How to care for a single duvet

The great news is that all our single duvets are machine-washable, and you should only need to wash them once or twice a year. Our down duvets and synthetic alternatives can all be washed at 40 degrees Celsius, meaning you can freshen up your summer duvet in a jiffy. For wool duvets, we recommend professional cleaning.For minor cleaning jobs, like if you spill a cuppa on your duvet, it’s best to spot-clean the patch with a damp cloth and some warm, soapy water rather than washing the whole thing. Make sure the area is thoroughly dry before popping back on your bed by using the cool setting on a hair dryer.For more cleaning and care tips, read our Duvets, Pillows and Toppers Care Guide.

Can I use a single duvet on a double bed?

Yes, you can use a single duvet on a double bed, using the Scandinavian Sleep Method. This is a bedding technique that’s designed to improve sleep quality for couples who usually play tug-of-war with their duvet. Each partner has their own single duvet, preventing duvet hogging. This is also a great option if one of you tends to get a little hotter throughout the night, as you can choose different tog ratings to improve sleep comfort.

How often should I replace my single duvet?

Most single duvets last 5-10 years, depending on the quality of the duvet and how well you look after it. For more information on the lifespan of duvets and how to make them last longer, read our Bedding Replacement Guide.
