Duvet Quiz

Price
There are many factors that contribute to the price of a duvet, but the primary one is the fill.
Down is much more expensive per ounce than feather or microfiber. Higher loft down is more expensive than lower loft down.
Goose material is more costly than duck material.
And of course, how much fill the duvet contains (determined by the size and the warmth level) impacts the price too.

If value is your primary goal, we highly recommend duck products over goose. Goose material is scarcer than duck, which drives up the price. Duck and goose material of the same loft feel and perform the same, so opting for duck allows you to experience all the benefits of a luxury product at a nicer price.
Opting for a lower loft product is also a good way to drive value. Depending on your needs and preferences, a high loft down product may not be necessary!

Shell Softness / Noise Level
The higher the thread count, the softer and quieter the shell. Lower thread counts are more crisp and make a rustling noise with movement. If you're looking for a quiet shell, you'll generally be satisfied with a thread count of 300 or above. Lower thread counts are more durable - you'll find that feather products are paired with lower thread count fabrics that stand up better to the feather quills.

Weight
Any down duvet is going to be relatively lightweight. Down is a very powerful insulator, so just a small amount of fill goes a long way in terms of warmth. This is even more pronounced the higher the loft. Higher loft down is warmer per ounce, so it takes less fill to achieve the desired warmth level.
Lower loft down duvets are still quite light, but are heavier than higher loft down duvets. (Note that just because lower loft down duvets contain more fill than higher loft ones, they do not have a fluffier or puffier appearance. Lower loft down duvets are fuller but contain smaller down clusters. Higher loft down duvets contain less fill but the down clusters are larger. So it evens out!)
Duvets containing feather and microfiber are heavier. These materials are not nearly as insulating as down, so much more fill is required to achieve the desired warmth level.
