Dauny bedding products are high-quality items, carefully made in Switzerland with a great deal of craftsmanship. A little care goes a long way: duvets and pillows last longer, maintain their functionality, and respond more sensitively to your individual sleep needs. 

Lifecycle

Down duvets should not be used for more than eight years—even with regular airing and proper care. 

Duvets filled with synthetic fibers or sheep’s wool should be replaced after six to eight years. 

Care tips

• Bedding needs plenty of fresh air in the morning to release the moisture absorbed during sleep.
• Air out the room thoroughly every day.
• Shake out bedding lightly every day. With some duvets, the filling may shift; gently smoothing it by hand helps redistribute the down and feathers.
• Air bedding regularly outdoors in fresh, dry air, but protect it from direct sunlight.
• Avoid using a vacuum cleaner or carpet beater.
• Do not cover the duvet with a bedspread—it needs to breathe.
• Change bed linen regularly. When making the bed, occasionally switch the head and foot ends.

Cleaning

• Washable down duvets and feather pillows with care labels can be washed at temperatures of up to 60°C. Always use a pH-neutral liquid mild detergent (never use fabric softener).
• Wash duvets and pillows separately.
• Use a gentle wash cycle with a low spin speed.
• Repeat the spin cycle, as down and feathers absorb many times their own weight in water.
• Dry each item separately in a tumble dryer at 100°C.
• Shake it every 30 minutes to significantly reduce drying time.
• After the first drying cycle, let the duvet air-dry for about 12 hours, spread out on a drying rack.
• Always follow the specific care instructions on your duvet.

Cleaning service

If the duvet is too large for your washing machine—or at the latest every three to five years—a professional cleaning service is recommended. At Dauny, you can choose between wet cleaning and a full-service option. The full service includes cleaning the entire filling, steaming, dust removal, disinfection, and topping it up with approximately 10% new material. The regenerated filling is then placed into a new duvet cover.
