We regularly talk on here about reusing, recycling, upcycling and just reducing waste in general. We’re alarmed at the amount of rubbish polluting the earth and our oceans, seas and waterways. Especially the single-use plastic. That’s why we were really up for reviewing The Fine Bedding Company‘s newly-launched Eco Duvet.
The Fine Bedding Company conducted some research – surveying 2,000 UK adults – and found that almost half of Brits would like to significantly reduce their daily plastic consumption but don’t know how to do more about it. 94% of them believed that it was the responsibility of supermarkets, large retailers and brands to help people shop more sustainably.
The Eco Duvet has impeccable environmental credentials. The silky soft, microfibre filling is made from 100% PET plastic bottles. The king-size duvet that we’ve been sent to try out, is made from 149 bottles. The cover is hypo-allergenic, breathable and is also made from 100% recycled materials.
The cardboard box and plastic bag that it’s delivered in are – yes, manufactured using 100% recycled, recyclable materials that are printed on using biodegradable ink. And that’s not all – their products are made using 100% renewable energy in their award-winning eco factory! Check out their infographic below.
The duvet has the luxury feel of the finest goose down. It’s light, and airy but keeps you feeling warm and cosy in the winter and cool and comfortable in the summer. It can be washed on a 30ºC cycle and is fast drying, to boot.
Sustainable, responsible, practical and affordable; with the Eco Duvet there’s no down-side (see what we did there?!). The 10.5 tog duvet is available in single, double, king and super-king sizes, with prices starting at £45. We can thoroughly recommend it.
We’ve certainly enjoyed this product review, as nothing quite beats snuggling into a newly made bed with freshly-laundered sheets and a brand new duvet… especially one that lets you sleep with a clear conscience!
Have you been doing anything to reduce your consumption of single use plastic?
