Familon's tips for choosing a warm winter duvet
You can't sleep if you're cold at night – on the other hand, even a good mattress feels sweaty if you sleep on it with the wrong kind of duvet.
Fortunately, in Finland we can still enjoy the seasonal variations. If the cooling weather also affects the indoor temperature of your home, you should switch to a warmer winter duvet.
Our bodies produce moisture and heat throughout the night. If the microclimate between the mattress and your duvet doesn't work, its relative humidity can rise above 80%, making your body sweat uncomfortably.
A good duvet is suitably warm throughout the night and feels comfy. Your individual need for heat and the indoor temperature determine what kind of duvet you need.
Looking for a new sleep buddy for cooler nights?

Enjoy luxury down responsibly
Familon down products only use traceable RDS-certified down and feather. The Responsible Down Standard, a voluntary, global standard to ensure best practices for down and feather, guarantees the ethical origin and traceability of materials. RDS-certified down and feathers can be traced all the way to the farm that bred the animals, and the certification ensures that the general welfare of the animals has been taken care of throughout the production chain.

Make the most of the winter cold and let the duvets freshen up outdoors
To make every night feel like a first night in new comfort, remember to service your duvet regularly. If the duvet is not yet in need of washing, airing in fresh outdoor air is sufficient. Airing will refresh the duvet even when it's not freezing, but temperatures below -20 degrees Celsius will also kill dust mites in 24 hours. If the duvet doesn't get fresh with airing and feels dirty, it's time to wash it.
Always store your duvet clean
When you put your summer duvet in storage for the winter, you should wash it before storing it. This way, you will have a clean and fresh duvet in the spring. To clean bedding thoroughly, it must be washed at a sufficiently high temperature, which is why high-quality Familon duvets and pillows can be machine washed at 60 °C.

Have a nice and warm winter sleep!
