This is the weight most people in a modern flat should own, and the one we sell most of.
  3. Winter, 12 to 13.5 tog. An unheated room, a stone house, a window open in January. Too warm for most people in most flats, and we say so on the product page.

Where most people start

A pillow, then the all-season duvet, then the protector they should have bought first.

04 / Fill

Down, wool or recycled fibre

The fill decides how the duvet behaves. The tog only decides how warm it is.

Down is the lightest fill for any warmth and lofts into a cloud, but it holds moisture, clumps without airing, and a few people react to it. Wool moves moisture away from you and keeps the temperature under the duvet steadier than anything else, at the price of weight and a flatter look. Recycled fibre is the practical one: hypoallergenic, washable at 60 °C, dry by teatime, and less breathable than either.

We sell all three because there is no best fill, only the right one for a particular sleeper in a particular room. The product page for each one says who it suits and who it does not.

Things we would rather you heard from us

Down needs a shake every morning and a window once a week. Wool duvets weigh half as much again as down. Buckwheat pillows rustle. Silk masks are hand wash only. Wool toppers settle from five centimetres to three and a half. All of this is on the relevant page.

The care guide

The dark half of the range

The range changes slowly. A new product appears when we have slept under it for a winter, not before.

Everything new

30 nights

Sleep on a duvet or a pillow for a month. If it is wrong, it comes back for a refund, laundered by us and passed to a shelter.

5 years

A baffle seam that opens or a fill that migrates to one end inside five years is repaired or replaced. Postage both ways inside the EU.

Tog on the page

Every duvet states its tog or fill weight in grams per square metre, and every pillow its fill weight. No “medium warmth”.

Made in the EU

Sewn in Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Austria, Lithuania and Italy. Each product page says which.

Last of a colour, a cloth or a shell

Reduced against the price each one carried for the previous year. The product is unchanged; what has changed is that we are not making more of it.

“I ordered the wool all-season because the page told me the down one would be too warm for our flat, which no other shop had bothered to say. It was right. My husband has stopped stealing the covers because there is nothing to steal: the temperature is the same on both sides.”

A note when the season turns

One in autumn about swapping to the heavier duvet, one in spring about airing and storing it, and a few in between when something new has survived a winter with us. Nothing with a clock on it.
