The duvet is one of the elements of our bedding that helps us sleep by keeping us warm. Among the synthetic duvets, we find microfiber duvets which are very appreciated for their lightness and their easy-going side. Some explanations.
What is a microfiber comforter?
The microfiber duvet is a product whose filling consists of 100% polyester fiber. This is a material with interesting qualities since it is warm, light, breathable and hypoallergenic. It also has the advantage of quickly wicking away moisture and drying quickly. Finally, it does not require ironing. If you want to keep your duvet for a long time and benefit from all these benefits, you will however need to make sure to choose a quality microfiber product.
Why choose a microfiber duvet?
Duvets filled with high-end microfiber offer many advantages:
-
Previously, synthetic duvets often seemed heavier than natural duvets . This is no longer the case today thanks to microfiber.
-
As they are very soft and fluffy, these duvets give sleepers the impression of being in a real cozy little nest.
-
Microfiber is an hypoallergenic material, which is not the case for feathers and down. If you suffer from asthma, for example, microfiber filling is an ideal solution.
-
This is a particularly easy-care material since you simply put it in the washing machine at 40°C, selecting a spin cycle at 800 rpm. This way, it will be practically dry when it comes out of the machine and you will only have to hang it out a little in the open air.
-
In terms of price, the product is affordable, even when stuffed with high-quality microfiber.
-
The material retains its properties for several years, so it is durable.
Using what criteria should you choose a microfiber duvet?
Several criteria must be taken into account when purchasing:
-
Opt for a blown (rather than fitted) duvet. In fact, with the soufflé technique, the filling is distributed by hand and is therefore more fluffy and more homogeneous. If you choose a topped duvet, the filling will be distributed by machine.
-
Pay attention to the product casing and ensure that it is made of tightly woven fabric.
-
Even if you have a limited budget, avoid low-end microfiber products which may not last long.
Who are microfiber duvets for?
If you are still hesitating between a natural duvet and a synthetic duvet, here are some arguments that could help you finalize your choice. This type of duvet is particularly suitable for people who often feel too hot and tend to sweat at night. It will also suit you very well if you are prone to respiratory allergies or if you are looking for a light duvet , because you do not like feeling a feeling of weight on you. Finally, it is a product with excellent value for money and is particularly easy to maintain.
How to choose the right size duvet?
To sleep in ideal comfort conditions, your duvet must extend sufficiently beyond each side of your bed. We generally recommend an overhang of 40 cm, but it can be greater, especially if the sleeper(s) are large or move around a lot during the night. For example, for a 160 x 200 cm bed, you can choose a 260 x 240 cm duvet which will leave you with an overhang of 50 cm. This will allow you to turn around without your partner finding themselves completely uncovered.
What pieces should you combine your microfiber duvet with?
Once you have chosen your microfiber duvet, you will need to find the other elements making up your bed set: fitted sheets, duvet covers , pillowcases, etc. Bonsoirs offers you a selection of quality bed linen, made in materials such as cotton satin, cotton gauze, washed linen or cotton percale. You can also find a range of duvets and pillows as well as protections allowing you to benefit from a bed that is both comfortable and stylish.
