We've got three reasons for celebrating at Devon Duvets. The first two reasons are being given one award for our lightweight wool duvet and another for our 100% plant-based Botanic ultralight duvet. The third is our Botanic range being the only product range of its type to have been granted registration by the Vegan Society. Read on to find out more.

In today’s busy and full-on world, there is an increasing number of people who struggle to get a good night’s sleep. According to a report from the Mental Health Foundation, up to a third of adults in the UK suffer from insomnia, either in the short term or for longer. It is no surprise, therefore, that results from a recent survey show that 95% of those with insomnia have difficulty in staying awake during daylight hours, ultimately impacting on their work and personal life.

A mattress protector is an item of removable bedding that sits on top of your mattress. It provides a layer of protection for the mattress in case of accidents or spills - and it’s worth bearing in mind that some mattress warranties are voided should the mattress become stained. The other benefit is that a mattress protector can help those that suffer from allergies and, in particular, those susceptible to allergens caused by dust mites.

Most of us are likely to be affected by poor sleep at one point or another in our lives and we all know that a bad night’s sleep will impact on how we live, work and react during the day. There are many reasons as to why we can suffer from disruptive sleep patterns, including stress, changes in body temperature (not always the fault of the menopause!) and allergies. 

Menopause is something that all women have to deal with at one point or another and lack of sleep caused by night sweats can leave us feeling exhausted and drained. As the temperature rises during the summer months, it can exacerbate the feeling of discomfort and general clamminess.

It sounds impossible but it isn’t…thanks to a pioneering fibre manufacturing process that’s enabled our expert seamstresses in our Devon workshops to create a natural, 100% sustainable product that’s made from trees.

Allergies affect around 21 million people in the UK, with many of those that suffer from them saying that it gets worse in their bedroom and impacts on their sleep. This is usually because of dust mites, and there's nothing they like more than damp humid conditions in your bed. Read our blog to find out how our beautiful British wool bedding can help achieve a more hygienic and restful sleep.

From humble beginnings on our Dartmoor farm, we now proudly produce over 60,000 British wool duvets annually, handcrafted in Devon, embodying sustainability and quality, as we continue to champion British wool and provide employment opportunities.

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.
