Our materials
Every Snuggle Fleece coverless duvet and pillowcase we make is built for warmth and easy living. Here’s what each layer is, how warm it sleeps, and how to look after it.
How warmth works
GSM means grams per square metre. On a coverless duvet it tells you how much fill is inside: a higher fill GSM usually sleeps warmer.
The outer fabric matters just as much. Our 250 GSM fill sits between two layers of thick Snuggle Fleece, which holds the warmth in. That’s why a Snuggle Fleece duvet feels warmer than a thin cotton duvet with a similar fill.
Snuggle Fleece duvets aren’t TOG-rated, but most people find them comparable to a 10.5 to 13.5 TOG winter duvet. Read the warmth guide.

Synthetic fabrics, honestly
Our fill is high-loft polyester. We use synthetic fibres because they’re warm, durable, quick to dry and easy to care for, at a price that suits everyday homes.
They have trade-offs too. Synthetic fabrics shed tiny fibres when they’re washed, and those can end up in waterways. It’s an active area of research, and we’d rather say so than leave it out. A microfibre-catching wash bag is a simple way to reduce it.

Common questions
Snuggle Fleece is our own signature fleece. It covers the front and reverse of our coverless duvets at 150 GSM, and the front and reverse of our pillowcases. What is Snuggle Fleece?.
GSM stands for grams per square metre. On a coverless duvet it measures the fill inside: a higher fill GSM usually means a warmer duvet. The outer fabric also affects how warm it feels.
No. TOG is measured for traditional duvets. Most people find our 250 GSM Snuggle Fleece duvet comparable to a 10.5 to 13.5 TOG winter duvet. Read the warmth guide.

Yes, if your machine is big enough: 7 to 8 kg for a Single or Double, 9 to 10 kg for a Queen, 10 to 12 kg for a King and 12 kg or more for a Super King. Line dry only.
Current scientific evidence does not show that normal use of polyester bedding causes harm through skin contact. We’ve written up what the evidence says, including the open questions around microfibre shedding. Read what the evidence says.
