Re: Duvets - autumn/summer weight
Thanks for the info. We may be in the Bournemouth area, Hampshire or Eastbourne. Not sure as yet, but it should be warmer on the south coast!
I will check out John Lewis and Waitrose which is part of them and some stores have linens,furnishing etc. Also will check out Argos and others.
Yes, I prefer the goose down I think rather than synthetic.
Thanks a lot folks.

Re: Duvets - autumn/summer weight
Next winter we expect to be in UK for 6 months or so down on the south coast. On our visit in September we found that everybody has duvets as opposed to comforters in Canada/USA.
I recently read about the different type of duvets for weight. There is summer, autumn and the heavier one for winter. We will probably have to get a duvet and I am wondering whether to get an autumn weight or if summer weight would be too lightweight.
Also are they mostly the down type or is there synthetic filling. We prefer the down and what should I expect to pay for a King size (Queen over here)
Any opinions would be welcome.

I brought my duvets with me to Canada - bought from a department store in the UK, long before we came here. It's one with two layers which can be separated in summer, then clipped together (press studs on each corner) for winter. Much more effective here in Canada than I thought it would be. It's fibre filled - the down was more than my budget allowed. Have a look at www.argos.co.uk
Enjoy your stay...

All sorts, all prices - look at the tog rating but in the end it's personal choice. I have two winter weight duvets all year round....
