Lesley Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I ordered 2 singles for our superking bed the other day and I can assure you there is absolutely no chemical smell! I was expecting to have to leave them to air for a week or so as any smells like that will trigger a migraine for me.....we used them the same night as delivery. The cotton cover is crackly - I mentioned to Anne it was like settling down in cardboard city The second night was quieter! and Anne says the noise doesn't last long. OH loves his - I'm still getting used to the lightness of mine - I'm used to my synthetic one enveloping me like a big marshmallow and this one doesn't. I have been warm and toasty AND I haven't been throwing it off in the middle of the night as I usually do We aspire to a Devon Duvet but the cost was prohibitive - and the Fogarty ones from Dawsons were half price. I ordered thursday evening and they were despatched on Friday with a delivery day of Monday. I checked online on Monday morning and the parcel was loaded at Banbury at 6.30 but not showing a 1 hour delivery slot. OH had to drop me off at my sister's for 8.30 so I stuck a signed note on the front door and hoped delivery would be later.........he was back by 9am and the parcel was in the porch. They had sent an email at 8.31 saying delivery would be between 8.34 and 9.34. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Stupid question- wool jumpers make me itch would this have the same effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Stupid question- wool jumpers make me itch would this have the same effect? The wools encased in a cotton cover on mine and then there's the duvet cover so I wouldn't have thought so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I don't think so - the cotton cover is good quality and a very heavy weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Dawsons have emailed me to say quilt will arrive in the morning. That is a fab service i only ordered on line last night, lucky i am not going out in the morning.....( WIR is coming at lunch time, with two nice men to put it together for me and attatch cube to the outside of run ) So not only will my little chickies have a nice new home ,but i will have a snug bed too...Yeah Oh!! the wool duvet was recommended to me by my Rheumatologist.

Blackrocksrock Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I keep wondering about wool pillows as well but do love my memory foam one. Must have alert - I have the pillows AND the mattress protector - there are no dust mites in woolen duvets either!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I have also made a purchase Two king sized duvets on their way Thanks Anne for providing the Dawsons link, they do not show up on any searches as being the cheapest place to buy the Fogarty ones. I might get a wool pillow too, but Tesco direct was cheapest for those and I can have it delivered to the store near work for free. No rush there, but the duvets, especially the king sized ones, are selling out everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if it's the Omlet effect that's making them sell out - lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..lay a little egg for me Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I am very interested in getting a woollen duvet as I struggle to be at the right temperature under my down and feather one due to hot flushes. All the info I can find seems to compare wool with synthetic. Has anyone on here swapped to a wool duvet from a down one, and what do you think of it? Also, I see there are different weights. The ones from Dawsons are Fogarty ones that are 360 gsm, but one can also get 400, 450 and 500 gsm duvets from other websites. We rarely have any heating on at home and the bedrooms are very cold in winter, would the Fogarty one be warm enough do you think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the Fogarty one and have had it since the end of May. I'm not at the hot flushes stage yet but we used to overheat in bed as DH can get very hot. Also, I know we didn't have the predicted heatwave this year but it wasn't hot over the summer which was one concern. As for keeping warm, well we never have the heating on in our bedroom overnight or in the morning and so far we've not been cold either. Hope that helps a bit.

We are in the frozen North - north east scotland home of snow and frost for ever = we sleep with windows open at night all year and have the 450g one which is really great and not cold at all. I keep a very thin slim one for summer heatwaves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I might just have to check out Lesley's next time I am over there. Are they heavy at all? I assume that they are heavy like old woollen blankets, but may well be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Not at all heavy - would say same as feather and down duvets as far as I remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Definately not heavy. I was expecting it to be ie lay down, put duvet over and not be able to move-lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 No, they're light as a feather......that's what I'm still getting used to. I like to be weighed down by the duvet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I'm the opposite, I like it to be light and can't bear sheets and blankets. I love winter when I have my fluffy feather and down duvet on. I'll talk to you about yours on Saturday Lesley and see what I think.
