We had two in NZ- for winter we used a feather/down one with 100% cotton cover and as much down as we could afford (from Briscoes in sale) and in summer we had a really lightweight 100% cotton one, which was like sleeping under several sheets (also from Briscoes in sale). I really like using a top sheet under the thin cotton summer duvet but not under the feather one. Once you've slept under a decent quality (don't skimp on quality) feather duvet you will never go back.

PS for the desktop pic I think your husband should be sleeping in the laundry.

oooh, very nice - is the sizing the same? Don't suppose it matters, you can always order the cover from them too if it isn't.

MrsFychan

we've had a few problems with covers over here fitting our UK duvets so yes have bought covers for them as well

Really hate to spoil the fun but could I ask if anyone has imported feather duvets in their container?

I am assuming that because they contain feathers, they will require MAFF inspection?

MrsFychan

ours are and came over all well and good. packers never asked what they were filled with. plus if they can't come over in container I doubt they would let them be posted

I think it was just the head on top that made it look surreal [to steal Snap Shot's word!] and I couldn't quite work out how it went together...

Maybe you could buy him something like this just to emphasise the point

Sorry to inflict this 'sight' on you lovely ladies And this is NOT Mr S in case you were wondering!!

Larryloo

Thanks! Just reading the info and feathers do have to be declared in the manifest but I'll leave it up to the packers to sort that one out.

Of course if its a bit cold at night, the wife soon starts to rug up

MrsFychan

unfortunately Persephone he would wear that at a drop of a hat.

Catchafire - like your wife's style how does she keep the hair off her toes though?

BEVS

Yes

No.





...and I just double check the sizing when buying covers here. No probs

Someone seems to shave their feet.

Mr BEVS has the same look but in fetching shades of blonde and grey

Good on you lass. I get most of my bedding from Marks. I've been disappointed with the stuff I've bought over here.

I wasn't sure that they would post a feather duvet to NZ, so I was pleasantly surprised when it wasn't an issue for Marks or NZ customs.


I'm not commentating on the pics as I'm now emotionally disturbed by them & have booked in for some therapy!

I think they sterilise feathers when making duvets- or they go through some sort of cleaning process.
