One of the single most important factor in keeping good health is sleep quality. Choosing duvets according to the filling ensures you to get the best sleep, enhancing your well being.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FEATHER FILLING DUVETS AND MICROFIBER FILLING DUVETS
While the outer casing of both the duvets is the same 100% fine cotton, the main difference between them is the filling materials.
Feather Duvets : Made from feathers which are found under the top layer of the feathers of ducks. They offer superior comfort, warmth and breathability.
Microfiber Duvets: Microfiber is fine quality of polyester fiber which is a man made material. While the softness of these duvets are similar to the feather duvets, they are a bit heavier than the feather duvet as more polyester fiber is filled in them to achieve the same warmth as feather duvets.
While both the duvets offer great comfort, cozy and plush feeling you can considering the following factors to take the right decision:
Comfort - Feather duvets are well known for their comfort. The soft and fluffy down filling offers an ultimate pleasure. While microfiber offers similar comfort as feather duvet, it is a bit heavier.
Warmth & Breathability - Feather is an excellent insulator and yet very breathable. Since feather duvets are filled with natural duck down they have an exceptional ability of keeping you warm during cold nights and wicking out excess sweat / heat during warm cloudy nights. Microfiber duvets have the same warmth as feather duvets but are not as breathable and are unable to regulate the excess body heat.
Allergies - The feather duvets leak few down feathers during changing of duvet covers. People allergic to feathers or general suspended particles may find it a bit uncomfortable. If you have allergies then microfiber duvets would be a better option.
Budget - Feather duvets are more expensive as the natural down feathers used for filling are expensive and cumbersome to collect. Since microfiber duvets are made from manmade fiber they are cheaper than feather duvets.
Durability - Feather duvets with proper care and maintenance can last for several years. Microfiber duvet also last long but do not have the same longevity as feather duvets.
Maintenance - Spot cleaning at home or else professional laundery is recommended for feather duvets. Microfiber duvet on the other hand are much easier to maintain and can be washed at home following the right washing instructions.
