Ceiling advice
We spend around a third of our lives in bed. The right choice of duvets is therefore a “life decision”. But finding the right duvet is not easy. Thick down duvets are too warm in summer and thin duvets are too cold in winter. Nevertheless, a summer blanket should be breathable and light as a feather on hot nights. A winter blanket, on the other hand, should keep you cozy and warm through cold winter nights.
Duvet materials
The choice of material not only affects the comfort, but also the ease of care and durability of your duvet. Different materials offer different advantages in terms of heat regulation, breathability, weight, and environmental friendliness. Here are the most important materials you should know:

down comforters
Down duvets offer incomparable sleeping comfort, which is largely determined by the quality of the down filling. The better the down is processed and the higher the down content in a down duvet, the more efficient the heat insulation and moisture transport are with a low duvet weight.

Eiderdown is the ultimate in down bedding. This down is hand-collected from the Icelandic eider duck in the wild and is known for its unbeatable softness and insulating properties.
Arctic wild duck down of the eiderdown type is a farmable alternative to the famous eiderdown. This down imitates eiderdown exceptionally well and offers excellent thermal insulation, perfect temperature regulation and at the same time is extremely light and comfortable.
Goose down offers an unrivalled warmth-to-weight ratio. It is extremely fluffy and therefore offers excellent insulation without feeling heavy on the body.
3. Microfiber blankets
Our microfiber blankets are made from high-quality Primaloft organic fiber, which is 100% biodegradable and recyclable. At the same time, this fiber imitates the positive properties of down and therefore offers a luxurious sleeping experience. This synthetic fiber is particularly light and yet offers excellent thermal insulation. PrimaLoft Bio is also breathable, which enables optimal temperature regulation while you sleep. Another advantage is the hypoallergenic nature of the material, which makes it ideal for allergy sufferers.
Organic duvets
Organic duvets are an excellent choice for those who have both comfort and the environment in mind. Whether made from luxurious silk, breathable virgin wool, temperature-regulating camel hair or an eco-friendly silk-Tencel mix, each of these duvets brings its own benefits.

The right duvet for the season
4. Summer blankets (room temperature 22 - 31 °C)
As temperatures rise, many people are looking for a way to sleep cool and comfortably. Summer blankets are the ideal solution for this. These summer blankets are made from lighter materials such as cotton or silk, or low fill down duvets and offer excellent breathability. They are designed to efficiently dissipate excess heat and moisture so you can sleep comfortably even on hot nights. The summer blankets work optimally at a room temperature of approx. 22 - 31 °C.
5. 4-season blankets (room temperature 16 - 22 °C)
For those looking for a versatile solution, 4-season blankets are the perfect choice. These blankets are usually made of the same materials, but have a filling amount that is suitable for every season. This means it can be used on both warm summer nights and winter nights. The all-season blanket works optimally at a room temperature of 16 - 22 °C. This makes these blankets the perfect choice for anyone who only wants to take one blanket for every season.
6. Winter blankets (room temp. 11 - 16 °C)
When the temperatures drop, there's nothing nicer than wrapping yourself in a warm, cozy winter blanket. Winter blankets are specially designed for the cold season and offer maximum warmth and comfort at a room temperature of 11 - 16 °C. Materials such as down, virgin wool or camel hair are particularly suitable for storing heat while allowing good air circulation.
