The correct fill is crucial!

Choosing your duvet fill ensures you are sleeping with a material you are happy with, but it is also crucial for maintaining the correct body temperature during the night. Cold sleepers may prefer feather and down fills due to the insulating properties it provides, and those who tend to feel warm during the night may want to invest in naturally breathable fills such as cotton or silk.

Bed sharers or those who have varied body temperatures may find it hard to choose a fill. In this instance, we would recommend wool due to its natural temperature regulating properties.

Don’t forget your sleeping environment is key!

Monitor your sleep experience, by recording any sleep disturbances, to check your individual sleep habits and adapt to your environment according. If you are a cold sleeper ensure windows and doors are shut during the night to keep the bedroom warm . Alternatively, hot sleepers may prefer to leave windows ajar or keep bedroom doors open to maximize airflow. It’s also important to understand how your home maintains its heat – older built houses are likely to become colder, quicker in comparison to new builds.

So, whether its blistering hot or icy cold you can now rest easy knowing you can sleep soundly, snuggled up at your perfect temperature.
