Is a wool duvet suitable for people who sweat?
A wool duvet is very suitable for people who sweat, as wool can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture without feeling wet. This creates a dry and comfortable sleeping environment. As a result, you are less likely to wake up clammy and your bed stays fresh longer.

Is a wool duvet warm enough in winter?
A wool duvet is certainly warm enough in winter, as wool retains heat well and adapts to your body temperature. At the same time, it prevents overheating by dissipating excess heat. For cold nights, a winter duvet or 4-season duvet is the best choice.

A wool duvet stays fresh longer because wool naturally contains lanolin and has an open fiber structure that effectively regulates moisture and heat. This reduces the chance for bacteria to develop, which in turn diminishes odor formation. Additionally, wool absorbs moisture without feeling damp, creating a dry and comfortable sleeping environment.

A wool duvet can last on average between 10 and 20 years, depending on the quality of the wool, its maintenance, and how intensively the duvet is used. To extend its lifespan, it is important to 'open up' the duvet daily so that absorbed moisture can evaporate properly. Furthermore, we recommend airing the wool duvet outside occasionally; this helps the wool retain its natural crimp.

The difference lies in the quality of the ticking; this varies from standard cotton to cotton sateen. The Exquisiet duvet, however, has a different filling; for this type, the summer duvet is filled with a mix of wool and wild silk. The quality of the sheep's wool is the same for all types of duvets.
- Texelana Standard has a ticking made of 100% cotton. This duvet is available as a four-season version.
- Texelana Excellent has a percale cotton ticking. This duvet is available as a four-season duvet, but also as separate summer, spring/autumn, or winter parts.
