Eco & Sustainability
GRS stands for Global Recycling Standard. This is the recycling, sustainability and environmentally friendly standard we have been awarded. You can read more about this here.
All of our feather and down products are sourced with our down commitment in mind. We promise to always guarantee quality products, that they have been tested and verified to meet our claims and are made of responsibly and ethically sourced components. Not only that, but we promise to never incur any feather or down live plucking, that these have all been sourced as by-products of the food industry, much like leather and wool, and that these products can be fully traceable back to the source and further.
By advertising our duvets as ‘ethically sourced’ means that we can trace the filling materials in each of our Down and Feather and Down filled products back to the farm area – ensuring that the animals involved were raised following good animal husbandry and were not subject to any cruel practices such as live plucking or force feeding. As we use animal by-products, animal welfare is something we are very mindful of. To guarantee this we only work with partners who share our stringent standards and total commitment to animal welfare. We annually audit all of our supply partners to ensure compliance. The audits are done through the independently recognised IDFL (International Down and Feather testing Laboratory).

Products
A duvet’s tog rating indicates the amount of warmth it provides; the higher the tog, the warmer the duvet. All of our core duvets come in 10.5 tog which we recommend as a suitable ‘year round’ tog. For different tog sizes, please contact us to discuss custom orders.
Fill power was originally introduced in the manufacturing of feather filled outdoor jackets and is used as a measurement to determine weight and insulating ability of down & feather. We have removed the fill power point from the description as it isn’t necessarily applicable to natural duvets as it can be confusing and doesn’t explain the duvet specification.
Synthetic means man-made fibres and fabrics and natural is feather/down filling. You can find more detailed information of compositions in the ‘Product Details & Care Guide’ section on individual product pages.
We can assure you, there is nothing wrong with your product. Natural products to tend to have a particular ‘smell’ to them, which is generally attributed to natural products. We do find that in the heat, this smell becomes stronger. This could be down to you being hot as well and potentially sweating during your sleep.
We advise regular airing of products during this time and potentially washing your products, however please read all product washing instructions before you do this! If a product is washed, please ensure that the product is completely dry before you put it back on the bed, shaking the product thoroughly to avoid clumping. Where a product can’t be washed, airing in a well ventilated room or even the garden is just as good.
In some instances, such as with pillows, these may fit in our tumble dryer. As above, please read all product washing instructions before you do this! We do not usually advise to tumble dry natural products, however in desperate situations you could potentially put your pillows in the tumble dryer on a cool, low, reduced temperature spin for a very short time with a tumble drying fragrance cloth. Please check your products repeatedly to make sure they are ok and that there is no scorching to the feathers.
Mattress toppers tend to be of a higher thickness than an enhancer – both add an additional layer of padding and extra comfort. They are especially good for providing extra softness to a mattress that is maybe a little too hard or for extending the life of an ageing mattress.
Fire & Furnishing Regulations only apply to pillows and toppers and all our pillows and toppers comply with Fire & Furnishing Regulations. If it doesn’t pass the test, then we won’t sell it to you.
If you have already purchased your product the washing instructions are printed on the sewn in sash label. All washing instructions are also listed on our website on the product information page. PLEASE ALWAYS CHECK THE PRODUCT LABEL BEFORE YOU WASH OR LAUNDER YOUR PRODUCTS.
Generally speaking, we recommend any synthetic duvet that has been washed to be air dried thoroughly to ensure the filling is completely dry. To ensure the synthetic duvet or pillow is completely dry, we would suggest weighing the product before and after you wash and dry the item – if the product is heavier after drying, this implies there’s still water in the product and has therefore not been dried thoroughly. PLEASE ALWAYS CHECK THE PRODUCT LABEL BEFORE YOU WASH OR LAUNDER YOUR PRODUCTS.
We source our materials worldwide and we select our suppliers carefully with careful consideration taking to working conditions. We are members of Sedex – the supplier ethical data exchange and all our tier 1 suppliers are audited annually by third paries to ensure compliance.
Because of our specially designed siliconised fibres, our duvets will scrunch down quite small. We recommend that a standard 7kg washing machine will fit our king size duvet or smaller, while 5kg will fit a double or single in. You can see a guide on how to wash your duvet here. PLEASE ALWAYS CHECK THE PRODUCT LABEL BEFORE YOU WASH OR LAUNDER YOUR PRODUCTS.
