This winter, it's all about quiet luxury and nothing says cosy elegance like a beautiful eiderdown. Forget the mass-produced duvets; we believe in a bed that is as unique as you are. That's why our handmade eiderdowns are not just bedding, they're a statement.
Our approach at The Dormy House is calm and uncomplicated: begin with breathable bed linen, choose a naturally warm duvet and supportive pillows, then finish with an eiderdown for softness, depth and that quietly tailored look. Because our pieces are thoughtfully designed to work together, building a bed you love is pleasing rather than fussy and the result is as practical as it is beautiful.
The Eiderdown: Warmth With Polish
An eiderdown is the hero of an autumn/winter bed. Ours are handmade in England and filled with a natural feather-and-down mix that’s breathable, plump and comfortably warm without heaviness. The square-quilted design keeps the fill even, while the fully reversible construction lets you change the mood with a simple flip - think a quiet plain one side and a favourite pattern on the reverse.
Available from single to super king, it’s the quickest way to give a bed that generous, well-dressed silhouette that feels inviting the moment you walk in. Choose a fabric from our collection or send your own for a truly bespoke finish. A gentle shake on arrival helps the eiderdown regain its loft; rotate it every so often and it will keep its cloud-soft feel season after season.
Unlike anywhere else, we invite you to customise your eiderdown to suit your exact style. Choose from our exquisite collection of The Dormy House fabrics, or, for a truly bespoke finish, send us your own fabric to create a piece that perfectly matches your bedroom. Our fully reversible, square-quilted design allows you to mix and match fabrics, so you can flip it over for a fresh look whenever you like.
Underlayers that Matter
Cold-weather comfort starts with what you sleep under. A beautifully dressed bed is more than just an eiderdown. Our Duvets - luxury duck feather and down are filled with white duck down and feather for lovely loft and natural insulation, then stitched in a box construction so the fill can’t wander, and cold spots don’t creep in. Choose 10.5 or 13.5 tog depending on your room and how you like to sleep; the down-proof 100% cotton cover (230 thread count) is breathable and neatly bound.
The range is Nomite approved, which is reassuring for house dust mite allergy sufferers and the duvets are machine-washable for easy care. Pair with our Pillows - luxury duck feather and down in a down-surround design that combines that sink-in softness with gentle support; these too have a breathable, down-proof 230 thread count cotton casing and are machine-washable. Together they create a cosy foundation that you can fine-tune with your eiderdown as temperatures drop.
Linen is the quiet luxury you feel every night. Our white Duvet covers are offered in two thread counts - 400 for airy smoothness and 1000 for that exquisite, winter-lux finish - with Oxford or plain edges for the look you love. Match with Pillowcases in housewife or Oxford styles across the same thread counts and anchor everything with a Fitted sheet that actually fits. The sheet’s generous 38 cm box depth hugs deeper mattresses neatly, so it stays smooth through the night and looks freshly made in the morning. If you like mixing textures, try a 400-thread count fitted sheet with 1000 thread count pillowcases, then let your eiderdown bring colour or pattern to the scheme.
Quiet protectors make a clear difference in winter. Our quilted cotton Mattress & pillowcase protector fits like a fitted sheet and, with a 15" (38 cm) depth, suits modern mattresses beautifully. It adds a whisper of cushioning, helps regulate feel across the season and keeps everything fresher for longer - a small, satisfying upgrade when you’re leaning into cosy nights.
Frame the Look
A tailored base frames the whole bed and subtly elevates the room. If you like clean lines, our made-to-measure Kick Pleated Valance brings crisp sides and neat corners, with optional centre pleats for a hotel-smart finish. If you prefer a softer, romantic fall, the fully lined Gathered valance offers a gracious drape that sits beautifully with patterned eiderdowns and cushions. Both are custom-made to your measurements in a The Dormy House fabric or one you send to us, and you specify the drop, so the hem skims the floor just so - a detail that makes the bed look dressed rather than covered.
For an extra layer of texture when the temperature dips, add one of our Bed throws. Choose a lined throw for a light polish or a quilted, interlined design for added warmth; each is made to measure in your chosen fabric, with the option of rounded or square corners. Draped over the lower third of the bed or folded across the foot, a throw brings depth and looks wonderful teamed with an eiderdown during the coldest months.
For the Little Sleepers
The same principles scale perfectly for children’s rooms. Our Children’s Eiderdowns bring that plump, reversible quilting in smaller proportions - ideal for topping a neatly made single or daybed and for adjusting warmth night by night. Choose coordinating or contrasting fabrics to keep the room feeling playful yet calm, and pair with breathable cotton pillowcases and a well-fitting sheet for an easy, comfortable set-up that looks after sleep as much as style.
Care and Styling Made Simple
Good habits make a visible difference. Each morning pull back the covers for a few minutes so the bed can breathe, smooth the linen and give the eiderdown a gentle shake so the quilting settles flat. Rotate or flip it from time to time to keep the loft even. When extra layers aren’t in use, store them in a cool dry place - an storage ottoman at the foot of the bed keeps everything close to hand.
Balance the look to suit your room. If your headboard carries the pattern, let the top layer be quieter; if the headboard is simple, introduce pattern or piping for texture and colour. Keep linen calm and tactile and frame the base with a tailored valance so the room feels intentional and welcoming. For extra depth, add a quilted throw and enjoy that first soft exhale as you climb in.
