Snuggledown Hungarian Goose Down Double Duvet - 4.5 Tog UK-Made Luxury Double Quilt, Ethically Sourced 80% Down, 300tc Jacquard Cotton Cover - Soft, Breathable & Lightweight for Summers (200 x 200cm)

Excellent quality duvet using the some of the best down available. Ok, so I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to this stuff, so hope you enjoy this.... The “fill power” of down is indicative of the “loft” of the insulation and it’s warmth to weight ratio. This duvet contains 800 fill power down, which rivals the down used in high-end mountaineering jackets and sleeping bags where insulation and weight can be very important. Whilst the weight of your duvet may not obviously be high in your list of priorities (!) it is worth paying attention to.... 800 fill power means that far less down is needed to achieve the same warmth rating as inferior down/feather products,,,,, Also, the construction method uses baffles to ensure that there is no risk of cold spots that you can get when a duvet is simply stitched through i.e the design is great too. All of this translates to a really comfortable light weight and more breathable duvet for you and I. There are no obvious prickles from feather shafts either (cheaper “down” fillings use more feathers, often thicker ones and the shafts can pierce the fabric of a duvet). I saw no evidence of this. If you check out similar goose down products at John Lewis etc they will cost 3 times the price so this duvet is a real bargain. The only difference I can see is in the thread count of the cotton used- it is a little lower than the top end £500 goose down duvets you can get elsewhere. I decided I could live with that ! (And I think high cotton thread counts = stiffer sheets?). Anyway, I expect this duvet will last years as the cotton used is still great quality and it’s really the quality of the down inside that matters most. My experience of synthetic duvets in the past has been that they are bulkier and tend to overheat (they don’t breath as well). NB if you are storing a down product treat it more gently than a synthetic and pack it away fairly loose otherwise you will crush the contents and damage them) Hopefully, all of the above makes common sense and if you’ve read this far you are probably are wearing leather shoe owning person who is more or less happy with using feathers from birds (which, like leather, are another by product of the meat industry.....according to veganpeace.com). This can be an emotive topic for some and could explain the odd low scoring review on here. Each to their own I guess. I’m off to sleep.

Very pleased with the item and delivery was five days earlier than the first day it was suggested so that is first class can't fault the delivery and the quilt is nice and we used it last night very very warm and lightweight, thank you

Very warm and cosy. A bit heavier than I would have liked but way lighter than feather quilts.

I've had one of Amazon's UMI brand feather & down quilts for a while now, and I love it. However I bought my son a Snuggledown Hungarian down pillow and I was so impressed with it I fancied a down quilt for myself, so when they dropped in price a bit, I bought one with some birthday money I got and topped up the balance myself. I paid £129, which is pretty reasonable for one of these quilts, but when I got it, I was surprised at how light it was. My UMI quilt is 85% feather and 15% down, and is pretty heavy, but very cosy and warm, and is a very comfy quilt. This 20% feather and 80% down quilt is far lighter than the feather quilt, and on first examination, I have to admit I was a bit disappointed as I quite like the weight of my existing quilt. That said, it's every bit as warm as my UMI quilt, which is hardly surprising as it's the same 13.5 TOG rating, but it's a lot lighter. So having tried both, I can tell you that if you want a snuggly-warm quilt and prefer a heavier quilt, then buying one with a high feather content and a lower down content is the way to go. If you prefer a lighter quilt, then a quit filled with mostly down is the way to go. The mostly-down quilt isn't warmer than the feather one, it's just a lot lighter. Hand on heart, I think I prefer the heavier quilt at the moment, which is a bit disappointing, but I'll see if I get used to the down quilt after a few weeks. I'm a big 6'4" 16st man , so a heavy quilt suits me and to be honest, I'm used to it. However if you're not quite as freakishly large as me, a light king-size quilt might make changing your bedding easier than struggling with a heavy quilt every few days. But it'll cost you!

very good. soft and reasonably priced for the quality

Great quality, perfect for English weather

I loved this luxurious duvet, right from unpacking it; it wasn't vacuum-packed, so didn't require a lot of shaking-out & waiting for it to revive. As soon as it came out of its case, it was already soft & fluffy. The 13.5 Tog-rating is perfect for us - not too hot & sweaty in summer, & I can already feel it's definitely going to be lovely & cosy for the winter months. Its totally natural filling keeps your body-temperature constant & stable, which provides a perfect, comfortable night's sleep, whatever season it is. I won't be feeling so eager to get out of bed too early in the morning now, because this duvet is just so divinely gorgeous & luxurious!

Excellent quality!!!

Molto bello non escono piume ed è molto caldo e leggero ottimo prodotto ,non puzza ..lo ricomprerei sicuramente.

wirkloch top qualität. sehr leicht und hält extrem warm. aber angenehm. sehr zu empfehlen.

Es muy confortable ....

Terrible quality, paid a lot of money and waited weeks for it to arrive. I’m sooo upset with it, just ordered a new one from another company already 🥹

Brilliant duvet, it has to be feathers, and this is full of Down feathers not the larger feathers that end up sticking through the duvet and stabbing you, so super comfy and warm.. Love it
