Silk & Snow Down Duvet Prices and Sizes

The Silk & Snow Down Duvet is made with the highest quality duck down, so it’s a little on the pricier side. With prices ranging from $275 to $500, you want to make sure that you are making a sound investment. Rest assured that the Silk & Snow Down Duvet is one of the best available on the Canadian market. 

Here are the dimensions and prices for each of this duvet’s weight options.

Materials

This duvet is made with pure duck down, one of the most luxurious types of down available on the Canadian market. This duck down comes from Canada, and the duvet is assembled in Mississauga. No matter whether you choose the Lightweight or All-Season duvet option, it has a fill power of 650. This leads to lots of fluffy loft, which is ideal for some Canadians.

The shell is made with 100% cotton, which is smooth and breathable. This helps a bit with temperature control. The ties that you can use to attach this duvet to the inside of a duvet cover are sturdy and won’t snap easily, so you can enjoy this duvet for much longer than the 1-year warranty.

Performance Test Results

Weight Options

The Silk & Snow Down Duvet is available in two weight options, also called warmth options. The Lightweight option is perfect for use during the summer months, in climates that get particularly hot, and by those who usually wake up with night sweats. It uses the least amount of fill and reduces higher temperatures throughout the night.

The All-Season option, on the other hand, is ideal for year-round use. It’s meant to stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer, so you won’t be uncomfortable throughout the night. Both weight options have a fill power of 650, so both are great insulators.

Sizes

This duvet is available in three combined sizes, which together cover all six standard mattress sizes. You can choose the Twin/Twin XL, Full/Queen, or King/California King. Make sure to pay close attention to the dimensions in the table above. When you buy a duvet cover, make sure that it will fit comfortably over these dimensions. Sometimes, duvet covers are not sold with these combined size options in mind, so checking the dimensions manually is your best course of action.

Care Instructions

Because this is a down duvet, it is not particularly easy to care for. You cannot wash any part of the duvet, nor should you get it wet. The down will clump if it gets wet, which can lead to a host of problems with the duvet. Instead, you should spot clean or dry clean as needed, which often means professional cleaning is needed if the duvet gets soiled.

To prevent needing to use professional cleaning services often, use a duvet cover with this duvet. It can protect against stains and normal wear and tear. Plus, if there is a spill or an accident, the duvet cover is washable.

Temperature Control

This duvet offers mild temperature control in the Lightweight option. Because of the natural insulating properties of down, it can be difficult to fully avoid night sweats with this duvet. The Lightweight option works to reduce extreme temperatures, but we would suggest using a temperature control duvet cover if you sleep particularly hot. 

If you want to avoid night sweats, the All-Season option should be avoided.

Sleep Trial and Warranty

The Silk & Snow Down Duvet comes with a sleep trial period of 100 nights. During this time, you can return the duvet if you don’t like it. You must keep it for the first 30 days of the trial to make sure that you don’t want it, and the duvet must be clean and in a condition to be donated for your return to be accepted. If you meet these requirements, you’ll get a full refund of your purchase price when your return is processed.

If you keep the duvet, you’ll have a 1-year warranty that covers any material defects, manufacturing errors, or issues that occur during normal use of the duvet. We recommend using a duvet cover to help reduce wear and tear.

Should You Buy The Silk & Snow Down Duvet?

The Silk & Snow Down Duvet is ideal for Canadians who want a more luxurious duvet option. You can choose between a Lightweight and an All-Season duvet, which is nearly perfect for all Canadians. We wish there were a winter-weight option, but it’s understandable considering the cost of producing such a lofty duvet.

With RDS certification and the highest quality Canadian materials, the Silk & Snow Down Duvet is definitely one of the best down duvets in Canada for those looking to buy.

“I sleep hot, so the Lightweight option was definitely for me. I can’t believe how expensive my bed feels now. It’s so soft and comfortable!”

FAQ

Are down duvets the best?

Down duvets are some of the highest quality duvets available, with white duck down and goose down duvets being the most popular. Goose down is generally superior when it comes to loft, durability, and insulation for those cold winter nights. 

What are the disadvantages of down duvets?

Down duvets are not ideal for those with allergies, especially those with allergies to animal down. It’s also much more difficult to take care of a down duvet, as they require consistent care that may include professional cleaning multiple times a year. 

What duvets do 5-star hotels use? 

Most upscale hotels use down duvets, which are lofty and offer great insulation. They also have a singularly luxurious feel, which is why those who stay at expensive hotels find them so comfortable.
