When it comes to settling down to sleep, the right duvet can add just the right luxurious touch that can send you off to dreamland feeling snug as a bug. Well-chosen bedding<\/a> is an investment that will last you a number of years. What are the options for an Organic Duvet?<\/p>\n

\n

Synthetic or natural?<\/h2>\n

You have the option to go synthetic, or natural. Synthetic duvets are usually polyester-based which means they are made with synthetic fibers derived from petroleum which is a non-renewable, polluting source that is also not the most body-friendly alternative. They also don\u2019t have the same kind of life-span that natural materials do. Organic materials are the most natural choice for breathable, healthy bedding that is also from a renewable source.<\/p>\n

\n

Allergies<\/h3>\n

But what if you have allergies? In the past synthetic duvets were the answer for people with sensitivities as they repel dust-mites and feather duvets tend to accumulate these little critters. You could wake from your slumber rather itchy, sniffy or irritable to say the least.<\/p>\n

With the advances in modern technology, there are some super-soft luxurious bedding options that are not only natural but allergy-free. Some manufacturers say that their feather duvets have been thoroughly treated for dust mites, but if you are truly allergic, the jury is out on whether you can really get a down duvet that you won\u2019t react to.<\/p>\n

There is another option that has become more and more popular recently that is not only natural, but naturally hypoallergenic. The era of the silk duvet<\/a> is here. So your natural options are either duck down, or silk.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0How do they compare?<\/h2>\n
\n

\u00a0Down<\/h3>\n

\u2022 One of the biggest drawbacks of down is that many manufacturers use feathers that have been plucked from ducks and geese under inhumane conditions. Make sure you source a down duvet from a cruelty-free brand<\/em>
\n\u2022 From a renewable resource but is not naturally hypoallergenic
\n\u2022 Soft and luxurious and like sleeping in a puffed-up cloud<\/em>
\n\u2022 Down is the fluffy quill-less feathers<\/em> from the belly of geese and ducks
\n\u2022 To keep the down from accumulating in one big bundle, it is sown in pockets in the duvet, and over time it can become lumpy
\n\u2022 Down is a very efficient insulator<\/em>, but this can also mean that it can trap moisture
\n\u2022 It traps your body\u2019s warmth<\/em> and keeps it circulating back to you
\n\u2022 This can result in overheating during the night as heat builds up and you may find yourself sweating or sticking a foot out the edge as a kind of radiator
\n\u2022 Sweating can lead to bacteria build-up in the duvet
\n\u2022 Down duvets are unable to help keep you at a constant comfortable temperature and you will need a wider range of weights throughout the year.<\/p>\n

\n

Silk<\/h3>\n
\"100%<\/a>

100% Organic Mulberry Silk Duvet Inner<\/p><\/div>\n

\u2022 Mulberry silk is spun from the silk of the cocoons of silkworm moths<\/em>
\n\u2022 It is naturally hypoallergenic<\/em>
\n\u2022 It breathes naturally<\/em> so some of your body heat can escape, helping your body to regulate its temperature so you sweat less
\n\u2022 This makes it more adaptable to different temperatures<\/em>
\n\u2022 Sweating less means there is less bacteria build up in the duvet, and of course, sweating less is more comfortable for you
\n\u2022 Silk Duvets drape beautifully over your body.<\/p>\n

\n

Whichever duvet you choose, you\u2019ll be spending a lot of time cocooned in its cuddly depths, so find the one that appeals to your sense and sensibilities best and sleep tight!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
