The White Company Super-Soft Ultra Wash Duvet review
Fantastic. Available in 4.5, 7.5 and 10.5 togs. I've now bought three!
This is a great choice duvet from a top notch retailer. It feels incredibly soft, and very, very light. I’m always a bit dubious about marketing but this duvet really does live up to its claim – it is ‘super soft’. Despite its lightness it still packs a punch with warmth – the 7.5 tog is on my daughter’s bed and she says it feels like sleeping in warm marshmallows. Apparently, that’s a good thing 😉
Is it also ‘ultra-washable’?
This test meant ripping it off my teenager and giving her an alternative synthetic duvet whilst it was being washed – she wasn’t happy with the replacement. I promised to wash it quickly and hoped the silky-soft feel wasn’t lost.
Washing at 60 degrees means you kill dust mites. So I tried it at 60 degrees, plus a cool tumble-dry as per the label, and so far so good – still very soft and very light. A little less fluffy but I’d say definitely washable. This is a massive plus over a lot of other synthetic duvets which aren’t have to be washed at a cooler temperature and can’t then kill all the dust mites and can’t keep allergies at bay.
I spent twice as much on a ‘feels like down’ duvet for the guest bed recently, but I wish I’d bought this one. There’s no rustling, and its cloud-like filling feels more like down than any other polyester duvet I’ve tried.
If it had a cotton cover, it would be my all-time favourite synthetic duvet; it doesn’t but in fairness the checked cover feels like cotton, and for the price from The White Company, it has to be 5 star.
Sizes available – Single, Double, King and Super-King sizes
