Stinky Duvet

Hello,
I bought a duck feather duvet from Amazon. The problem is its smell: it stinks of farm. Should I return it or it is this smell will run out with the time?
Cheers

  • Hi there

    I bought feather pillows once and, although I could cope with the smell, it was annoying. But, when I WASHED the pillows MY GOODNESS the smell was horrendous. I think you should send it back.

  • The duvet just needs airing for a few days.

    Our feather duvet smelled for years - it smelled less and less over time (plus we got used to it...) but it certainly didn't go after a few days. I only buy synthetic ones these days.
