Duvets

If you are guided by the season, the following types of duvets are available, which are also available as duvet sets with matching pillows:
 

• Summer duvets: Designed for the warmer months, these duvets are light and airy on your skin. They protect you from drafts, transport moisture and have a cooling effect thanks to materials such as silk or microfiber. In short: on summer nights, these duvets promise the best sleeping comfort.
• Winter duvets: Cuddly, warm and air-conditioned, these duvets contribute noticeably to restful sleep in winter. Made for cold nights, they are comparatively thicker than their summer counterparts. Duvets with down fillings are at the top of the popularity scale. Voluminous and lightweight at the same time, they have a first-class heat retention capacity.
• Four-season duvets: These are usually two duvets that you can connect or use separately. They consist of a lighter and a stronger version and offer you maximum flexibility in summer, winter and during the transitional period. They are also available in different sizes.

What is difference between duvets, quilts, and doonas?

Quilts doonas and duvets are both types of bed coverings, but they have distinct differences in construction, appearance, and use:

Duvets

• Construction: A duvet is a soft, flat bag filled with down, feathers, wool, or synthetic fibers. It requires a duvet cover, which can be easily removed and washed.

• Design: Duvets are typically plain white and not decorative on their own. The duvet cover provides the aesthetic appeal and can be changed frequently to match the decor.

• Warmth: Duvets are known for providing significant warmth due to their fillings, which can include down, feathers, wool, or synthetic fibers. The level of warmth can vary depending on the fill power thickness and quality of the filling and the type of material used. Higher fill power duvets are typically warmer and fluffier, making them ideal for colder months. Lighter duvets with lower fill power are suitable for warmer weather.

• Use: Duvets are used as the main bed covering and eliminate the need for multiple layers of bedding. The cover can be easily removed and washed, offering convenience.

Quilts

• Construction: A quilt typically consists of three layers: a top layer made of different pieces of fabric sewn together in a decorative pattern, a middle layer of batting thin padding, and a bottom layer of fabric.

• Design: Quilts often feature intricate designs and patterns, with the top layer being the most decorative part.

• Warmth: Quilts offer moderate warmth, making them suitable for use in spring and fall or as an additional layer during winter. The warmth of a quilt depends on the thickness of the batting padding and the type of fabrics used. Quilts are generally lighter than duvets and donnas, providing a cozy but less insulated option.

• Use: Quilts can be used as a standalone bed cover or layered with other bedding.

Doonas

• Construction: The term doona is commonly used in Australia and is essentially the same as a duvet. Like duvets, doonas are filled with down, feathers, wool, or synthetic fibers and are used with a removable cover.

• Design: Similar to duvets, doonas offer excellent insulation, are easy to maintain with washable covers, and can be easily customized with different covers.

• Warmth: Donnas, like duvets, provide excellent warmth due to their fillings, which can include down, feathers, wool, or synthetic fibers. The warmth level of a donna is similar to that of a duvet, with higher fill power donnas offering more insulation for colder months. Lighter donnas with lower fill power are suitable for warmer climates or seasons.

• Use: Used as the main bed covering, providing warmth and comfort. The duvet cover protects the doona and can be changed to update the decor.

In summary, Duvets and donnas are essentially the same, offering warmth and versatility with removable covers for easy maintenance and decor changes. Quilts are decorative, lightweight suitable for moderate warmth, while duvets are thicker.
