I love mine. My daughter and dog like theirs too. It's super soft and comfy. Had mine 4 years now and even after all its washings it still looks good. They are quality. I bought mine for $10 each from the room they have markdown stuff at. Answer from Bethywethy83 on reddit.com

r/IKEA on Reddit: Do you recommend IKEA Duvets?
April 29, 2025 -

I desperately need a new duvet and I was looking at ordering one from IKEA because the price is right and I generally like the quality of their products.

I was specifically looking at the STJÄRNBRÄCKA light warm duvet, but the reviews are mixed so I wanted to get some more input.

Would you recommend something else? A different model, material, etc?

I've had my last duvet for a decade so I have no point of reference and live a state away from the nearest store. Any input is appreciated!!

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

The issue with IKEA duvets is they use non standard measurements, so you're stuck with their duvet covers. I had one in my Queen and it never covered the bed quite right. They're minimal warmth comforter is great for someone who wants the weight of a comforter without retaining heat, it's one of the few polyester things I think does its job well, but I wish it fit my bed.

I’ve had one for about ten years, and it’s been okay. I’m planning to replace it this fall. It’s light weight, so good in summer, but needs extra blankets in the colder months. Down alternative is definitely better on the low budget end. Buying cheap down is just buying trouble (mostly feather, odor, clumping), and quality down is expensive. Im not convinced it’s worth it for most people for a comforter/duvet. Quality down pillows are worth it though. There are many down alternatives that are generic polyester fill. And there are a few that have a reputation for excellence while still not too expensive. I have a sleeping bag made with Primaloft, and it’s the real deal. It’s twenty years old and still in great condition. That’s what I’ll probably buy. Here’s one that you might like. This company has a great reputation and sells several different down alternative comforters. I’ve been meaning to call them and get more info on their various options. They are big suppliers to the hotel industry. So I’d recommend Primaloft without hesitation, and then you have to get the right weight for your preference.

Hello! I’m turning 28 this month and am asking for a really comfortable, thick but not too hot, very pufffy, duvet insert. Can be down or down alternative. My entire life, I’ve only ever used comforters! I’ve actually only just learned the difference..

I don’t want to ask for anything too expensive, but I would like something that isn’t comparable to the standard comforters I’m used to. Ideally it would be under $200. Any recommendations? I’d even be okay with buying 2 inexpensive ones, and putting both of them inside the duvet cover, which I’ve seen some people say they do. Any suggestions for somebody who knows nothing about duvets?

April 11, 2025 -

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

r/Bedding on Reddit: IKEA down vs wool duvet!
November 3, 2024 -

Hi, we're wanting to upgrade our duvet from a cheap synthetic sweaty comforter to something nicer and natural. Looking at IKEA right now since they have pretty affordable options. We're considering wool and down.

Can anyone weigh in on the down smell issues? Seems like a lot of reviewers end up throwing the duvet out due to the smell. Is the stank really that brutal?

Also would love any experience with the wool duvet. I love wool, just not sure how warm it will be.

For context, our bedroom gets down into the mid 50s in the winter. We're also running flannel sheets and a Pendleton wool blanket.

Any input on either of the IKEA duvets is appreciated ✌️

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.

August 12, 2018 - I have one with a feather filling on my bed and two synthetic twin duvets on guest beds. I like the weight of the feather one me and my husband use. It is warm but not too warm. It does shed some feathers. I tend to opt for non-synthetic materials when I can. In the summer we use a (non-IKEA) cotton comforter.

Do any of IKEA’s duvet inserts that are listed as “cool” really stay cool?

Greetings to my fellow hot-natured folks living on warm climates! Title and lead question say it all. I currently live in Texas. I’ve been hot natured all my life and I sleep hot… and it doesn’t help that I have a very sweet cat who insists on sleeping pressed up against me. I can’t sleep with no top covering at all (sheet, duvet, whatever), and I’ve tried sleeping with just a sheet but I need the feel of a little something more. But even a thin all-cotton quilt/blanket is just too hot and I wake up sweating multiple times in the night. Desperate for a solution!

I had an IKEA duvet for ten years, it was great, but eventually all the filling migrated to the edges and it was time for a replacement. I bought the FJÄLLBRÄCKA and it's super ... crunchy? The material is theoretically 100% cotton, but so was my old duvet and it was very soft. The new one sounds like sleeping under a plastic tarp! I shouldn't have to worry about waking my partner up when I turn over in bed. Has anyone had this experience with an IKEA duvet? Did it soften after a few washes? I already washed it before use. I'd rather not return it but I can't live with this level of noise.

My fiancé and I are getting married next June and we are building our registry. I enjoy interior design and like to change up our bedding pretty often. Because of this, we have decided that a duvet is the right way to go instead of a comforter. But I have NO idea where to start… any and all advice would be amazing! Here is what we are looking for…..

I want something that is big and fluffy and I can curl myself in- but we would like to have it be all seasons. I wouldn’t say we sleep hot but we don’t want anything with lots of weight to it. I would also like the stuffing to not shift around a ton and have it be pretty even and spread out as we continue to use it.

While we are at it- does anyone have any duvet covers that they recommend??
