Down duvet tops Dutch consumers’ association ranking for second time

Recycled down duvet takes first spot

Just when we’d got over the triumph of winning the ‘Beste uit de Test’ seal of approval in the Consumentenbond’s 2021 ranking, ourrecycled down all-seasons duvet did it again in the most recent survey in 2024! With its recycled filling, our all-seasons duvet champions more sustainable production methods while being irresistibly soft and light. What more could you want?

Our triumph shows that sustainability and quality go hand-in-hand. The ReNew duvet is made of 70% recycled down and 30% recycled feathers. In 2018, working with our down supplier, we established the Netherlands’ first supply chain for recycled down: collecting old down duvets, pillows and jackets, removing the down and sorting it by weight and quality. The down is then thoroughly washed, leaving it 100% clean and just as soft and breathable as before.

Dutch consumers' association survey

The Dutch consumers’ association (Consumentenbond) tested a range ofall-seasons duvets sold by various brands including  Yumeko, HEMA, IKEA, Auping and Vandyck, comparing eight down duvets and eight polyester duvets.

Your choice of duvet depends in part on personal preference. That said, all ‘good’ duvets share a certain number of characteristics. If you know what they are, you’ll find it easier to pick the right one for you. The survey by the Dutch consumers’ association took a good look at these characteristics alongside the duvets’ sustainability and the quality of information on the label.
