Goose down duvets are widely regarded as the most luxurious duvets available. This is simply because the large, lofty clusters of goose down trap more air than feather based fillings. These duvets therefore feel wonderfully warm, whilst being incredibly lightweight.

If you suffer from bedding allergies, then an more appropriate choice would be a hypoallergenic duvet, filled with either clusters of polyester fibre, silk, or a blend of both silk and polyester, eg the Silksoft duvet from The Fine Bedding Company.
