The OHS Guide to Coverless Duvets: What, Why, How?

Have you heard? Coverless duvets are all the rage! These handy bed-making hacks consist of a soft, padded inner layer encased in a fully washable fabric shell. Unlike traditional duvets that require separate covers, coverless duvets are designed to be used without an additional layer, offering simplicity and convenience in bed-making which we can all appreciate in our busy lives. Without the hassle of wrestling duvet into cover, we have free time to focus on the things that we enjoy! Coverless duvets from OHS come in a range of sizes, materials, and designs to suit different preferences and sleeping needs.

 

Benefits of the Coverless Duvet

Coverless duvets are gaining popularity for a host of reasons...

 

Coverless Convenience

Changing the bed, for many, is a dreaded chore. The primary advantage of coverless duvets is that they offer a streamlined bed dressing routine, where we needn’t turn the cover inside out and upside down and back and front. With one simple layer, a comprehensive filling complete with cover attached, making the bed suddenly becomes a whole lot easier and a whole lot quicker. Ideal for kids and teens in keeping their rooms neat as these make making the bed much easier. These are also fantastic solutions for those who struggle to change duvet covers due to limited mobility or perhaps their age.

Cool, Coverless, and Cost-Effective

A second huge benefit of these trending covers is that they are also super cost-effective in the long run. Negating the need to purchase new duvet covers once they require a refresh, coverless duvets promise a consistent and versatile design without spending additional money. This makes these a wonderful choice for students as well, especially those living in student accommodation as they are easy to store and transport between living situations each year.

Go Coverless and Gain Cleanliness

Coverless duvets are praised for their hygiene and cleanliness. Direct washing to the duvet itself ensures better hygiene and elevated cleanliness, as with typical duvets and bedding, the cover gets washed a lot more often than the duvet. Essentially, coverless duvets are machine washable and promise to return to their plush, plump state once they dry. Unlike traditional duvets with covers that require frequent washing, coverless duvets can easily be laundered all in one, reducing the build up of allergens and dust mites.

Comprehensive Colours and Constructions

With a developing range from OHS, we are pleased to currently offer coverless duvets that feature varying colours and materials. Plus, many people are drawn to the modern and minimalist look of the coverless duvet, often featuring clean stitched lines and soothing colours. With the laid-back look down, coverless duvets are excellent for customisation and coordination with many types of bedroom décor.

Constantly Coverless for Constant Comfort

By eliminating the wear and tear that is commonly associated with the frequent washing of duvet covers, coverless duvets often offer increased durability. With the substantial weight and thickness of these duvets, they have the benefit of durability which contributes to their longevity.

 

All of these perks considered, we know coverless duvets to be gaining popularity among consumes who are seeking a hassle-free and reliable bedding solution.

 

A Comprehensive Guide to Washing Coverless Duvets

As mentioned, coverless duvets are completely machine washable, increasing their convenience as well as their cleanliness. They are actually considered to be more hygienic than traditional duvet covers with separate fills, as with a coverless alternative you get a completely fresh set with every wash! Let’s run through a couple of the basics and top tips when it comes to the washing and maintenance of your coverless duvets.

 

Refer to Care Instructions

Always check your coverless duvet’s care instructions for the best settings for washing your variation in particular. With the coverless duvets from OHS, we recommend you wash yours on an energy-friendly 40°C and a gentle cycle, or on a cold or lukewarm wash to prevent agitation to your cover’s materials. Washing yours with cold water can help maintain the duvet’s shape and prevent shrinkage. We do not suggest you dry clean or bleach your coverless duvet.

Prepare for Washing:

  1. Check for stains and spots: Before washing, we recommend that you inspect your coverless duvet for any smaller stains so that you can spot clean. Addressing smaller stains before you wash your duvet ensures they are comprehensively treated during washing. In some cases, spot cleaning regularly with a coverless duvet can mean prolonged lapses in washing.
  2. Sort by colour and material: Sort your coverless duvet from other colours and materials to prevent colour bleeding and damage during washing. We suggest you wash your duvet separate from other loads to preserve their integrity and maintain quality of colour.

Choosing the Correct Detergent

Choose a mild detergent that is gentle on delicate fabrics: remember, you’re washing your sleep companion so be mindful of preserving its quality and maintaining the material’s integrity. Refrain from using bleach or harsh chemicals as these can damage the bedding and irritate your skin.

Deciding between Air Drying or Tumble Drying

Air drying is typically more effective in drying coverless duvets as this will do a better job preserving its shape, however some fillings respond better to tumble drying in restoring their plushness, namely down. If you have got a drying machine and wish to opt for this out of convenience, we recommend you dry your coverless duvet on a low cycle and on the lowest heat possible while intermittently checking its progress. While drying or once dried, its worth your time to allow the duvet to air out in a well-ventilated area. This ensures your duvet maintains a fresh scent before going back on your bed. Ensure your duvet is completely dry before using or storing away, as otherwise you may be faced with mould or mildew.

Fluff and Shake

Once your duvet is washed, dried, and aired out, ready to take its place back on your bed, its important to fluff and shake. Give your duvet a quick fluff as this allows the filling to firmly settle back into place and distribute evenly for a plush and encompassing feel.

 

Coverless Duvets: FAQs

 

Do coverless duvets fit in household washing machines?

Most coverless duvets, namely single and double sizes, fit into standard domestic washing machines which have a 7kg+ drum. However, it is worth noting that larger sizes, king and superking, will often require a larger capacity washing machine, typically a 10kg+ drum.

How often should you wash your coverless duvet?

There are a range of factors that should impact your cleaning schedule when it comes to coverless duvets, ranging from your own personal hygiene habits to your living environment and who you live with. Expects generally recommend you wash your coverless duvets every 3 months (coverless duvets do not require washing as often as a duvet cover) but take this as baseline in establishing your own routine. Consider the following when figuring out how often to wash yours:

  1. Personal Hygiene - Your own washing habits will impact how often you wash your duvet. If you tend to shower before bed and are in the habit of maintaining good hygiene, your duvet will require less frequent washing.
  1. Spot Cleaning - As mentioned above, regularly checking for smaller stains and spot cleaning spills will maintain its general cleanliness and negate the need for more frequent, full cycle washes.
  1. Your Environment and Sensitives - Where you live and your conditions can affect your washing schedule as well. If you will in a humid area or tend to experience a lot of dust, you will likely have to wash your duvet more often. Similarly, if you have pets that you share a bed with, this will also be a factor in that schedule. Lastly, allergies within your home, be that your allergies or others, may mean more frequent washing to reduce buildups of allergens or dust mites.

Where should you store your coverless duvet?
