When investing in your duvet, it’s important to consider the proper fill and weight so you can choose the duvet that will provide you with the best sleep. A common alternative to our fluffy white goose down, down alternative mimics the warmth and fluff for a cozy comforter that you can use year-round. However, there are different types of down alternative duvets that each reign their own benefits. Find out the difference between down alternative and lightweight down alternative to find your perfect match. 

What is Down Alternative?

Our down alternative inserts are filled with premium 100% Virtudown®, an exceptionally fluffy alternative fill whose loft mirrors the comforting texture and warmth of genuine goose down. Crafted with a silky, soft, and breathable 100% cotton sateen shell, featuring a remarkable three-dimensional baffle box construction that keeps the silky spiraled microfibers & heat evenly distributed, and double stitched seams for ensured longevity.

What is Lightweight Down Alternative?

Lightweight down alternative inserts consist of the same fill as down alternative but with a lighter weight. It is filled less heavily than down and down alternative inserts for a comfortable, extra breathable and cooling duvet option. Lightweight duvets work best for those who consider themselves hot sleepers or live in warmer climates. Consider pairing your lightweight down alternative duvet with a percale duvet cover for the perfect summer bed.

The Best Duvets & Which To Choose

Always look for duvets made with quality materials regardless of the type of duvet you are looking for. All of our duvets are made with authentic, hypoallergenic material and are down standard certified for bedding that is humane and safe for our skin. Choose European white goose down for the warmest, fluffiest comforter option or opt for down alternative for a more affordable, less dense option. If you prefer something a bit lighter, invest in a lightweight down alternative duvet for a sleep filled with cooling comfort.
