My feather and down duvet is very old and getting a bit flat. I’ve been thinking about a wool duvet for a while but I don’t know anyone who has one and can tell me if they’re great or not! I found a post on here from 2021 which mentions them but nothing more recent.
I’m looking at the wool duvet on Groupon and need super king. Someone said they’re very heavy especially for changing covers.
Does anyone have any advice on wool duvets?

We have a winter/heavy wool duvet. Think it equates to a 10 tog.
Honestly it’s the best duvet I have ever owned but it was expensive..
Very warm at the moment but the strangest thing is that we had it on at times in the summer and it was never too warm.
It is heavier than a feather duvet and I can’t manage to change to duvet cover on my own.
Had a feather and down previously but much prefer the wool.

I love my wool duvet.

I have bought coverless duvets for every bed. Very happy with them. No more fighting the duvets on 3 beds each time the family visits.

We also just swapped to coverless duvets and are very pleased with them.

Coverless here too - I’ve put a new 10.5 over my 7.5. I don’t think it equates to 18tog, as I’d be roasting (!) but it’s a nice weight and cozy.

I bought coverless duvets and returned them both. The seams went on them after a week or so. They were not cheap and a supposedly good brand for all kinds of bedding. I will look into a wool duvet its more sustainable so I would expect it to be expensive.

I love my coverless duvet. It's so light yet very cosy. It looks lovely on the bed too and washes well and easily.

I have swapped to coverless duvets, I found changing the covers on a king-size duvet too much for my hands, so have changed the small double and 2 singles too, on my dh I throw a blanket over if he feels cold.so easy to manage.
