Hi Everyone,

My Fiancé sleeps hot and I am in the market to get a new Duvet Cover that is linen & Duvet insert that is breathable. Since our current Duvet Cover is from Amazon (MooMee, 100% cotton) with a Down Alternative comforter (Costco, probably polyester).

I haven’t landed on a Duvet Cover yet but I wanted to see if anyone has used this insert before and if they would recommend it to a semi-hot sleeper (Me)

I'm looking into summer bedding for our home. I got cotton percale sheet set, cotton duvet cover, and now need a duvet insert. I want natural materials (no synthetic) and am torn between A) IKEA Fjallarnika in light warm (https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/fjaellarnika-duvet-insert-light-warm-50457474/) vs B) a silk option (https://a.co/d/20cpliD ---OR--- https://www.mommesilk.com/products/copy-of-washable-cotton-covered-silk-comforter).

Does anyone have experience to share? In the hottest months here (hot & humid) everything will be thrown off, so I wouldn't mind if it had a bit of versatility, i.e., spring/summer/fall.

More info: One child sleeps hot, one does not; they share a room. For winter (gets very cold here) son has the Fjallarnika duvet insert in warm and throws it off most nights. Daughter has the Fjallbracka in warm bc it was too hot for son. Fjallarnika has 90% feather/10% down so I thought getting it in light warm for summer would be a cooler option than the light warm Fjallbracka which has 75% down/25% feather.

IKEA is 3 hrs away so going to see in person is basically already making the choice. Would like to get them this weekend so I can be ready to change the bedding as the weather warms up! Thanks

Hello all!

As title says, it's time to replace my 15 year old Ikea FJÄLLARNIKA light warm duvet insert. I have a separate full-warmth down duvet and it's great, but too hot for any time the outside temps are above freezing (or 15C in my bedroom). I've been using the Ikea one for the other 3 seasons, adding a wool blanket on top for the shoulder seasons. I've been quite happy with it generally, I like that there's enough weight to feel cozy without trapping too much heat for the summer. I could just replace it with the same one, but I'm curious as to what could be better out there. Also it's kind of annoying that Ikea duvet inserts are non-standard sizes and they never fit right with my non-Ikea covers.

I've been curious about silk duvets, but being dry clean only seems onerous. I have to wash mine in warm water regularly as I'm allergic to dust mites. I also worry that putting a heavy-ish wool blanket on top of the silk duvet for 2/3 the time will compress it and compromise its function, though I'm not sure if there's any real basis for this.

What would you recommend?

For reference the Queen size ikea duvet inserts are 86" x 86", and other brands (in Canada) are typically 92" x 90". I'll be using this for when temps in my bedroom 20-25C.

Hi all, I’m considering pulling the trigger on buying a down insert from IKEA due to the amazing price. Also, is down or down alternative better? I live in western NY (Buffalo area) so we have long winters. I don’t really sleep or cold, basically in the middle. Any recs? I’m not trying to spend more than $150! LMK if they are worth it! Thanks
