goose feather duvet

I've continued to persevere with 13.5 tog hollow fibre duvets for the cooler months and got fed up of how sweaty they can make you feel at times regardless of the quality of the duvet cover. Finally decided it was time for a decent Goose feather and down duvet again and I seriously wish I'd changed back to one much sooner. Extremely well finished with decent sized box baffles to keep the filling evenly spread out and stop it all bunching up on one end or side of the duvet. There's plenty of filling evenly spread across each section and the feathers and down have been cleaned and treated for hygiene too. No nasty odours and they're definitely filled with the smaller soft warm down and under feathers, no larger feathers with thicker shafts that can constantly jab you or pierce the outer shell. (I certainly can't say the same for cheaper feather/down duvets I've had in the past which ended up being a complete waste of money and resulted in me choosing hollow fibre instead which came with its own downsides too. Better to spend a little extra on a quality duvet like these Homescapes that can even be machine washed at home. Look after your duvet and they do last well too.) I closely looked over the entire duvet when I received it and I couldn't find any tatty ends or bad stitching at all, they're very well made indeed and the outer shell is also very good quality. Nowhere near as bulky or heavy as the 13.5 tog hollow fibre duvet it replaced but it's certainly just as warm and it's a whole lot more comfortable too. Like others, my only minor criticism is the exterior shell of the duvet is made of a fabric that rustles a lot when it's being moved about or when you move underneath it but I'd rather have the quality anti dust mite shell than go without with a feather duvet for hygiene, etc. It should improve with time as the duvet sees more use and it's not a huge issue, more of an observation than a criticism to be fair. Otherwise, I can't fault this product at all. For their price they're just great. (Give a new duvet a jolly good shake a couple of times a day for a week or two to plump it up and really get the air back into after it's been tightly packed into the storage bag for best results, after that a quick shake once a day and they really are toasty warm.) Duvet is supplied in a thin carry/storage bag with a zip. Full instructions for care and washing are included. 5/5. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

This is a very good quality feather quilt, at a very reasonable price. Delivery was almost next day, for standard delivery. Ordered it late one evening and it arrived two mornings after. I have had many feather duvets over the years, and none have been better quality than this. I had a 15 tog synthetic-five duvet on my bed before this, for the past year, which was pleasantly warm (but I usually needed a bedspread over it in very cold weather), and as I was in my bed when the new duvet came, I was able to experience the immediate difference when I put the 13.5 tog feather replacement on. It was actually much warmer, even though it was a lower tog! (I couldn't find a 15 tog feather duvet.) It is perfect. I think it was £35 plus a fiver delivery charge (single sized Homescapes duvet). You will not get as good a quality duvet for less than this online. I have also purchased before the ultra-cheap duvets at somewhere around the Twenty Pounds mark - there are a couple of companies offering these. Don't bother! Despite what they say in their product descriptions, the fillings in these cheaper ones are scanty, they feel colder than the duvet I was replacing, and you could also see light through some gappy parts. They're not worth the price, however cheaply attractive they are. If you want a good quality feather duvet, buy a Homescapes one! The stiching is neat and sturdy, and each boxed section is equally plump with feather filling. There is no odour. The feathers have been CLEANED (not the case in the cheaper competitors' products, which are of low quality to match the price (you don't get something for nothing...). They are small sized feathers, there are no sharp quill feather stalks to make up the bulk, no sharp sticky-out bits. Again, this is not the case with the twenty-pounds variety, which in my opiniion are not wor.th buying because their quality is so poor. No point paying ANYTHING for a substandard product. I know because I have done so myself before, at least once, perhaps twice. The Homescapes price is still very reasonable at £35 plus postage. If you want to know what a warm, good quality feather duvet should feel like, I recommend that you opt for this one.

This duvet is just BEAUTIFUL! Really snuggly, hugs your body (as other reviewers have said) without being a damned nuisance and wrapping itself round your legs. It is just totally, totally LOVELY in every respect, from the crinkly noise 'proper' duvets make to the way it is just so comfortable, comforting and enjoyable. I have always had raging insomnia and frankly, I thought that this purchase might help me to sleep a bit better. It certainly has done that and recently, I even went to sleep under it DURING THE DAY, for several hours. I might have done that twice in my whole life and this was the second time! This is my first 'proper' feather and down duvet and I treated myself because of the insomnia and because I wanted to make going to bed as pleasant as it can ever be for someone who struggles to sleep. If you are worrying it will be too hot, DON'T be. It replaced a really thin, low-tog man-made duvet that I've been using right through the winter, because my bedroom gets very hot. Since using this duvet, I haven't ever been either too hot or too cold. It manages to somehow adjust itself to the right temperature. I can't recommend this duvet enough, so if you are wondering whether or not to give it a go, my advice would be that you jump right on in!

To anyone wanting to pick up a real bargain and end up with an ultra -soft, well made and comfy duvet I would say look no further but there are a couple of things I would say about this item. The first is that the duvet is so soft and therefore limp that it has a habit of moulding itself around you quite snuggly. This of course is great for keeping you warm but if you are a 'hot person' like me you might find the way that the duvet clings to your body a bit too much especially on a warm night. The second thing is that this duvet is not overly big for a biggish person (I'm 16 and a half stone and 5 feet 11 inches) and so you might do better to think about buying a 'King Size' duvet. I myself already had a King size but had forgotten that when buying this and so have noticed the reduction. A King Size definitely allows more of the duvet to drape down the sides of a single bed and in the case of this particular duvet might even have helped with the 'clingy' problem mentioned earlier. Anyway, no intention of being a 'party pooper' regarding this item - it really is a bargain - but I just want to ensure that you are all aware of the pro's and cons BEFORE you purchase it.

I spent a lot of time thinking about buying this duvet and wondering if it was good quality given the price is so much cheaper than most Goose down duvets. I read loads about goose down duvets but getting a nice Hungarian one was just not in my price range. Then one day my ex moved out and left me with no duvet so I had to buy one sharpish and went for this one. Best decision ever! I feel like I have a bed now that you would get in a 5* hotel. It's the right weight (I like a heavy(ish) duvet) and the temperature is perfect now it's getting cold. I actually took a duvet day off work to spend time in my bed. I bought the pillows and they're great as well. So I'm not going to lie, it does smell when you get it but it's not a big problem, I just stuck if over a clothes horse outside for a few hours and aired it out. The smell isn't totally gone but It's leaving, it's not offensive, it's a natural goose smell, so at least I know the feathers are from real birds. If you are like me and you like to get the most for your money and want great quality at a reasonable price then I would definitely get this duvet.

I was looking for a goose and down winter duvet and found this one. There were other cheaper options but when I saw this one I read a load of reviews before deciding to buy. It arrived yesterday at work so I came home and went straight upstairs and out in the bed, switched in the electric blanket and was looking forward to trying it out. So finally bed time came and off I went. I snuggled down and was amazed at the weight of the weight of the duvet (ok granted I just took the summer duvet off my bed) and immediately I felt quite snug and cosy. I've tossed and turned a lot during the night (not sleeping too great just now not the duvet fault) and yep I'm pleased to say it does what it says in the tin. The feathers haven't fallen to the sides and I've remained cosy all night and at some stages a wee bit too cosy too but that might be age related lol. All in all an excellent quality duvet that really does keep you warm and would highly recommend to anyone.

needed a new duvet and decided on a feather and down,as id never had one before i really didnt want to go into hundreds of pounds just incase i didnt get on with it.this was the perfect solution.delivery took a matter of 4 days and was packaged perfectly.i read some of the reviews and took the advice to give the duvet a good shake and leave it for a few hours before using.the feathers obviously puffed up and looked to be evenly filled in their pockets.as others have said,it does make a rustling sound but it doesnt bother me at all,i actually find it quite comforting(maybe im weird).its not too heavy and lovely and warm without being overbearingly hot.really happy with my purchase

Brilliant product for cold nights feels like your in a giant hug

L'article mérite les 5 étoiles, couette comme oreillers, le top qualité pour pas cher. Par contre l'emballage plastique était déchiré de part en part et la poste m'a laissé vérifier si tout était bien dans le colis! Heureusement oui, et en bon état. Je pense qu'un conditionnement plus solide pour des produits tels que ceux-ci, seraient le bienvenu. Merci

Really warm and nice.

super warm and high quality

caldo e confortevole! 5+ Stelle

Ah quel plaisir d'avoir acheté cette couette ! On a ici un produit presque à l'ancienne qui me ravi... Bon, c'est vrai que l'on est pas sur un produit 100% duvet d'oie, ou mieux, de canard, ce qui pourra déranger certain au niveau de la taille des plumes, mais dans une housse de couette épaisse en coton, cela me va très bien. Et puis niveau prix cela aurait été beaucoup plus cher entièrement en duvet... Je précise, comme l'on souligné certains, qu'il faut un petit temps d'utilisation et de brassage afin que cette couette retrouve son volume final après déballage, après quoi, on a un produit chaud, confortable et qui offre de douces nuit. Cependant, je ne pense pas l'utiliser en été car c'est quand même une couette relativement chaude. Ceux qui cherchent un produit plus polyvalent devraient s'orienter sur le modèle avec un TOG inférieur (grammage). D'ailleurs le site web Homescapes.fr propose plus de choix que sur Amazon et j'y ai également commandé des oreillers en plumes monstrueusement confortables d'une qualité exemplaire en 80x80, une vrai tuerie. N'oubliez pas de bien tapoter votre couette ou vos oreillers en plumes chaque matin pour éviter l'agglomération des plumes... Faire prendre un peu l'air frais à votre couette une fois par mois permet également de maintenir son volume et sa fraîcheur... Je recommande cette marque anglaise qui fabrique et vend des articles de literie vraiment très qualitatif pour un prix, certe plus cher que de l'Ikea, mais d'une qualité largement meilleure. Et si l'on veut bien dormir, investir un peu plus sera bien vite rentabilisé au niveau de votre qualité de sommeil. Le seul inconvénient que j'y vois pour l'instant, c'est que j'ai plus de mal à me lever tellement j'ai du mal à sortir de ce confort que j'ai retrouvé ^^
