A duvet is an essential household item for cold and damp weather. The best duvets will be easy to keep clean, while warm enough to snuggle into during inclement weather. Some duvets are also anti-allergenic, making them perfect for those people who require extra protection. We survey a range of duvets in this review. Our pick is the Slumberdown anti-allergy single duvet for its comfort, cleaning properties, and anti-allergy filling.

Slumberdown anti-allergy duvet

Easy to clean and great to resist allergies

The Slumberdown anti-allergy duvet is perfect for balanced comfort, whether you're looking for a restful night's sleep or a relaxing night on the couch. The anti-allergy filling is ideal for those who have sensitivities, helping to reduce dust mites, bacteria, and other problems that commonly cause allergies.

Cleaning is a breeze since the duvet is machine washable at only 40 degrees Celsius, and it also can fit easily in the tumble dryer. The tog or warmth rating of the duvet allows you to use it all year round because it isn't too cold or warm. So this duvet is suitable for just about every use around the house, in all seasons.
