Win an all-seasons duvet
Two to give away, or buy from our shop and save up to £190
These ingenious duvets consist of one 9-tog duvet, ideal for spring or autumn, and one 4.5-tog duvet that is perfect for summer. They button together to give 13.5-tog warmth, to keep you snug and cosy even in the depths of winter.
The feather-proof 100 per cent cotton cambric covers are filled with light, soft white duck feather and down*, which should last much longer than similarly priced man-made fibre fillings, while the clever quilt design prevents bunching. And the duvets are guaranteed for 10 years.
Also available are blissfully soft pillow sets, again filled with duck feather and down. Give yourself a touch of luxury for spring with this great-value bedding.
