Construction of duvets

SUPERLIGHT and LIGHT are the classic summer duvets - airy, light, and temperature-balancing UNO / MONO are the duvets for the transitional period and for bedrooms with constant temperature (down duvets are called MONO) DUO / DUO plus designates the typical winter duvet. Two duvets connected at the sides enclose an air cushion that retains body heat and protects against cold. TRIO is called the extra warm winter duvet. Three duvets connected at the sides enclose an especially large air cushion, which keeps warm even at very cold temperatures. DUETT or 4-Seasons Duvet: a light summer duvet (LIGHT) and a warmer transitional duvet (UNO) buttoned together form a warm winter duvet.

Washing - duvets and pillows

How to Wash Duvets and Pillows? Down duvets/pillows should be washed in the care program at 40°C to a maximum of 60°C and dried exclusively in the dryer at reduced temperature (see care instructions). We recommend a liquid down or wool detergent. Regularly remove the duvet/pillow during drying to avoid heat build-up. Fiber duvets/pillows should be washed in the care program at up to 60°C and dried exclusively in the dryer at reduced temperature (see care instructions). We recommend a liquid fine detergent without optical brighteners. Regularly remove the duvet/pillow during drying to avoid heat build-up. Natural duvets should only be washed in exceptional cases and only if the care instructions allow it. Natural fibers can change their properties through washing; they can also shrink or felt. Note: Check the duvet/pillow for damage beforehand and consider the capacity of the washing machine and dryer. The detailed washing instructions as a video:
