This guide provides a general guideline, which each individual can adapt according to their preferences: whether you are a restless or still sleeper, a couple who prefers ‘their own duvet’, or someone who likes to wrap themselves in the duvet or prefers it flat – the possibilities are numerous!
WHICH DUVET COVER TO CHOOSE?
We hope to soon be able to offer you bedding perfectly suited to our products. In the meantime, the rule to follow is simple: to preserve the excellent properties of alpaca wool, you must use a natural duvet cover. Satin or cotton percale are perfectly suitable. You may also use warmer materials such as silk in winter, and lighter ones like linen for summer.
Do not use synthetic materials; this would spoil the experience.
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR ERAEN DUVET?
Washing an alpaca duvet in water would inevitably lead to the felting of the wool, rendering it unusable. However, there is no need for concern; alpaca wool is self-cleaning and allows for excellent air circulation, meaning that frequent airing is sufficient to keep your duvet clean. In the event of an accident, a damp cloth can be used for spot treatment. For enhanced effectiveness, you may also use a vinegar solution on your cloth.
Should a significant incident occur, a gentle professional dry cleaning process is recommended.
SMALL AMOUNTS OF WOOL ARE ESCAPING FROM MY DUVET, IS THIS NORMAL?
Eraen duvets are entirely natural, which is why we do not use chemically sealed textile casings to keep the fiber inside the duvet. We have engineered our cotton so that its weave is as tight as possible without altering the characteristics of alpaca wool. We all have different sleeping habits, and some may notice tiny amounts of wool escaping from their duvet, while others will not experience this at all. Do not worry if this occurs; it is a natural phenomenon that varies in intensity depending on the sleeper, and it has been taken into account during the design of our duvets. After a few days of use, the duvet will stabilize.
IS ALPACA WOOL ANIMAL WELFARE-FRIENDLY?
Alpacas are highly sensitive animals that cannot withstand intensive farming and mistreatment. A happy herd ensures a good yield.
If you are looking for a natural, high-quality duvet crafted with respect for animal welfare, our duvets await you!
WHERE ARE ERAEN DUVETS DESIGNED?
A French-Polish company rooted in the tradition of European excellence, Eraen has centralized its workshops and breeding facilities in Poland at the foot of the Carpathians. In the heart of Europe, we have developed specifications that prioritize local suppliers, short supply chains, and sustainable partnerships. We source from the best for what we do not produce ourselves, to ensure consistent quality in our products. No false ‘Made in France,’ but a true collaborative harmony.
WHY CHOOSE ALPACA WOOL?
Alpaca wool, rare and precious, offers excellent thermal insulation, ideal for a year-round duvet. Naturally hypoallergenic and moisture-wicking, it ensures healthy and restorative sleep.
