FAQs about Long-lasting Duvets & Pillows
What size duvet should I get for a king-size bed?
For a king-size bed, a king-size duvet (225 x 220 cm) is your best bet. If you like a bit of extra coverage - ideal for sharing or winter nights - you could go up to a super king duvet at 260 x 220 cm. It’ll hang over the sides more generously, which looks lovely and helps keep draughts out. Just double-check your duvet cover size and make sure it won’t swamp the room.
Can head lice or nits live in bedding?
Head lice and nits can’t live long in bedding - they need a scalp to survive, and won’t last more than 24–48 hours without one. Still, it’s sensible to wash all bedding at 60°C during an outbreak, just in case. Duvets and pillows are unlikely hosts, but laundering them adds peace of mind. Regular washing helps long-lasting bedding stay fresh and hygienic too.
How often should I wash my duvet and pillows?
Even the most durable duvet and pillow sets should be washed at least twice a year. If you’ve got allergies or tend to overheat, every 3–4 months is better. Always follow the care label, especially for wool or feather fillings. Use a large-capacity washer if needed, and air them out between washes. Top-quality duvets can last 10 years, and pillows around 3, with a bit of TLC.
What is the best long-lasting duvet and pillow set?
The best long-lasting duvet and pillow sets are made from breathable natural materials like wool, down, or organic cotton. Look for high fill power, sturdy stitching, and washability. Wool duvets are especially durable and naturally temperature-regulating. Many top brands offer 5-year guarantees or more. For design picks that go the distance, see our research process page.
How do you care for natural-fibre bedding to make it last longer?
To care for natural-fibre bedding and make it last longer, air it regularly, spot-clean spills, and store it in a breathable cotton bag - not plastic. Some duvets or pillows may need specialist cleaning, so always read the label. Washing too often can wear out fibres, so stick to gentle detergents and do it sparingly. With the right upkeep, these quality items can last over a decade.
What type of bedding does a hotel like Premier Inn use?
A hotel like Premier Inn typically uses synthetic-filled duvets and pillows with medium firmness. These are practical for frequent washes and suit most guests, but they’re not usually built for long-term comfort. At home, natural materials like wool or down are comfier, more breathable, and far kinder on the planet - and they age better too.
Where can I donate old duvets and pillows responsibly?
You can donate old duvets and pillows responsibly through animal shelters, local charities, or textile recycling points. Many pet rescues love clean, soft bedding for lining crates. If they’re too worn out for reuse, councils often accept them at textile recycling drop-offs. Always check first - no one wants surprises in the donations pile.
