I found a good sale on duvets. They're not top of the line quality but what I can afford. One is cheaper-type goose down (had one of these before, wasn't too impressed).
The other is a gel-fibre :?:
Does anyone know how these are? I'm afraid it won't wash well......
Opinions anyone?

Sorry, can't help, Anna,. I went back to blankets. It's the only way to ensure I get some cover. Mr SW tends to cocoon himself in a duvet.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

I struggle with hotness so I opted for a goose feather and down - upping a level from duck and it's bliss. I confess I don't wash my duvets (life is far too short for that kind of effort) - once they're 'tired' they go a greyhound rescue centre, the staff need them for doggy post-op bedding.
I would never go for anything man-made, far too sweaty and uncomfy. I thought I could never afford goose feather and down but this was on a well known tropical river named site, cost under £40 and is wonderful. It's only 4.5 tog but perfect for us.

Sorry Anna, I don't have one or know anyone that does, although I will be keeping an eye on this thread for any feed back. I have looked at the reviews about them and sounds as if it would be perfect for me as I feel the cold so much and I like a duvet that flops round about me, here's hoping someone will come along with their input........................Marie xxSmile a while and while you smile

Pure Goose Down all the way for me.....no feathers though. Much lighter than anything else I`ve had, but still very warm.
I`m with DD on the washing - or rather not - and life being too short. Once it starts to look iffy, it goes!......Rosie.x.0 -

Boomer we dont have the huge top loading washing machines like you do in Canada so I reckon thats why we replace rather than wash duvets.
I do hang ours out the window to air off though, weather permitting, so I arent a total scruff.
I have feather and down as I dont like the feel of the synthetic.
Not sure what gel filled means, my son lives in Ontario but I havent heard any mention of them.

Well that settles it, a down one it will be. Thank you everyone!!
Kath, I think I'm an odd one here too for washing them. I expect one to last me a good long time. Phrased another way, I'm cheap.
