The words "duvet" and "summer" are not contradictory — far from it! When temperatures rise but we still love to spend our nights well covered, there are types of duvets perfectly suited to temperatures above 24°C. The best solution is to opt for a summer duvet with a lightweight natural down filling. Here is how to choose your duvet for the summer season.
A summer duvet: for whom? and why?
Many of us are in the habit of wanting to breathe on summer nights by leaving the window open, and of keeping only the minimum of layers on us so that body temperature drops and allows for a good night's sleep. To feel comfortable, we also like to be covered while maintaining a good temperature throughout the night. In order to avoid excessive perspiration, we turn to bed linen made from natural fibres such as linen or cotton, which have excellent breathable properties. All our naturally filled duvets feature a cotton cover to guarantee you optimal comfort. Furthermore, the natural goose or duck down filling has excellent thermoregulating properties while remaining breathable, unlike synthetic materials. Pyrenex offers a full range of duvets for summer or mid-season use, when your bedroom is not heated.
Which duvet for summer, and which weight to choose?
With their cotton covers and breathable filling, our summer duvet collection is available in several styles: some feature ultra-lightweight, supple and fine covers such as our exceptional nano-batiste cotton, extra soft and smooth like our satin, or highly breathable and quick-drying like our cotton percale, also available in an organic version. All these covers with superb finishes are filled with Pyrenex down, the fruit of an unrivalled expertise passed down from generation to generation. Various weights (depending on the style) are available, from ultra-lightweight to lightweight: 60 g/m², 80 g/m², 100 g/m² and 120 g/m². The ultra-lightweight options up to 100 g/m² are best suited for the hottest nights when your bedroom temperature exceeds 24°C, while the 120 g/m² weight can be used in mid-season or if you prefer a little more filling weight for cool summer nights or when using air conditioning.
The combinable duvet: a smart and responsible purchase
Our breathable and lightweight summer duvets are made in France at our Saint-Sever workshop. Among these made-in-France summer duvets, we offer the combinable duvet ranges Papeete and Moorea, fitted with press studs to allow for clever combining. To use your ultra-lightweight summer duvets all year round, you can indeed layer two duvets from the same range with different weights. You then obtain a new two-in-one duvet to use in winter and mid-season, when temperatures are still cool.
This ability to modulate your comfort and insulation will allow you to keep quality products throughout the year, and for a long time to come! The durability of our duvets is exemplary — they are also guaranteed for 5 years under normal use. In the event of an accident such as a tear or a stitching issue, we offer an after-sales service that is attentive to your needs, enabling you to get prolonged use from your items.
