A good night’s sleep starts with the right foundations.
We have quality options for all budgets and we can help you find the combination that feels right for you.
You can make your bedroom a haven of comfort by choosing your bedding with care.
The type of pillow or duvet you choose and whether you to use mattress protectors or toppers can all make a difference to the quality of your sleep.
For couples who like differing levels of warmth in bed, consider custom duvets, made to order at our BED AND BATH.
MICROFIBRE/SYNTHETIC
Synthetic duvets are predominately made from microfibre or hollowfibre polyester which makes for a soft, silky, warm and lightweight feel. Both microfibre and hollowfibre are machine washable, making them very easy to care for.
If you:
- Need a duvet that can be washed frequently
- Suffer with allergies
- Are looking for an affordable alternative to other fillings
Then consider a synthetic duvet because:
- These duvets give you the same warmth as a natural-filled style (though an equivalent tog rating may be heavier if compared to a duvet with a high down content)
- They’re made with non-allergenic fillings
- They dry more quickly than natural duvets
CONSTRUCTION
All our natural duvets come in a boxed wall construction. The filling is held in individual boxes, allowing for even distribution and preventing cold spots.
All our synthetic duvets are constructed to keep the filling in its place, making them easy to maintain.
TIP
Always shake your natural duvets from the side and not the bottom to prevent the filling from moving between boxes
TOG RATINGS
A duvet’s tog rating is important as it relates to its warmth (but not its weight, which depends on filling).
The higher the tog rating, the warmer the duvet, with 2.5 – 7 tog perfect for spring and summer and 10.5 – 13.5 ideal for autumn and winter.
If you want flexibility and versatility, all-season duvets are a great choice. They consist of two separate duvets, usually a lightweight 4.5 tog for summer and a warmer 9 tog for autumn and spring. They connect together to make a 13.5 tog in winter.
We understand that every sleep style is unique and that’s why you can order duvets in any shape, any size and with any tog value.
| Summer lightweight duvet | Spring/Autumn weight duvet | Winter weight duvet |
| 1.0 – 4.5 tog | 7.0 – 10.5 tog | 12.0 – 13.5 tog |
Our premium duvets are made to fit standard bed sizes.

TIP
If you like your bed to have a fuller, well-made look, or find that you and your partner tend to fight over the duvet, then you might want to choose one that’s a size larger than your bed
PILLOWS
Update your bedding and improve your comfort with a new set of soft, plump pillows
IF YOU:
- Suffer from allergies
- Are looking for fresh, breathable comfort
- Want anti-fungal, anti-bacterial properties
- Want a microfibre filling
Then consider a synthetic pillow because:
- Manmade fibres tend to be more affordable
- We stock synthetic pillows with innovative new materials
- Our hollowfibre pillow types, including lightweight fine fibres, provide the closest feel to a down pillow
- Manmade fibres tend to be lower priced than natural fillings
Remember to consider:
The pillow against the mattress – a firm pillow won’t work well with a soft mattress
Your body shape and height. You’ll want to maintain a straight spine throughout the night, so it helps to choose the right pillow.
TAILORED TO YOU, FOR YOU!
It’s worth taking time to find the type of pillow that will provide the correct balance of comfort and support you need. By all means try in our shops before you buy – our sales representative will be pleased to advise you. Everyone’s different and you and your partner may find the same pillows don’t suit both of you.
As well as standard size pillows, we stock and make square (sometimes called continental) pillows/ bolster pillows, which are good for sitting up in bed and for decorative purposes, and kingsize pillows, which are extra wide for use on bigger beds.
DUVETS AND PILLOWS FOR CHILDREN
Choosing duvets and pillows for a child is an important part of ensuring they get a restful night’s sleep, although they are not suitable for children under 12 months. We offer a range of duvets and pillows that are suitable for children.
When choosing a full size duvet for a child, unless their bedroom is very cold, it’s best to stick with a lighter weight duvet between 4.5 and 7 tog. As they’re smaller, it means their duvet traps more air and increases the level of warmth over and above that experienced by most adults.
When it comes to choosing a pillow for a child over the age of 12 months, try to choose a flatter or softer pillow, as this will offer them support without putting strain on their developing neck.
