5 mistakes when buying duvets – and how to avoid them

Introduction: Why buying duvets is often underestimated

A duvet accompanies us every night – and directly influences our sleep quality. Yet many people make basic mistakes when buying one. In this article, we'll show you the five most common mistakes when buying a duvet – and how to avoid them.

Mistake 1: Choosing the wrong heat class

A common mistake is buying a duvet that doesn't match the room temperature or your personal warmth preferences. Those who use a duvet that's too warm in the summer or too light in the winter will experience more restless sleep.

Tip: Choose the heat class that matches the room temperature:
– Summer blanket (22 °C and more)
– Lightweight all-season duvet (18–22 °C)
– Winter blanket (below 18 °C)

Mistake 2: Unsuitable materials

Cheap synthetics or non-breathable materials quickly create a poor sleeping environment. This can also cause problems for allergy sufferers.

Tip: Look for natural, breathable, and certified materials like lyocell, camel hair, or down. These optimally regulate moisture and temperature.

Mistake 3: Not paying attention to the filling

Many people only pay attention to the cover, but not to the filling. This is crucial for the duvet's warmth, weight, and durability.

Tip: Look for high-quality fillings with a good CUIN value (for down) or natural fibers like silk, camel hair, or lyocell. Learn more in the article "What does CUIN mean?"

Mistake 4: Standard size is not standard for everyone

Many people automatically choose a 135x200 cm size – but that doesn't suit every body type. Those who are taller or move around a lot need a larger blanket.

Tip: For more comfort, we recommend 155x220 cm or even 200x220 cm. Luxecosy offers a variety of sizes to suit every sleeping preference.

Mistake 5: Putting price before quality

Cheap duvets are often attractive in the short term, but lack long-term quality. They lose their shape quickly, insulate poorly, and feel uncomfortable.

Tip: Invest in durable, handmade duvets from sustainable production. These will pay off in the long run – for comfort, the environment, and your health.

Buying the right duvet is an investment in your quality of sleep. Avoid the mistakes mentioned above – and opt for high-quality materials, the right warmth rating, and the right size.
