Understanding the Technical Specifications<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before making a choice, it is helpful to know the four main pillars used to evaluate a duvet:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>A. TOG Rating &amp; Weight (GSM)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TOG tells you how warm a duvet is; GSM tells you how much filling it contains.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>TOG Rating (Thermal Overall Grade): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Measures the duvet&#8217;s ability to trap heat. The higher the number, the warmer the duvet. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note: TOG indicates warmth, not weight!<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>GSM (Grams per Square Meter): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Represents the weight of the filling per square meter.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The two don&#8217;t always move together. Down traps more heat per gram than synthetic fibre, which is why our Ypnos Down Duvet Winter earns a four-star warmth rating with 200gr\/m\u00b2 of down, while the QuiltMe Edreton uses 450gr\/m\u00b2 of Hollowfibre to reach 13 TOG.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>B. Filling: Natural vs Synthetic<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Down is lighter and more breathable for the same warmth; synthetic filling is easier to wash and quick to dry.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Natural Filling (Down\/Feathers \u2013 Ypnos Down Series): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provides top-tier thermal insulation with the lowest possible weight. It breathes naturally, wicks away moisture, and offers an unparalleled feeling of luxury. All Ypnos Down Duvets are NOMITE\u00ae certified, making them suitable for allergy sufferers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Synthetic Filling (Hollowfibre \/ Microfibre \u2013 QuiltMe Series): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hypoallergenic, extremely durable, and practical. Machine washable at 30\u00b0C and quick-drying.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>C. Fabric Density &amp; Construction<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The outer fabric and the way a duvet is stitched decide how soft it feels and how evenly it keeps you warm.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Thread Count: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The higher the number, the denser, softer, and more durable the outer fabric (e.g., Cotton Percale on Ypnos, or the 300 thread count cotton satin on QuiltMe).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Baffle Box Construction: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Internal square compartments that prevent the filling from shifting, ensuring even warmth without &#8220;cold spots.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>D. Choosing the Right Size (Dimensions)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose a duvet at least 20\u201330 cm wider than your mattress on each side.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The Ideal Ratio: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This overhang lets the duvet drape elegantly and prevents cold drafts when you move during sleep.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Couples Sleeping Together: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If sharing a bed, opt for a larger size (e.g., King or Super King) to avoid nocturnal &#8220;tug-of-war&#8221; over the duvet.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Duvet Cover Matching: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure the duvet dimensions match your duvet covers precisely for a smooth fit without internal bunching.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; background-color: #b8913a; color: #ffffff; text-align: left;\">Mattress<\/th>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; background-color: #0f2a42; color: #ffffff; text-align: left;\">Mattress width<\/th>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; background-color: #0f2a42; color: #ffffff; text-align: left;\">Ypnos duvet size<\/th>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; background-color: #0f2a42; color: #ffffff; text-align: left;\">Overhang each side<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; vertical-align: top;\"><b>Single<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; vertical-align: top;\">90 cm<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; vertical-align: top;\">160 x 240 cm<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; vertical-align: top;\">About 35 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #e8eff6;\">\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; vertical-align: top;\"><b>Double<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; vertical-align: top;\">140\u2013150 cm<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; vertical-align: top;\">220 x 240 cm<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; vertical-align: top;\">About 35\u201340 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; vertical-align: top;\"><b>Queen<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; vertical-align: top;\">160 cm<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; vertical-align: top;\">240 x 240 cm<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; vertical-align: top;\">About 40 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #e8eff6;\">\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; vertical-align: top;\"><b>King<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; vertical-align: top;\">180 cm<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; vertical-align: top;\">260 x 240 cm<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; vertical-align: top;\">About 40 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; vertical-align: top;\"><b>Super King<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; vertical-align: top;\">200 cm<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; vertical-align: top;\">275 x 240 cm<\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #D0D0D0; padding: 8px 10px; vertical-align: top;\">About 37 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For QuiltMe sizes, our Sleep Advisors will help you find the right fit in store.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2.

It tells you nothing about weight, which is measured in GSM.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f1e3; border-left: 4px solid #B8913A; border-radius: 4px; padding: 16px 20px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0; color: #0f2a42;\"><b>Q: What TOG duvet is best for winter in Cyprus?<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: For cold bedrooms or mountain homes where the heating goes off at night, choose a high-warmth duvet like the 13 TOG QuiltMe Edreton or the Ypnos Down Duvet Winter. In a heated city apartment, the 11 TOG QuiltMe Comfort is usually enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #e8eff6; border-left: 4px solid #004B85; border-radius: 4px; padding: 16px 20px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0; color: #0f2a42;\"><b>Q: Is a down or synthetic duvet better?<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Down gives more warmth for less weight and breathes naturally. Synthetic Hollowfibre is machine washable and quick-drying, so the right choice depends on how you sleep and how you prefer to care for your duvet.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f1e3; border-left: 4px solid #B8913A; border-radius: 4px; padding: 16px 20px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0; color: #0f2a42;\"><b>Q: Can I machine wash my duvet?<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: QuiltMe duvets can be machine washed at 30\u00b0C without spinning and dried flat, away from sun and humidity. Ypnos down duvets need specialized cleaning, so always follow the care label.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #e8eff6; border-left: 4px solid #004B85; border-radius: 4px; padding: 16px 20px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0; color: #0f2a42;\"><b>Q: What size duvet do I need for a double bed?<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: For a 140\u2013150 cm double mattress, a 220 x 240 cm duvet gives about 35\u201340 cm of overhang on each side. Couples who like extra coverage can go one size up.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f1e3; border-left: 4px solid #B8913A; border-radius: 4px; padding: 16px 20px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0; color: #0f2a42;\"><b>Q: Are Gevorest down duvets suitable for allergy sufferers?<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Yes. All Ypnos Down Duvets are hypoallergenic and NOMITE\u00ae certified, which makes them suitable for allergy sufferers.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #e8eff6; border-left: 4px solid #004B85; border-radius: 4px; padding: 16px 20px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0; color: #0f2a42;\"><b>Q: Where can I get expert advice on choosing a duvet in Cyprus?<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: At any Gevorest store, where our Sleep Advisors will match a duvet to your bedroom conditions and personal thermal preferences.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing the right duvet is not just a matter of appearance; it is one of the most important investments in your sleep quality.
