Heveya Organic Duvet

On that front, Okooko by European Bedding, Hong Kong’s organic bedding specialist, has got you covered, literally! The store has just introduced its new Heveya Organic Duvet – and there’s plenty to love about it.

The duvet is made ethically in Germany under excellent quality-control conditions.

It consists of a 100 percent GOTS-certified cotton cover and 100 percent bamboo lyocell fibre padding. (What’s GOTS? It stands for Global Organic Textile Standard and is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres.)

The natural and organic materials contain no chemicals and are easy to care for. While most natural duvets are only machine-washable at low temperatures, this can be washed at up to 60 degrees, which really ensures good hygiene!

It’s a light-weight duvet that’s breathable and hypoallergenic – that means it’s ideal for all seasons of weather in Hong Kong. (We’re particularly looking forward to snuggling under ours as the late autumn chill starts to kick in!)

Natural organic and hypoallergenic duvets aren’t that easy to come by, and you’re unlikely to find very much like it on the market.

Pair it with a set of Heveya Bamboo Sheets, also from Okooko by European Bedding, and you’re in for a cosy, comfortable sleep all year round.

While those with a British background will almost always talk about the duvets on their beds, Aussies are more likely to refer to their doona. Both terms ultimately derive from the same word, “down”, referring to a bird’s feathers – “duvet” is from French (in rural France, people used to sleep under covers stuffed with duck or goose down), and “doona” has its origins in Danish and Norwegian.

There are other variations around the English-speaking world, too: quilt, comforter, eiderdown, continental quilt and more – though not all of them refer to exactly the same piece of bedding.
