How do I fix a hole in my comforter?

Why is my feather duvet flat?

Yes, duvets can lose their warmth if the filling starts to lose its fluffiness and ability to trap air. Instead of feeling light and springy, it will feel flat and deflated. The lack of air could prevent you maintaining a comfortable body temperature. This is one of the main signs that it needs replacing.

Why does my duvet look lumpy?

Trapped moisture causes comforter filling to clump, and drying it out helps make the lumps easier to remove. After its sun soak, lay your comforter on a clean, smooth surface, such as a hardwood floor, and smooth it with your hands. Run your hands over the fabric in various directions to break up any clumps you feel.
