How thrilled my husband and I are to have purchased such a wonderful duvet! It is most certainly the best duvet we have ever had. It does exactly what your web site said it would. My husband sometimes experiences allergic asthmatic reaction to certain materials but with your Southdown wool duvet he enjoys peaceful nights' sleep. And, because the duvet is breathable, we no longer wake up during the night due to night sweats. As well as enjoying your excellent products I should also mention what a pleasure it has been to communicate my orders with you. How refreshing to speak on the telephone to a real person instead of a machine. Jessica has given outstanding personal service remembering my name and order details whenever I have called. I will certainly recommend Southdown duvets and pillowcases to my family and friends. Sincere thanks for the excellent products, personal service and wonderful nights' sleep.

I'm still having trouble believing quite how warm and comforting and deliciously comfortable our duvet is. Wouldn't be without it for the world.

Having a duvet made from Southdown wool is lovely in itself, but how wonderful is it to also have thoroughly enjoyed the experience of buying it? `Great customer service´ is the beginning of the description, and it ends with: `wishing I could buy more so as to experience it again´. Congratulations on a well run business, and on those divine duvets.

My husband and I run a small Bed and Breakfast, three guest rooms, on the beautiful Isle of Mull, one of the Inner Hebridean Islands off the West coast of Scotland. For some time we have been struggling with the different types of duvets, blankets and bed linen required for the very different seasonal weather patterns. We can have four seasons in one day! And storing all this bedding is difficult. I had been researching all wool duvets for some time and came across Scotland Farm in England. They breed Southdown sheep specifically for their type of wool. The wool is sent to Italy where the duvets are beautifully made to a very high standard. So far, we have bought 2 doubles and a kingsize and we have subjected several guests to act as guinea pigs. The comments have all been positive. Warm, not heavy, no sweating, non allergenic (this was a big plus) and one man said he was impressed with the fact that when he turned over in bed, the bit that he turned to was already warm. One young couple were particularly enthusiastic and “had slept like babies". The Mull air might have helped! Whether the nights are warm or cold (and we have had some wild, wet and windy days) the duvets have worked so well and we are delighted with them. No more summer duvets, winter duvets, sheets and blankets, the next purchase will be for ourselves! I particularly enjoyed the obvious dedication of the owner and staff of Scotland Farm, a small business which is going places.

Thank you, the duvet is just as you and your site said. I was a tiny bit doubtful of all its cited benefits but having now had it a little while I can only say it has so helped my asthma (my husband is no longer experiencing nightmares triggered by my wheezing) temperature control is constant...no night sweats and it is lovely and light. I love it. An unexpected added bonus is my husband also looks younger for his peaceful much improved sleep!

Just wanted to say how happy I am with my Scotland Farm wool duvet. It is light and comfortable and best of all leaves no dust or feathers! I have always gone for natural-filling duvets however the thought had crossed my mind as to how cruelty-free the process was in collecting the feathers. It is great to know that there is a more humane and local alternative.

This is a great product. My wife had been having hot sweats at night, waking up in discomfort. We were using a high-quality goose down duvet. We then started using one of Scotland Farm's lambswool duvets and hey presto, no more night sweats and a perfect night's rest for both of us.

I absolutely love my wool duvet and I am sleeping SO much better. I didn't quite believe all the claims made for the wool duvet (not made by you, but general internet research), even though I desperately wanted to! Well I'm pleased to say that I've been proved wrong - I am sleeping so well, I'm never too hot or too cold in bed, and the quality of my sleep has improved enormously. It took a while to get used to the lack of weight, my old duvet was thick and heavy, not good qualities, but I had got used to that unnecessary weight. I was sceptical that my new duvet would be warm enough, but it most certainly is! I can't recommend this duvet enough, it's amazing and I wish I'd bought one years ago. Your customer service is excellent, a quality sadly missing from a lot of service providers today. Thank you for a totally personal, high quality 'virtual' shopping experience!

I try living as naturally as possible - difficult in London but I try. After years of living a third of my life under synthetic and down duvets I visited Scotland Farm. There, moved by the incredible care lavished on the animals, and seduced by the wholesome atmosphere and the natural beauty I ordered a Southdown duvet. To be honest it was rather a non-event. I slept well, but then I always do. A few months later however, I tried my old duvet again. After two fitful and clammy nights I returned with alacrity (and some gratitude) to my new woollen one. I am amazed at what my body had learnt to tolerate and I shudder at the long term damage those duvets may have done to my health. Whatever theoretical notions I had held regarding the benefits of naturally, lovingly and ethically produced goods has now been confirmed beyond doubt. I can't recommend these duvets highly enough.

Just to say that I bought a woollen duvet from you 3 months ago and whether by accident or design my sleep pattern has improved out of all recognition since I started using the duvet. This is either an amazing coincidence or an amazing duvet. The Southdown duvet is clearly such a quality product that my vote is for the duvet over coincidence!
