Wool vs down duvets − what's the difference and which should you choose?

Wool vs down duvets: the debate rages on. Where wool lies thin and flat, down is light and fluffy. Feathers tend to trap heat and make great winter warmers, where wool is a natural thermoregulator. Which duvet type is best for you depends on a number of factors, including whether you run hot or cold and whether you live in a warm or cool climate.

As the resident Sleep Editor at Homes & Gardens, I lead a team of expert testers in the search to find the world's best duvet inserts. Together, we've tested everything from light and fluffy down duvets to moisture-wicking wool inserts. I've combed through our back catalog of reviews to bring you the best of both materials.
