Another vote for Baavet here; we have three in the house. I've had mine for 3 years, a lightweight one that does me all year round. OH has a heavyweight, being a Cold Mortal at night, and DD1 a medium-weight. All much loved, and considered money very well spent after years of constantly replacing nasty disintegrating polyester ones, which started off reasonably warm then went downhill. DS3 prefers feather & down, which we also own a number of, and DD2 has - everything! 3 duvets on her bed last seen, one of them a 4-season feather one, two thick old wool blankets and a number of fleece blankets. She's not taking any chances with our resident drafts...
I did wonder whether the sheepy smell might disturb OH to start with; DD1 & I are both spinners & the smell of fleece is a delight to us (although I too can't wear wool next to my skin) but we do know that not everyone greets it with glee. However I think he's accustomed to mine & never even noticed it.

Thriftwizard, wasn't it you who bought my new Baavet when the smell wouldn't go? What a pity for me thst I could never get used to the sheep aroma, but glad it went to a good home! It is so well made, I was really sad to let it go but I could not have used it.
Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).
