Too hot, too cold, never right? From microfibre to British wool, sustainable down to dual-tog designs, these are the duvets worth cosying up to • The best mattresses, tested At alarm o’clock on a January morning, any duvet will feel like heaven: anything’s better than having to haul myself out into the freezing dark.
There’s no need to go to the extreme, though: find the best duvet for you and you’ll sleep so well that you’ll rise with a spring in your step and a smile on your face. You probably don’t need a scientific study to tell you that you feel more refreshed the morning after a good night’s sleep, though there’s plenty of research demonstrating just that.
A duvet that helps you sleep better will improve your days as well as your nights. The key is to find one that hits the perfect balance between warmth, weight and breathability for you and your sleep style.
