FAQs

Will the feathers poke through the cover and scratch me?

The duvet uses a tightly woven cotton cover designed to hold the feather and down blend securely inside, minimising sharp quills working through to the surface. As with any feather product, an occasional tiny feather tip can appear over time, but under normal use and with a good-quality duvet cover, this should not be a frequent or uncomfortable issue.

To help prevent this, avoid harsh washing or high-heat drying, as strong agitation or heat can weaken the fabric and make it easier for feathers to push through. If you need to clean the duvet, we recommend taking it to a professional dry cleaner or launderette, as their larger, gentler machines help protect both the cover and the filling.

Does it make that traditional “crinkle” sound when moving at night?

The cotton casing and natural filling give a gentle rustle that many people associate with classic feather bedding, rather than the louder rustle of some synthetic casings. It is generally a soft, muted sound rather than a plastic “crackle”, especially once inside a duvet cover.

Do I need to dry clean it, or can I wash it at home?

Our duck feather and down duvets are machine washable according to the care label. However, because natural fillings hold a lot of water and need very thorough drying, some people prefer to use a professional laundry or launderette dryer to ensure the filling is completely dry and re-fluffed.

With all our duvets, we recommend using a launderette or professional dryer, as their machines are designed to handle bulkier bedding. They dry more thoroughly and gently, reducing the risk of heat damage and helping the duvet maintain its loft and comfort.

Does it have a natural feather smell?

New feather and down products can have a faint natural odour when first unpacked, particularly in warm or humid conditions. This usually dissipates quickly once the duvet is aired and used with a cover. Our fillings are thoroughly cleaned and processed before use, so any scent should be mild and short-lived rather than strong or unpleasant.

What is the feather-to-down ratio, and how does it affect warmth and feel?

Our duck feather and down duvets use a blend of 85% small, fine duck feathers and 15% fluffy duck down. The feather content adds a reassuring, gently weighted feel and structure, while the down clusters boost loft and insulation. The result is a duvet that feels cosy and substantial, with classic hotel character, without the very light “cloud-like” sensation of a high-down goose duvet.
