Allergy is an unpleasant thing, but, unfortunately, getting rid of it is almost impossible. Therefore, any allergy sufferer has to adapt to live with this problem. In this regard, one of the most frequent questions is the choice of a duvet that is hypoallergenic and does not cause unpleasant symptoms. Let's see which model is the best for allergy sufferers.
Duvet allergy
The spread of allergies is steadily increasing with the development of progress. Among the huge number of allergens, people are constantly faced with an inadequate reaction to bedding.
Which duvets are most likely to cause allergies? There are not so many fillers that periodically become intolerable. Basically, these are materials of animal origin. So most often allergies can be caused by the down and feathers of birds in duvets. Also, an allergy to a woolen product often appears. But the camel model is much less likely to be the culprit for allergic reactions, therefore the camel's wool is sometimes called hypoallergenic. It's all about the lower content of lanolin, which usually becomes an irritant for the immunity of allergy sufferers. But do not flatter yourself, an allergy to camel products can also appear.
Duvet sizes UK are as follows: 135 x 200cm (Single), 200 x 200cm (Double), 225 x 220cm (King), 260 x 220cm (Super King).
The best hypoallergenic duvets
When choosing a duvet for an allergic person, pay attention to the following types of fillers.
Artificial down
Synthetic polyester fiber is the most popular hypoallergenic duvet filler. Low cost, washable, and quick drying make faux products a versatile choice. And modern manufacturers even offer hypoallergenic feather duvets, where the feather is cleaned in a special way.
In the filling of such hypoallergenic down duvets, you can see the names: holofiber, ecofiber, "Swan's down", siliconized fiber, polyester, hollow fiber, microfiber, or just artificial down. The differences between them are insignificant – in the thickness and shape of the fiber, elasticity, and softness of the filler itself.
Silk
Silk duvets are the best choice for allergy sufferers and asthmatics. The valuable qualities of silk, its comfort, and its beneficial effect on the body have been known for more than one millennium. Therefore, even the secret of its production in China was kept in the strictest confidence for a very long time. Today, almost anyone can buy a silk duvet, especially since such a product will last a very long time.
Bamboo
The bamboo filler is one of the leaders in hypoallergenic bedding. The bamboo duvet has excellent ventilation properties, allowing the skin to breathe freely, and easily wicks away moisture, maintaining a comfortable microclimate in bed. The antibacterial properties of bamboo are great for people with allergies, dermatitis, or asthma.
Tencel
Tencel, the so-called eucalyptus fiber, is made from eucalyptus wood. Products with Tencel are extremely lightweight, breathable, do not create excessive moisture even in hot summer, which will no doubt be highly appreciated by allergy sufferers with sensitive skin.
Cotton
Hypoallergenic cotton duvets have been used for a very long time. The most popular options are thick wadded and lightweight fleece models, which are especially appreciated as children's bedding. The modern version of cotton filler is lighter and no longer cakes like cotton wool. So the cotton model stays breathable, soft, and lightweight for years to come.
Linen
A linen duvet is an excellent hypoallergenic option for both summer and cold seasons. The ability of flax to thermoregulate is also widely and for a long time known – it is not hot under it in summer, and warm in winter.
