Hotel Duvet Guide: Professional Secrets to Buying Luxury Bedding

If you've ever slipped between the sheets of a 5-star hotel bed and wondered why it feels impossibly perfect, you're not alone. There’s an indulgence to luxury hotel bedding that’s hard to replicate at home – until now. At Tielle, we’ve been supplying the UK’s leading hotels and interior designers with premium duvets, bed linen, and pillows for decades. From Ham Yard Hotel to The Langham, Grantley Hall, and The Pig hotels, our products lie at the heart of a perfect night’s sleep.

In this guide, we’ll share insider secrets to help you choose the right hotel-quality duvet for your home, understand tog ratings, select the right duvet filling, and learn how to care for your bedding like a pro.

Premium Duvet Materials in Luxury Hotels

Not all duvets are created equal. At the top hotels we work with, quality starts with carefully selected materials that balance softness, breathability, and longevity.

Most 5-star hotels favour natural, feather & down blends for their light, cloud-like feel. These duvets provide superior insulation without the weight. For allergy-conscious guests, premium microfibre duvets are often used—these mimic the feel of down while being hypoallergenic and easy to care for.
Tielle's duvets are rigorously tested in high-turnover, hotel environments, meaning they’re not only supremely comfortable but also built to last.

Tielle's luxury duvets can help you recreate that hotel feeling at home.

Seasonal Tog Ratings Explained

One of the most common questions we hear is: “What tog rating do I need?”

The answer: it depends on the season.

Title

Summer (4.5 tog or lower)

Light and breathable, perfect for warmer months

Title

Winter (10.5 – 13.5 tog)

Cosy and insulating for those chillier nights

Title

All-Season (9 – 10.5 tog)

The go-to choice for many luxury hotels, striking a balance that suits most guests year-round

For hotels and for homes, an all-season duvet is usually the perfect choice. But, if you’re someone who struggles to sleep in the heat, a summer duvet will undoubtedly help.

Choosing Hotel-Quality Duvets for Your Home

Bringing the hotel sleep experience home starts with making informed choices:

Pure Down: For a supremely soft, lofty feel. Look for responsibly sourced European goose down for the highest quality.
Feather & Down: Balances structure and breathability—a great all-rounder.
Microfibre: Ideal for allergy sufferers and a smart choice for children’s rooms or guest bedrooms.

Industry tip: Don’t forget the duvet casing—a high thread count cotton duvet casing makes a noticeable difference and helps regulate body temperature while you sleep.

Maintenance Tips for Long-Lasting Comfort

When you invest in a luxury duvet, protecting that investment is key:

As with a mattress, you should rotate your duvet regularly for even wear and tear.
Avoid sitting or placing heavy items on the bed for extended periods, as this can make the filling feel uneven.
Air your duvet regularly as this allows it to breathe. On laundry day, strip the bed in the morning and leave the duvet to air before putting clean sheets on the bed in the evening.
When not in use, always store your duvet in a breathable cotton bag—not plastic.
The sheer size of duvets makes them difficult to wash, so we recommend getting them professionally laundered.

Bonus tip: Give your duvet a good shake each morning to help it keep its shape and plumpness—just like they do in the best hotels.
