Microfiber Duvets
A good night’s sleep depends on more than just a comfortable bed — it starts with the right duvet. Among all duvet types, microfiber duvets stand out for their perfect blend of comfort, durability, and easy maintenance. Designed to mimic the luxurious softness of natural down while being lightweight and hypoallergenic, microfiber duvets have become a favourite in UK homes, hotels, and guest accommodations. These duvets offer an inviting combination of warmth and breathability, making them suitable for year-round use. Their fine synthetic fibres trap air efficiently, providing insulation without the heaviness of traditional fillings.
Key Features of Microfiber Duvets
- Material and Construction
Microfiber duvets are made from ultra-fine polyester fibres woven tightly to create a smooth and soft outer casing. Most microfiber duvets come with a 100% polyester microfibre cover, offering a silky texture similar to high-thread-count cotton. Inside, the filling consists of hollow or solid microfiber strands engineered for excellent loft and resilience. These fibres retain their shape even after repeated washing, ensuring lasting fluffiness and warmth.
- GSM (Grams per Square Metre) Options
GSM determines the thickness and warmth of the duvet. Microfiber duvets are available in various GSM weights to suit different climates and preferences:
- 300–400 GSM: Lightweight duvets ideal for summer use or naturally warm sleepers.
- 500–600 GSM: Medium-weight duvets perfect for spring and autumn, balancing warmth and breathability.
- 650–800 GSM: Heavy duvets for colder months, providing superior insulation and cosiness.
- Design and Stitching Styles
Microfiber duvets are crafted in several stitching patterns to maintain an even distribution of filling and prevent clumping:
- Box-Stitched: Keeps filling evenly spread across each section for consistent warmth.
- Channel-Stitched: Offers a smooth look and allows better airflow through the duvet.
- Diamond Quilted: Combines aesthetic appeal with functional durability for long-term use.
These styles not only enhance comfort but also maintain the duvet’s neat appearance after frequent washing.
- Tog Ratings for All Seasons
Microfiber duvets come in a range of tog ratings — a measure of thermal insulation. Options include:
- 4.5 Tog: Light and breathable for summer months.
- 10.5 Tog: Mid-weight warmth suitable for all seasons.
- 13.5 Tog & 15 Tog: Extra warmth for winter or cooler bedrooms.
Style and Colour Options
While white remains the classic choice for a clean, hotel-inspired look, microfiber duvets are also available in subtle tones like cream, ivory, and green tint — all of which complement a wide range of bedding styles. Many versions feature piped edges and double stitching for a refined finish and improved durability.
Care Instructions
Maintaining a microfiber duvet is simple:
- Machine Washable: Most options can be washed at 40°C or 60°C.
- Quick Drying: The lightweight fabric dries faster than cotton or down.
- Tumble Dry Friendly: Retains shape and fluff after drying.
- No Ironing Required: The smooth surface resists wrinkles naturally.
This easy-care nature makes microfiber duvets one of the most convenient bedding choices for both households and commercial buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is a microfiber duvet?
A microfiber duvet is made from ultra-fine polyester fibres that create a soft, smooth, and lightweight filling. It mimics the luxurious feel of natural down but is hypoallergenic, durable, and easier to care for.
Q2: Are microfiber duvets suitable for all seasons?
Yes, microfiber duvets are available in various tog ratings such as 4.5, 10.5, 13.5, and 15 togs. This makes them ideal for both summer and winter, depending on the warmth level you prefer.
Q3: How do I wash a microfiber duvet?
Microfiber duvets are machine washable, usually at 40°C or 60°C. Use a gentle cycle and mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the duvet’s fluffiness. Tumble dry on low heat and shake the duvet afterward to maintain its loft.
Q4: Are microfiber duvets good for allergy sufferers?
Yes. Microfiber duvets are hypoallergenic, meaning they resist dust mites, mould, and bacteria. This makes them perfect for those with asthma, skin sensitivities, or respiratory allergies.
Q5: What is the difference between microfiber and hollowfibre duvets?
Both fillings are synthetic and hypoallergenic, but microfiber duvets have finer fibres, giving them a softer and more luxurious texture. Hollowfibre duvets feel slightly firmer and are better at trapping heat due to their hollow strands.
