Design and Construction

Each Waterproof & Flame Retardant Duvet is built with meticulous attention to quality, using high-grade fabrics and fillings that provide superior performance under demanding conditions.

1. Outer Covering Options

Polyurethane (PU) Coated Fabric – Premium Range: A soft, flexible material that is 100% waterproof, noiseless, and resistant to stains. The PU layer blocks moisture and bacteria while allowing breathability. Its smooth texture ensures comfort and durability in high-use environments.
Green Tint Flame Retardant Fabric – Value Range: A cost-effective option featuring a water-repellent and flame-resistant finish. The green tint indicates its compliance with safety standards, making it suitable for care homes, hospitals, and other institutional use.

Both fabrics are fully flame retardant and compliant with BS7175, providing reliable protection against ignition sources.

2. Filling Material – Hollowfibre Insulation

The inner filling consists of luxury hollowfibre polyester, which traps air efficiently for consistent warmth while remaining lightweight and breathable. Hollowfibre filling maintains its loft and shape even after repeated washing, ensuring long-lasting performance. This filling is also hypoallergenic, offering a cleaner, healthier sleep environment for sensitive users.

3. Stitching and Quilting

To ensure even distribution of filling, these duvets are stitched in box or channel quilted patterns. The quilting prevents clumping and maintains uniform insulation across the entire surface. Reinforced seams and durable thread further enhance strength, especially during frequent washing or drying.

Tog Ratings and Seasonal Options

The Waterproof & Flame Retardant Duvet range is available in multiple tog ratings to meet varying temperature and comfort needs:

4.5 Tog – Summer Lightness: Ideal for warm environments or centrally heated rooms where a lighter cover is preferred.
10.5 Tog – All-Season Comfort: A versatile choice suitable for year-round use.
13.5 Tog – Winter Warmth: Provides added insulation and cosiness during cold nights.
15 Tog – Maximum Warmth: Best suited for unheated rooms or extreme cold conditions.

GSM and Density

The duvets are produced in a range of 400–500 GSM, depending on tog rating and model. This ensures optimal warmth, softness, and durability. Despite the high density of filling, the materials remain light and flexible, making them easy to manage and store.
