Soft, sustainable & duck-friendly: panda bamboo duvets
A good duvet can make all the difference to a comfortable night’s sleep, but increasingly, we’re thinking about more than just warmth and softness when choosing bedding. The materials used, the environmental impact and the treatment of animals can all influence our purchasing decisions.
Panda Bamboo Duvets are not just comfortable and sustainable, but free from feathers, so kind to ducks (and geese) and anyone with allergies.
Eider ducks are native to Iceland, and although fallen feathers are collected without harm, only a few tonnes are collected each year (other ‘eider down’ is likely from factory-farmed geese).
These thermo-regulating duvets (all sold with 5-year guarantees) are warm in winter and cool in summer.
Choose from:
- 10.5 tog for year-round cosy comfort, with sewn-through pockets.
- 4.5 tog summer duvet (good for ‘hot sleepers’)
- Children’s duvet for year-round comfort
Panda Memory Foam Bamboo Pillows are super-comfortable and with orthopaedic grade support and amazing airflow. Enjoy free delivery, a free 30-night risk-free trial and a 10-year guarantee.
Designed to naturally contour all sleeping positions for perfect alignment, these are suitable for front, back or slide sleepers.
For children over two, there are pillow options.
Panda bamboo bedding sets are comfortable and breathable, sold in an array of beautiful designs and colours. The bedding sets include blends of bamboo and linen (very comfortable and breathable).
Hidden straps attach to corner loops, so even wriggly sleepers will see duvets stay put. And even the buttons are made from bamboo (no plastic). The sets are sold in beautiful presentation cases, for easy storage.
Organic bedding is free from fire-retardant chemicals, so (as with everyone): avoid smoking, candles, overloading plugs (don’t leave phones or laptops on beds) and avoid convector heaters.
Safe sleeping for babies
- Never use cot bumpers, and avoid pillows (some say up to age two).
- Lullaby Trust has info on sleeping for babies (avoid overheating with clothes, hats or blankets etc – read more on safe nurseries).
- One lightweight blanket doubled over counts as two (this could increase overheating). Air trapped between layers increases warmth.
- The trust recommends indoor temperatures between 16°C and 20°C. Check a baby’s temperature on the chest or back.
