Down alternative options are often less expensive than down duvets because they must be replaced more often. Most alternative materials, such as polyester or microfibre, have a shorter lifespan than natural down and feathers. You should look to replace your down alternative duvet every two to three years if you take proper care of it.

Each company knows what is best for its products, and following their care instructions is the best way to ensure longevity and durability. The manufacturer should include care instructions for their duvets, so you should make sure to understand these instructions before washing your duvet.

Unlike natural down options, it’s easy to care for down alternative duvets. You can throw them in the washing machine and dryer when they need to be washed, so it’s easy to make it fresh and clean again. While down duvets need special care and a lot of time to properly maintain, down alternative duvets offer a more stress-free experience.
