As temperatures cool and autumn sets in, shoppers are turning to Dusk for the Anti-Allergy Feels Like Down Duvet, described by buyers as 'like sleeping on a cloud'. The duvet, available in sizes from single to super king, costs £65 for the standard double in the 13.5 tog version.
Cosy features and options
The duvet is filled with plush microfibre and covered with a 100% cotton outer that is breathable and soft. The brand says it feels like real down 'without a feather in sight'. It comes in 4.5 tog (lightweight), 9 tog (medium weight), 13.5 tog (extra warmth), and all seasons (4.5 tog + 9 tog) for year-round flexibility, with higher tog ratings recommended for cooler months.
For washing, Dusk recommends professional laundering at 40 degrees in a large capacity machine and air drying.
Alternatives and shopper reviews
Shoppers could also consider the Slumberdown All Seasons 3-in-1 Double Duvet from Amazon, priced at £31.50. This combination duvet can be used as 4.5 tog for summer, 9 tog for spring/autumn, or clipped together for 13.5 tog winter warmth, and is machine washable at 40°C and tumble dryer friendly.
For those preferring real down, the John Lewis Natural Duck Feather and Down Duvet, 10.5 Tog, is priced at £65 for double size. The brand says a 'higher ratio of feathers to down gives this duvet a comforting, weightier warmth', and it is washable at 40°C.
Buyers of the Anti-Allergy Feels Like Down Duvet have left glowing reviews. One said: "like sleeping on a cloud" and added: "This has made such a difference to my mattress. It’s a must-have." Another said: "I absolutely love this duvet - it’s incredibly comfortable, well made, and has the perfect weight. The best duvet I’ve ever slept under."
A third reviewer wrote: "This duvet is plump, fluffy and feels exactly like a feather and down duvet - it even sounds like a feathery duvet. It’s warm, doesn’t lose its fullness like a feather duvet nor does it have that feathery smell about it." Another added: "I’ve always used feather duvets before but my daughter is allergic to them and this has seemingly stopped her runny nose and itchy eyes. Wish I’d have tried this solution sooner."
One four-star review noted the duvet feels "plush" but is "noisy": "Whilst this is a lovely duvet and feels so plush, it is quite noisy and crunchy - I can’t see this as something that will settled over time, as it is just the material, but more something I will have to get used to."
Another said it is "one of the best I've had", but added: "My only critique is the texture of the duvet, as it's a bit too crinkly so makes a bit of noise when you're turning in bed. But aside from that it's perfect." The Anti-Allergy Feels Like Down Duvet is available from Dusk.
