I bought this for my brother who is disabled so the duvet needs to be washed often , his ca4e4s put it on his bed and remarked to me how warm it seemed , however later it needed washed and it wouldn't fit into an ordinary washing machine , so had to go to the laundrett ,£12 50 to be washed and dried i should have asked before I bought it so my fault , but a smashing warm duvet , my brother was toasty warm while he did use it , have another now that is totally washable .
