Question 1

What’s the difference between a duvet and comforter?

Accepted Answer

Typically a comforter is quilted with evenly distributed filling and does not require a cover. A duvet is an insert that typically requires a cover. The great news is that we engineered the Layla Comforter™ to work as both! You can certainly use a duvet cover if you’d like, but the Layla Comforter™ works fantastic as a comforter without a cover as well.

Question 2

Do I need a duvet cover for the Layla Comforter?

Accepted Answer

No! We engineered the Layla Comforter™ to work as both a duvet and a comforter! You can certainly use a duvet cover if you’d like, but the Layla Comforter™ works perfectly as a comforter without a cover.

Question 3

Will my duvet cover work with the Layla Comforter?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We designed the Layla Comforter™ with corner loops on all four corners for ease of securing to a duvet cover. Please check our Product Specifications and make sure your duvet cover is the same size as your Layla Comforter™ to ensure a proper fit.

Question 4

What is fill power?

Accepted Answer

Fill power is the amount of space taken by a single piece of down for its weight. Typically, the higher the fill power, the higher the loft potential. Greater fill power means a more lofty comforter. Because the Layla Comforter uses a down alternative fill that closely mimics feathers, the comforter’s fill power can be accurately measured using this scale.
		  Fill Power Test (Nerd Alert!): This test is typically done by filling a large cylinder with one ounce of down alternative material. A lightly weighted disk is placed on top, and begins to slowly sink and compress the down. After exactly one minute, the position of the disk is recorded and the volume of down compressed at that point is calculated. A result of 700 cubic inches of down equates to 700-fill-power down.

Question 5

The Layla Comforter has a 700 fill power. Will this make it too hot?

Accepted Answer

No. The more compressed the fill gets during a fill power test (see the FAQ “What is Fill Power?”) the less lofty it will be. A fill power of 700 means you have a highly resilient down alternative material that does not easily compress and will remain lofty. If high fill power is paired with high volume of fill, it could get too hot. But we tested this extensively and found that a 700 fill power combined with 10 oz. of fill volume was the perfect pairing to keep your comforter feeling great - Warm when you need it but never too hot.
