Devon Duvets Blog

We are all in a position to make conscious purchases and you are probably visiting our website, not just because you would love a good night's sleep (and our duvets certainly help achieve that) but because you also want to make an environmentally responsible choice.                                          

At Devon Duvets, we are constantly looking at ways to improve our impact on the environment and we achieve this, not just in how we source our raw materials such as wool and cotton, but also how we use materials for packaging.  Although we have always used recycled cardboard to FSC controlled standards for our boxes, we now use biodegradable packaging inside of the cardboard to keep the duvet safe and hygienic.  Therefore, whilst we expect our duvets to last a long time (albeit that they are also biodegradable) our packaging won't be hanging around causing damage to the world in years to come!              

When we first had the idea to make wool duvets more than 10 years ago, we visualised making just a few of them from our farm on Dartmoor.  This is what we told Monty Don when we filmed his series 'My Dream Farm' and he said this would be only the beginning of our journey - how right he was!   

From those first wool duvets, made using wool from our own sheep, we now purchase more than 60,000 prime British fleeces a year and employ more than 15 people.  It was and continues to be important to us that we make natural, sustainable products using only the very best quality materials.  Each duvet, mattress topper and pillow is individually handcrafted in our own Devon workshops and we are very proud that we make an honest British Product.    

So many people have discovered that sleeping under our duvets is a wonderful experience and it is these people who make it possible for us to champion British wool, employ

If you are looking for that special gift for Christmas, we may be able to help.    

A Devon Duvets handcrafted product is a very special gift but often it is difficult to know which size to choose when purchasing a duvet, mattress topper or pillow for somebody else.    

We have developed a luxury boxed gift voucher that is a delightful gift by itself and takes away the difficulty of not knowing which size to choose.  Let your loved one choose for themselves and enjoy the thrill of knowing they have a voucher to spend on products for themselves.        

In each boxed gift voucher, we are including a lovely Pure Linen and English Lavender Wardrobe Sachet to make the gift just that little bit more special.    

The gift voucher can be used either online or by telephone.
