A waterproof flame retardant duvet has a coated outer you wipe clean and a flame retardant treatment to BS 7175. We make two: the PU coated Premium Range and the Green Tint Value Range, both 10.5 tog with a hollowfibre filling, in single and double. They suit care homes, NHS settings, hotels and rented rooms. Free delivery over £35 and 365-day returns on unused duvets.
Waterproof duvets for care homes, hotels and rentals
When a duvet is soaked through on a Monday and in the bin by Tuesday, a care home pays for it twice. These waterproof duvets are built for the spill: a coated outer that wipes clean, over a hollowfibre filling. Some shoppers search for a waterproof quilt. It is the same thing, and every one of ours is a duvet.
Both ranges are flame retardant to BS 7175, the British Standard for how bedding behaves when it meets an ignition source. Our listings name Source 5, the crib ignition source in that standard, so you can match it to the requirement in your fire risk assessment.
Premium Range or Value Range
The Premium Range has a polyurethane (PU) coated outer. The Green Tint Value Range has a polypropylene outer in green. Both are flame retardant treated and share a 100% polyester flame retardant treated hollowfibre filling in 10.5 tog. Single and double are listed, with packs of 5, 10, 50 and 100. Our green tint duvets page compares them side by side.
Looking after a coated duvet
Wipe the outer with a damp cloth between uses. The duvets are also machine washable, so follow the care label for the wash temperature. For a warmer tog without the waterproof outer, our flame retardant duvets come in 10.5 and 13.5 tog.
Why buy waterproof duvets from The Towel Shop
We make our duvets in-house, so the same hollowfibre filling runs through every pack size from a single duvet to a bag of 100, with no minimum order. NHS settings and hotels buy from us. Delivery is free over £35, there is a price match promise, and unused duvets can go back within 365 days.
