Duvets

I am after a 4.5 tog, king size pure or mainly down duvet that doesn't cost the best part of £200, I've looked at the usual John Lewis, M & S etc - can anyone suggest anywhere else

    We were looking at a down duvet, but changed our mind when we felt a microfibre one - they are really great and in my opinion are better than down. We bought ours from http://www.duvetandpillowwarehouse.co.uk/products/duvets/duvet_micro.html
    as an example, I would suggest going into a department store and feeling one, they are soft and light and we currently have a 4.5 tog one on our bed (we bought the all seasons) and it is absolutely perfect.

    We bought our daughter one from Ikea - it's lovely. Where do you get a £200 price tag from? We bought a kingsize Fogarty goose down duvet from TK Maxx for about £35.

    I got a pure down duvet from Costco for £45 for a double size. They had single & king size too but don't remember the price.

    Debenhams have nice Duvets usually, good quality. I believe their sale has just started too.

    TBH I would see what is around in July once all the sales have started, if you can wait 3 or 4 weeks.

    I searched high & low to get a down 4.5 tog (easy in higher togs), anyway what I did was bought a summer/winter 3 in 1 type thing.
    Its a 9.5 tog for use in the spring & autum
    A 4.5 for the summer
    Then they attach together with velcro for the winter.
    I never use them together (as I have the heating too high in the winter).

    So if you can't find a 4.5 real one, you get a 4.5 in those double quilt packs.

    It was about £140

    I just looked on the Ikea website, they got a 3 in 1 that has a 4.5 tog in £89.99 for a king. Not bad. I know where I will go next time:beer:

    I seem to think Ikea's sizes for bedding aren't necessarily standard - check the details in case it won't fit your duvet cover.
