A good night’s sleep will do you a world of good, and it all starts with the right duvet! Use this guide to read up on everything from filling and sizing to warmth and weight — and
sleep easy knowing you have the knowledge you need to choose the perfect duvet.
What’s the difference between a duvet and a comforter? Wait, they’re not the same thing? Not exactly! A duvet is usually white, filled with down or an
alternative, and calls for a duvet cover. This makes it easy to keep clean and switch up the look of your bed whenever you like.
Un douillette, quant à lui, est généralement matelassé, rempli de fibres synthétiques et présente déjà un motif ou un dessin.
So which option is better? It depends on your personal preferences. But we prefer duvets for their versatility and ease of care. Not to mention, using a duvet cover is a good
way to protect your investment.
Fun fact: Ever wonder the difference between comforters and duvets? Our neighbours in the U.S. often use the word “comforter” to refer to a “duvet”! They also use the term
“duvet insert” on occasion.
We make our duvets with only the best, most-trusted materials. That’s a pretty bold statement, but as you’ll see in a moment, we have the certifications to back it up. We also
pay special attention to all the little details, from handy anchor loops that attach to our duvet covers to prevent slippage, and double-piped bound edges for an extra quality
edge.

Types de rembourrage des couettes
Pourquoi choisir une couette en soie ?
Did you know silk is the strongest natural fiber in the world? As you can imagine, that means our silk duvets are incredibly durable and long-lasting. What’s more, this
type of duvet is naturally hypoallergenic, as silk fibers are highly resistant to dust mites and bacteria.
Silk also possesses exceptional temperature regulating properties. Silk duvets adjust to a sleeper’s body temperature, keeping warm sleepers cool and cool sleepers warm
year-round. For those who run hot or share a bed, a silk duvet may be just the thing!
Puis-je laver une couette en soie ?
When used with a duvet cover, a silk duvet almost never needs cleaning! For any rogue spills, simply spot clean with a white, damp cloth. To freshen up a silk duvet,
air it out in the sun periodically. For detailed care instructions, visit this page.

Pourquoi choisir une couette en duvet ?
A classic, time-tested choice, down duvets provide superior insulation and will keep you warm on even the coldest nights. Down’s natural loft creates a full, fluffy
look that many associate with a stay at a luxury hotel. So this option is both functional and beautiful!
Down is also highly breathable with excellent moisture wicking properties, so you don’t need to worry about overheating either. Simply choose the right warmth for the
season (or your sleeping style!) and enjoy a blissful night’s sleep. Last but not least, a down duvet will last for decades with proper care, making it a sound
investment.
Puis-je laver une couette en duvet ?
Yes, our down duvets are machine washable and dryable. However, with careful use, a down duvet should only require washing every five to ten years. Always be sure to
follow care instructions closely for best results. Visit this page for detailed instructions!

*Fill power describes the fluffiness or loft of down. It’s determined by measuring how much air an ounce of down can hold. The bigger the down clusters, the higher the
fill power and the fluffier and warmer the duvet!
Pourquoi choisir une couette alternative ?
There are a few reasons you might choose a down alternative duvet. If you’re looking for an option with no animal by-products, a microgel or bamboo duvet fits the bill.
(The bill won’t be too big either!) Wool is another great option. Though technically an animal by-product, wool is animal-friendly, biodegradable, and sustainable.
Down alternatives are all hypoallergenic and come in a variety of warmths and weights. If you go with a wool duvet, you’ll enjoy excellent breathability,
moisture-wicking, and a sleek, flat drape. Meanwhile, microgel and bamboo duvets mimic the properties of down, so they have a more classic, fluffy look!
Puis-je laver une couette en duvet ?
Yes, most down alternative duvets are machine washable! Wool duvets should be dry-cleaned or spot-cleaned only. Again, it’s important to follow care instructions
closely to preserve your duvet. For more details on duvet care, visit this page.

Chaleur et poids des couettes
Everyone sleeps differently. Some run hot and sleep best with light layers. Others can never get warm enough and need extra layers. Many fall somewhere in between and
may benefit from switching duvets depending on the season.
As a general rule of thumb, if you’re a hot sleeper, go for a light warmth duvet. If you’re a cold sleeper, an extra warmth duvet is your best bet. For those who fall
in between, a year round warmth duvet may be just right.
That said, there are a few other factors to take into consideration before choosing your warmth. For starters, what’s the climate like where you live? If you’re an east
coaster, a year round warmth duvet may not cut it in the dead of winter. But if you live on the milder west coast, chances are you can get away with it!
You’ll also want to consider how many layers you sleep with. If you like using an extra blanket or throw or even have a thicker jacquard duvet cover, you may enjoy a
lighter warmth duvet. Note, if you have a down duvet, avoid adding heavy layers on top of it, as this can compress the down, which reduces insulation.
Whether you sleep with a partner is another consideration. Another body in a bed generates more heat, so for co-sleepers, a synthetic or extra warmth duvet can get a
little toasty. All this to say, if you share a bed, you’ll want to choose a breathable, temperature-regulating option like down or silk!
Time to weigh in! Do you like your duvet light and fluffy, like a cloud? Then, definitely go for down. Microgel and bamboo mimic the loftiness of down but are a little
heavier, so if you like a smidge more weight on your body, these duvets could be good options.
On the other hand, if you love the comforting feel of heavy blankets, you’ll want to choose a heavier duvet. Nodding along? Then, give silk a try! Silk duvets have the
most weight to them — although this also varies based on warmth level.
Wow!!! It is everything I hoped it would be. My bed is now like being in a luxury hotel. The weight is exactly right and the duvet stays put perfectly all night. -

Couette Pearl en soie de mûrier
This is the second mulberry silk duvet I've bought from QE Home. It does the job satisfactorily of keeping me warm - great in the summer (doesn't get too hot) and perfect
in the winter. If it gets really cold at night, I now have a weighted blanket as well to see me through.
- Susan
Couette en charbon de bambou
This has definitely been the best bedding purchase I have made to date. I naturally run hot, so I like to be cool when I sleep. This duvet is the only one that has been
able to keep me cool through the whole night.

Couette Carmanah Microgel
The duvet is perfect! It feels like sleeping in a cloud ☁️ and it’s not too heavy. Their service is also incredible! They made sure they had all the right shipping
information and got it sent to us in great time. Highly recommend!

Construction de la couette
The key with duvet construction is achieving an even distribution of the fill (AKA warmth!). And depending which duvet fill you go for, there are a few
different techniques to choose from. With down duvets, there are two main types of construction: baffle box and stitch box. Both are pretty much what they sound
like!
Baffle box construction involves a series of “boxes” created by stitching internal walls of fabric inside a duvet. These boxes allow down to loft to its full
extent and remain evenly distributed, preventing any cold spots. So this technique is perfect for colder sleepers, cooler weather, or anyone who likes an even
feeling of warmth.
Couette Prestige - Construction en piquage à carreaux cloisonnés
Stitch box construction also involves a series of boxes or pockets for the down. The difference is, these pockets are created by stitching directly through the
top and bottom layers of the duvet shell. With this method, down may be scarce along the sew lines, creating some cool spots and a more sculpted look. But if
you sleep on the warm side, this can be an advantage!
Couette Chinook - Construction en carreaux piqués
Our silk duvets use either stitch box, ring stitch, or even, hand stitch construction. Ring stitch involves a series of small rings stitched into the top and
bottom layer of the duvet, which prevents the silk floss from shifting. However, like stitch box construction, silk floss may be scarce along sew lines. So
again, this method may be better for warmer sleepers or climates.
Couette Meridian - piqûre en point de suture
Only our most premium silk duvet is hand stitched to create a series of evenly spaced loops throughout the top and bottom of the duvet. This secures the silk
floss and creates a perfectly even layer of warmth. Like baffle box construction, there are no cold spots with this method.
Couette Fortuna - Piqûres à la main
Only our most premium silk duvet is hand stitched to create a series of evenly spaced loops throughout the top and bottom of the duvet. This secures the silk
floss and creates a perfectly even layer of warmth. Like baffle box construction, there are no cold spots with this method.
Qu'en est-il de l'enveloppe en tissu d'une couette ?
Also known as the “ticking”, the fabric shell of a duvet contributes to your overall comfort! There are a couple factors to consider here, first being the
thread count. Anything above 220TC will be down-proof ー and rest assured, all our duvets meet this criteria.
The higher the thread count, the softer and lighter the shell. Softness isn’t as big a concern, as you’ll be using a duvet cover. But a lighter shell will allow
down or alternative fills to achieve greater loft and a fluffier look.
Second, consider the fabric! Most of our duvets are made with breathable, 100% cotton shells, woven in a sateen or jacquard. A sateen shell will be a little
lighter, while a jacquard adds more weight and warmth to a duvet.
Enveloppe en Jacquard
Enveloppe en satin
We also have natural alternatives, like bamboo. Our bamboo duvets are made with 100% bamboo rayon shells. These shells are slightly less breathable than cotton,
but they have excellent moisture-wicking properties.
In the end, a duvet shell isn’t quite as important as the fill. But understanding what makes a shell down-proof, how different weaves affect warmth and weight,
and which fabrics breathe best can help inform your decision!
Dimension de la couette
Quelle taille de couette dois-je choisir ?
Cette question peut sembler simple. Si vous avez un grand lit, vous devez acheter une couette pour grand lit, n'est-ce pas ? Peut-être bien ! Mais peut-être pas...
In some cases, you may want to size up. If you like a duvet that cascades over the sides of your bed or you share a bed and find yourself fighting over blankets, sizing up is a
great option. If you prefer your duvet to fit without too much overhang, stick to the same size as your bed.
