What is the difference between the Down Duvet 4 seasons and the winter Down Duvet?
Aug 01, 2022
In winter, you can choose to use a single warm duvet or a 4-season duvet.
The 4-season Down Duvet essentially consists of two separate duvets: 1 lighter duvet (considered a summer duvet) and 1 heavier duvet (considered an autumn duvet). The two duvets can be used separately in the transitional seasons and joined using the special buttons to form a single warm duvet suitable for colder seasons.
But what’s the difference between using the Down Duvet 4-season or the Down Duvet winter?
WARMTH LEVEL
The winter duvet provides more warmth than a 4-season duvet:
-
The winter duvet has 5 warmth points.
-
The 4-season Down Duvet provides 4.5 warmth points: it consists of 1 summer duvet with 2 warmth points + 1 autumn duvet with 3 warmth points. However, since they are separate, some air may get through, reducing their insulating power; as a result, they cannot reach a full 5 points.
The difference is obviously minimal and only noticeable in very cold temperatures. For anyone who still wants a 4-season duvet but faces colder temperatures, Zenoni & Colombi offers the 4-season PLUS duvet, made up of 1 lightweight duvet + 1 winter duvet, providing almost 6 warmth points.
LIGHTNESS
Our bodies feel more comfortable under a single duvet than when dozing beneath a 4-season duvet. Getting under a 4-season Down Duvet means having two duvets over you, and therefore four layers of fabric. It will feel different in terms of lightness: at the same temperature, you’ll have a more comfortable weight over your body!
THE BENEFITS OF THE 4-SEASON DOWN DUVET
In terms of practicality, the 4-season Down Duvet lets you easily and quickly make your bedding lighter or heavier; a simple gesture is all it takes to make your duvet warmer or cooler.
With the 4-season Down Duvet, there’s no need to worry about storing it in winter, as both duvets are in use and the heavier one won’t need to be put away until summer.
