Extra Lightweight Duvet Insert

Light & warm grey bedding - These cooler colours can help make you feel cooler at night, giving you a more comfortable sleep.

Linen GSM - Linen is measured in GSM (grams per meter) and typically ranges from 100gsm to 200gsm. We use 150 GSM for our linen bedding range. We found lower GSM too thin and higher GSM too heavy and rough to the touch.

During Victorian times, the Eiderdown quilt or duvet became popular in Britain though they did not replace blankets which were much heavier and warmer for the Victorians.

According to Parachute, brushed cotton is 'ideal for people who love the classic look of percale but want something a little softer and cozier. The fabric also appeals to those who like sateen but prefer a slightly lighter material. Not too hot, not too cool, undeniably snuggly and lightweight with a tasteful appearance, brushed cotton bedding checks all the boxes, making it a top choice for year-round use'.

There are different varieties of cotton, as well as different quality levels. Two of the highest quality cottons are Egyptian and Pima/Supima cotton.Egyptian cottonis grown in Egypt, as the name suggests. Pima cotton is grown in the United States, although you might often see it referred to as “Supima,” as well. This is a portmanteau of “superior pima” and is a registered trademark of the Supima trade association, which promotes Pima cotton.
