Hotel Duvet Guide: How to choose the right duvet
Choosing the right duvet filling for your hotel is not an easy task and the more options there are available the more confusing it all becomes. As duvets are one of the key elements in your guest rooms, making the right decision is all the most important. Have a look at our Duvet Guide, designed to help you find the best solution for your hotel at a glance.
Choosing the best Tog for you
The tog is a measure of thermal resistance. The easy way to look at togs is to keep in mind that the higher the tog is, the warmer the duvet.
- For a lightweight Summer duvet, choose a duvet between 3.0 - 4.5 tog
- For a Spring / Autumn duvet, choose a duvet between 7.0 - 10.5 tog
- For a Winter duvet, choose a duvet between 12.0 - 13.5 tog
Natural Fill (Feather and Down)
Natural fill is feather, down, or a combination of both. Down is not a feather, it’s the fluffy insulation under the feathers that keep ducks and geese warm and protected from outdoor elements. Natural fills are best for conforming to the body.
Mulberry Silk
Mulberry Silk’s long yarn gives it a fine drape and lighter loft. It is cool and hypo allergenic, making it the perfect natural choice for people with allergies. It's also extraordinarily durable.
Microfibre / Feels like down
The finest, luxury synthetic alternative to feather and down. A supremely soft fibre that drapes excellently around the body and offers rich, soft, comfortable support.
Estlon Fibre
A great anti allergenic option, Estlon Fibre is treated with AEM 5700 antimicrobial agent which reduces fungal levels by up to 99.99% in comparison with untreated fibre.
Tencel
Tencel is extracted from the raw material, wood. It naturally absorbs moisture and quickly releases it again. This property guarantees a pleasantly dry sleeping climate.
Hollofibre
An excellent value, plump fibre filling that offers firm, lasting support for duvets.
Polyester Fibre
This is a man-made fill. Synthetic duvets typically have a shorter life span and will not conform to the body as well as a natural fill duvet. Overall, the most affordable type of duvet.
Siliconised Ball
This is a type of synthetic fill in which polyester clusters are coated with silicone to feel and move like down. It gives the softness and appeal of a true down duvet without the cost. Great for allergy sufferers who prefer a synthetic fill but want down-like comfort.
Cover
A higher thread count cover will be softer, but more importantly, will keep the fill in and impurities out.
