A flame retardant duvet is treated to resist ignition, and ours are named to BS 7175, ignition source 5. They come in 10.5 tog for all-year use and 13.5 tog for cold rooms, with a flame retardant treated polyester cover over a 100% polyester hollowfibre filling. Single and double sizes, in packs from one to 100. Free delivery over £35 and 365-day returns on unused duvets.
Flame retardant duvets for care homes, hotels and rented rooms
A fire risk assessment will ask what the bedding meets, and a manager who cannot answer has a problem. BS 7175 is the British Standard for how bedding behaves when it meets an ignition source, and our listings name it, with ignition source 5. These duvets suit care homes, hotels, student accommodation and rented rooms, and NHS settings buy from us.
The cover is a flame retardant treated polyester and the filling is 100% polyester hollowfibre, so there are no feathers. The flame retardant duvets are not waterproof. If you need a wipe-clean outer, see our waterproof duvets.
10.5 tog or 13.5 tog
10.5 tog is the all-year weight for a bedroom with normal heating. 13.5 tog is for rooms that turn cold, such as an upstairs bedroom in an older building. The duvet buying guide explains tog room by room.

Single is 137 x 198 cm (54 x 78 in) and double is 198 x 198 cm (78 x 78 in). The duvets are machine washable and tumble dry on a warm to cool setting. Check the care label before you wash.

Flame retardant duvets FAQs
What does BS 7175 mean on a duvet?
BS 7175 is the British Standard for the resistance of bedding to ignition sources. Our duvets are named to ignition source 5, the crib source in that standard, and test certificates are available.
Are your flame retardant duvets safe for home use?
Yes, a household can buy them. Most buyers are care homes, hotels and student lets, but a single duvet is available for your own bed.
Do flame retardant duvets feel different?
The cover is a flame retardant treated polyester, and the filling is the same hollowfibre polyester as our other hollowfibre duvets. The listings describe them as light and breathable.
Can I machine wash a flame retardant duvet?
Yes. Follow the care label, and tumble dry on a warm to cool setting.
Which tog should I choose for a care home bedroom?
Start with the coldest night the room gets. 10.5 tog suits a heated bedroom, and 13.5 tog suits one that turns cold. Our 10.5 tog and 13.5 tog flame retardant duvets each have a page of their own.
Can I order 50 or 100 at once?
Yes. The buy box lists a single duvet and packs of 5, 10, 50 and 100, with no minimum order. NHS settings and hotels buy this way, and 01204 455755 is the number for quotes.
