What are the care instructions for your duvet?

Daily Care

  • Use a Duvet Cover: We recommend protecting your duvet with a breathable cotton cover to guard against dust and dirt. This is even more essential if you have pets.

  • Air It Out Regularly: In the morning, wait about 30 minutes before making your bed—ideally with a window open to let moisture evaporate.

 

Quick Care Tips (No Washing Needed)

  • Outdoor Refresh: On windy days (ideally below freezing), hang your duvet outside for a quick water-free refresh. This effectively removes dust and moisture.

  • Seasonal Refresh (1–2 Times per Season): Place your dry duvet in the dryer on low heat with wool dryer balls for 20 to 30 minutes to maximize its fluffiness.

Washing at Home When using a cover, occasional washing is all that’s needed. You can use a home washing machine if the following conditions are met:

  • Drum Capacity: The drum must be extra-large and without a central agitator. A drum that is too small will prevent proper cleaning.

  • Cycle & Water: Use a delicate cycle with cold water and select an extra rinse cycle.

  • Detergent: Use a small amount of mild liquid soap free of bleach or fabric softeners.

  • What to Avoid: Do not use detergent pods (they dissolve poorly in large items and often contain harsh bleaching agents) or dry cleaning (chemicals dry out and permanently damage the down).

Drying & Restoring Loft Drying is the most critical step to restore your duvet’s full volume:

  • Settings: Run multiple short cycles of 15 to 20 minutes on air dry/no heat or very low heat, without fabric softener.

  • Fluff Between Cycles: Between each cycle, shake the duvet well to separate the down evenly.

  • Dryer Balls: Add 3 large (or 5–6 small) natural wool dryer balls to help fluff the down. Avoid using tennis balls.

What treatment does the down go through ?

When the down arrives at the supplier, it goes through a 5-step cleaning process. First, the down is dedusted and washed in very hot water. Then, detergent and organic degreasers are added to wash it thoroughly. In addition, fifteen rinse cycles result in the removal of any fine dust left and possible residues.

Afterwards, Ultra-fresh disinfectant is used to remove bacteria. This anti-bacterial product makes down (and feathers) hypoallergenic, ensuring durable freshness. Finally, water is removed from down by centrifuge and steam-dried at 100° C/212 °F. Once down is fully dry and sterilized, it is sorted by quality (fillpower-loft).

Are ducks mistreated?

No, never.

 We ensure that down comes from farms complying with Canadian laws on animal ethics. Duck producers have audits on a regular basis to ensure that animals are well treated and never force-fed.

Furthermore, the ducks are raised for food, not for their down and feathers. It’s good to know that a mature duck yields about 95-97 % of its income for meat and 3-5 % for its down. Down is a residual product from the food chain. Unfortunately, the world-wide laws may vary depending on countries.

Each manufacturing company is free to buy down without worrying about the animals being respected in order to save some money. Obviously, that isn’t our choice and neither yours. Thus, all our down products carry the quality assurance label of The Down Association of Canada.

What is the difference between a comforter and a duvet?

A comforter is filled with synthetic insolation while a duvet is filled with natural materials such as down (and/or feathers).

Be cautious of misleading labels on the market such as synthetic down comforters, micro-down duvets, gel down duvets, microfiber down blankets, etc. All these terms are used to describe the polyester comforter.

When it’s a real duvet, the packaging must simply read: down/duvet.

Why does the price of down products vary so much?

There are three factors to consider in the equation: down quality, fabric quality and the manufacturing country of origin.

Down

There are a lot of varieties of down quality due to different fillpower and  because of the mixture composition of down/feathers. Hence, the down factor of 700 will almost cost twice the price of that of 450-500. In addition, the down volume used to fill the duvet will also have a considerable influence on the price. Finally, the animal’s nature is crucial, the eiderdown having the highest market value due to its rarity.

Fabric

The higher the thread count, the softer and finer the fabric will be, consequently having a proportionnal price. For example, a 400 threads/inch fabric is much more expensive than a 300 threads/ inch fabric.

Manufacturing country and finish details

A product manufactured in Canada costs more in labor than a product manufactured in Asia.

Is goose down better than duck down?

At equal maturity, goose down is better than duck down. However, it is important to know that the down of a mature duck is superior to that of a young goose. Goose genetics provide them with a more voluminous down when younger, but the down of mature duck will be of equal quality. Therefor, goose down with a fillpower of 750 is as good as duck down with a fillpower of 750, since both of them fill the same space with the same weight.

Is white down better than gray down?

No.

The color does not determine the quality, but  white down is generally used for duvets and pillows because the covering fabric is generally white. White down tends to be more expensive because of it’s higher demand on the global market.

What’s the difference between down and feathers?

Down is located under the feathers of the animal. It’s a fluffy three-dimensional structure that can stock air, while feathers are flat and cannot store much air. Feathers are only  used for filling space and are much heavier.

When you touch down fill duvet quilt, you feel only softness compare to feather quilt. Feather quilt are more firm with some sharp and crisp. The difference of handfeel is strong and perspicious.

Is it possible to be allergic to down?

Once cleaned and treated, down is as hypoallergenic as synthetic insulating materials.

Our down is cleaned with performance Ultra-fresh® antibacterial.

Is it necessary to put the duvet in a duvetcover?

It is always better to put the duvet in a duvetcover to protect it from dust and dirt. Furthermore, it is easier and faster to wash the duvetcover on a regular basis than the duvet itself. If you choose not to use a duvetcover, it is recommended to wash the duvet as the seasons change, which also has the effect of reducing the lifetime of your duvet.

We now have duvet cover in our online store section.

How big should be the duvetcover / how to choose the duvetcover?

The dimensions are always written on the duvetcover packaging to guide the client, but it may vary from one brand to another. Caution: the duvetcovers found in supermarkets are often too small. Make sure you choose a Queen oversized or King oversized duvetcover to allow the full width and length of your duvet to fit. Smaller duvetcovers can compress your duvet and make it less elegant.

A cover up to 3-4 inch smaller would be ok, but don’t go too much smaller  if you want to enjoy the fully comfort of our duvets. Smaller cover will always fit but it can change breathability and heat level.

Is a down duvet worth the price?

Yes, absolutely.

 Our duvet will last you many years and will stay voluminous, if well cared for and completetly dried after cold wash. On the other hand, a polyester comforter can become thinner and show areas lacking in insulation after a few years. Here is an interesting report about down duvet costs. (Unfortunately, it’s only available in french)

Do you have tips to place my Laduvet into my LN duvet cover?

  1. Pull the cover upside down and place it on your bed. Ribbons up. The zip to the foot of bed.
  2. Place the duvet on the duvet cover. The braids of the duvet must face the ribbon of the cover. Long  rectangular sections of the duvet help you to identify the right/left side of the bed.
  3. Attach the quilt to the cover by making a small loop.
  4. Flip the cover over on the right side by placing the quilt corners.
  5. Close the zip, stir a little.
  6. Admire, enjoy and have sweet dreams
