Our selection of duvets and pillows is extensive and caters for most people's needs. Depending on the model, we offer an extended guarantee of between 3 and 10 years on most duvets. For instance, if the ticking, which is the fabric surrounding the duvet or pillow filling, becomes loose, all you have to do is take the duvet or cushion to your local JYSK store and we will find a solution. Below are some simple tips for keeping your duvet and pillow in tip-top condition for many years:
| - Duvets and pillows should be shaken every day to retain the shape of the filling and resilience of the down or feathers. - Avoid vacuuming or beating the duvet as this may damage the down or feathers. If the duvet is machine washable, follow the instructions carefully and make sure it is completely dry before using it again. - The bedroom should be aired properly each day and a bedspread should not be placed over the duvet until a couple of hours afterwards. This allows moisture to evaporate and keeps the duvet airy and fresh. | ![]() |
- If you place a bedspread over the bed, the duvet or pillow may be compressed slightly due to moisture filling the air holes. To get the down or feathers to stand up again, you can tumble-dry the duvet or pillow for a couple of hours, possibly with a tennis ball or rubber shoe in the machine to make sure the down or feathers get thrown around properly. It's a good idea to take the duvet and pillow out of the dryer every fifteen minutes and give them a shake.
![]() | Down Down comes from aquatic birds like ducks and geese. Down primarily functions as an insulator and that's why it is found on the bird's body. Down feathers are almost three-dimensional and have many hooked and airy strands which can both absorb moisture and keep the body warm. |
|
![]() | Feathers Feathers are created from horn and have evolved from the scale found on reptiles. They are two-dimensional and sit on the outside of the down in order to protect it against impact. Feathers curve and that's why they are ideal for supporting the neck in pillows as under pressure the feathers will try to return to their natural form. |

Down
and feathers are particularly good at insulating the body as they can trap still air, which the body
then warms up. Their greatest advantage, however, is that they absorb moisture and transport it away
from the body, something which synthetic fibres cannot do.
- The
best down and
feathers have a very long lifetime and even if you use and wash your duvet or pillow, only minimal maintenance
is required to retain these properties.
- The most
important prerequisite for
good down is that it should come from adult ducks or geese. Some people believe that the best down comes
from live ducks and geese, but this is a view that JYSK does not share. We consider the plucking of
live birds to be cruel and we do not use that sort of down at JYSK.

When buying
a down duvet or pillow, you should look at the tog rating as this tells you a lot about the insulation
values of the duvet. The tog rating tells you how much air is in the filling. Down with a high tog rating
gives a light and plump duvet, providing the best insulation. The more feathers there are mixed in with
the down, the lower the tog rating achieved and the heavier the filling. This is why the weight alone
doesn't tell you how warm the duvet is. For example, a duvet with a 500 g filling with a tog rating
of 11 is warmer than a duvet with a 1200 g filling with a tog rating of 4.
The filling in fibre duvets can be made from various materials, such as polyester, which each have a number of characteristics and benefits. The fibres' insulation abilities depend on their ability to trap still air which is heated up by the body.

A fibre-filled duvet or pillow is machine washable and suitable for tumble drying as long as you follow the instructions. In order to achieve the best results, make sure that the drum of the tumble dryer is large enough for the duvet or pillow to be able to move around freely.
Greenfirst Is a natural essence extracted from lavender, citrus and eucalyptus. If the ticking has been treated with this essence, house dust mites won't thrive in your duvet or pillow. | |||
![]() | Nomite Is a guarantee that house dust mites and their microscopic excrement will not be able to penetrate the ticking (the fabric surrounding the filling in a duvet or pillow). | ||
![]() | Allerban Are antibacterial fibres which prevent house dust mites and bacteria from reproducing. Extra long molecules are attached to the fibres' molecules and these act a bit like barbed wire and destroy the cells in the house dust mites and bacteria. |
