SlumberdownWonderful Wool King Size Duvet - Temperature Regulating 7-9 Tog Mediumweight All Year Round Quilt - 100% British Wool, Soft Cotton Cover, Hypoallergenic, Easy Care, Size (225cm x 220cm)

Cannot rate this duvet highly enough.We needed a new duvet so I looked around for something that would be good all year round. Came across this wool one and thought I’d give it a go despite some reviews mentioning the initial odour. Can’t deny that out of the packaging it has a farmyard/cut grass aroma, but after a couple of days airing that completely disappears. Then after that, this duvet is the most wonderful, cosy, not too hot duvet you will ever have. The wool gives the duvet a little ‘weight’, which as we know from the increase in sales of weighted blankets is a good thing. But even more extraordinary is the experience of having a duvet that never moves yet remains completely comfortable, never needs shaking in the morning, just pulling straight. It’s almost miraculous!In summary, extremely comfortable, warm but not too hot, weighted but not too heavy. Expect some of the best sleep of your life! And if you’re tired of having to shake a duvet straight every day, this is the one for you! LOVE IT!

The things we do for our loved ones, right? Here I am, a happily married man plodding his way through life and kipping each night under a comfortable duvet when my wife says "we should get a wool filled duvet". What? Why on earth would I want a wool filled duvet? I run hot during the winter for goodness sake the last thing I need is to be essentially wearing a woolen jumper to bed everyday! "Oh, but wool keeps you cool and warm" says the wife. Yes, of course it does I think... But guess what... I still buy one!I am glad I did!As I write this we've had some chilly weather in blighty and I have slept like a log, comfortable, warm but not hot and haven't woken up feeling like I've been sweating more than I do when thinking about paying the utility bills!The duvet itself has good a decent weight to it, enough to notice but not enough to feel like it is too much. There is a thickness to it which provides a great look when plumped up in a cover and feels generally well made. Our previous duvet was man-made-fiber and had moved within the cover, this is stitched in such a way that leads me to believe that shouldn't be an issue. Both my wife and I are very pleased to have swapped to a wool duvet, it warms up much quicker and offers a far better sleep then before, the best thing being that my wife, who usually runs cold, no longer feels the need to put cold feet on me to warm up - the duvet is doing it for me!The only downsides would be that, with it being a naturally filling, you will notice the smell of sheep on the duvet for a day or two, this is solved easily by airing it outside of hanging it up in a garage - personally, we weren't bother by it but some might be. The other being the noise the duvet makes, when new it can sound like a crisp packet being ruffled, again we didn't find it an issue and it never disturbed our sleep, we have found that after a week or two it has settled and put this down to the cover becoming softer over time, give it a good shake each day and it'll improve.In summary, I won't go back to another type of duvet, whilst I am yet to try this during summer temperatures, having gone back to a poly-filled duvet for a night when away for work, the different is incredible and one that is difficult to describe unless you try it yourself, you to may be as surprised as I am! I might even get an extra one for the guest bedroom for when the misses is snoring and I need some peace...

I’m so happy with my duvet, I’ve had the best sleep since using it. Haven’t had any issues with wool smell or rustling sound mentioned by other reviewers. Just feel super toasty without being too hot, and feel gently cocooned by the heavyweight option I chose. Have been recommending to everyone as a cosy and better animal-welfare option than feather and down (live plucking? gross), and still a sustainable material but without the high bamboo price tag. Wool pillows felt like they’d be too firm when I unpacked them but they’re also really comfy and as they’re quite thick I’m only using one for sleep - and I’m no longer waking up with a cricked neck. I am one delighted and comfortable middle aged lady ;)

On Amazon, the TOG rating for a heavyweight quilt is shown as 10-14. Why such wide variation? I decided to take a chance. On arrival, the literature indicates TOG 10-12. So, suddenly it's dropped 2 TOG. This is unacceptable variation. A difference of 4 togs could be a difference big enough to make it inadequate for winter. A 2 tog difference also makes me question quality control. I've not seen other quilts with such variation. They're specific about tog rating. Also, if you take a chance, as I did, the quilt was so tightly packed, there's no way I'd be able to get it back in the packing.I bought as the price seemed competitive. It's ok now, in November, even comfortable, but I have a cold house so we will see if it's enough in colder months. Someone I know has just got a single heavyweight one. Subjectively, that appears thinner and lower density/weight per sq foot than my one. Again, that makes me question quality control and consistency.It seems to be pure wool and 100% cotton cover which is good. The edges of my one are messily finished. If you want to try and the price is right, give it a go but keep in mind the wide potential variation in TOG and the difficulty you'll have repackaging for return.It does have a wool smell from new. Doesn't bother me and even comforting, but some seem to have issues with this.I've marked 2 stars as I'm not happy with the uncertain TOG and the seller needs to sort this. I wanted a 14 rating and just don't know that's true. If it's not enough for winter, I won't be happy having to put my old quilt back on after spending on this new one.UPDATE-- Had quilt over a year. My initial frustration over quality control led to a 2 star review. While my earlier thoughts hold true, I'm upping my mark to 4 star because the duvet has been so nice in use. It's kept me warm in winter and the extra weight of a wooden quilt is really comforting compared to a feather one. This and a good heated blanket has made going to bed in winter something to look forward to. Very happy with the purchase as it's turned out and would recommend with the caveat over QC
