Pillow Talk

As temperatures climb, many of you are experiencing a less than quality sleep, due to being too warm. I want to offer some alternatives that may help you out and allow you a more comfortable night's sleep.

Down filled, Feather filled, and Polyester filled duvets, by their very nature have a very high thread count cover, to prevent the fill from leaking through. The downside of this is they become unbreathable. As a result, when you first go to bed, they appear to be prefect however over the course of the night, you become too hot, disturbing your sleep and causing you to "toss off the covers". Because you were too warm and probably perspiring, you now quickly cool off. Once again, your sleep is disturbed, and you wake and cover back up. This "on again, off again" scenario goes on all night long. Sound familiar?

Say goodbye to sweaty nights and hello to a better sleep experience with one of our natural-filled duvets. Consider a wool filled duvet as an alternative. I know...your first thought is "wool is itchy" or "I am allergic to wool". Wool is a contact allergy and to cause issues, must be in contact with your skin. A wool duvet is wool filled but with a 100% cotton cover. The beauty of wool, is the wool fibers are not prone to leaking from the duvet, allowing for a lower thread count cover and therefore are extremely breathable. Wool absorbs perspiration whereas down, feather and polyester do not. The result is a breathable, comfortable duvet allowing you the restful night’s sleep you crave.  On a side note, they are available in both a Summer Weight and a All Seasons version, making wool an excellent choice for year-round use. 

Anything other than wool? I am glad you asked. We offer a Silk filled duvet as another option, not quite a breathable as a Wool filled duvet, but being a light weight silk filling, they are perfect for the warmer bedrooms.  These too are available in a Summer and a Winter weight.  Silk, like wool is naturally dust mite resistant and regulates your temperature while you sleep.

We also have a great, organic lightweight cotton filled duvet.  It is perfect for the hottest of nights and gives you something to still cuddle up with.  Cotton is breathable and this duvet is our coolest option.

Say goodbye to tossing and turning as you snuggle up in the cozy embrace of these premium duvets, providing a restful sanctuary for your body and mind.
