How to buy a down duvet.

Comprehensive Guide to Buying a Down Duvet (also known as a Down Comforter) 

Introduction 

When it comes to investing in a good night's sleep, one of the most important purchases you can make is a quality down duvet, also referred to as a down comforter. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about buying a down duvet or comforter, from selecting the correct size for your bed to understanding the different price ranges and warmth levels. 

1. Selecting the Correct Size for Your Bed

The first step in buying a down duvet or comforter is to select the correct size for your bed. This is crucial as it ensures that your duvet fits your bed perfectly, providing you with maximum comfort. 

• Twin size down duvet for a twin bed: A twin-size down duvet typically measures 64” x 88”, while a twin mattress measures 39” x 75”. This means you will have about 12” of overhang on each side of the bed if your bed placement is in the center of a room. This size is perfect for those who have a twin bed and want a duvet that fits just right. 
• Queen size down duvet for a double mattress: A double mattress measures 54” x 75” and the average Queen Duvet is 90” x 90”. Choosing a Queen duvet for your double mattress gives you greater overhang over the mattress, making your bed look more luxurious and opulent. Plus, there is a much greater selection of duvet covers for Queen Down Duvets, as this is the most popular size sold. 
• King size down duvet for a king bed: If you have a king bed, you can choose a King size down duvet or two twin size duvets if you and your partner have different warmth requirements. When placing your order with isleptsowell.com, you can advise that you want half of your King Down Duvet at one warmth level and the other half at a different level to match the differing warmth requirements of you and your partner.

• Summer Comfort: This is perfect for those who live in hot climates, are hot sleepers, or who sleep in a very warm room. It's also a great choice for a duvet to use in the Summer. Ideal for a bedroom temperature of 19-22 degrees Celsius. 
• All Season Comfort: This is a great choice for the majority of people who have climate-controlled bedrooms and set their bedroom temperature to 16-19 degrees Celsius. 
• Winter Comfort: This is the perfect choice for cold sleepers who sleep in chilly bedrooms and set their bedroom temperature below 16 degrees Celsius.
