So it was no surprise (sorry if it sounds like we’re blowing our own trumpet, but we are!) when one person who goes by the name of “Mary Poppins” wrote a blog post review on our sumptuous 9.0 Tog Mulberry Silk Spring/Autumn Duvet.

The blogger, who writes about family, home and crafts, was a willing volunteer to test our luxurious duvet and after the trial she claimed it was a top notch silk filled duvet!

The mum-of-two had watched the duvet video on our website and said she found it clear and informative and upon arrival of the product, she said the duvet was “wonderfully presented” and how she “couldn’t wait to unroll it and see how it felt.”

The satisfied customer added how she liked that all our duvets are box stitched so it is generously filled and distributed evenly to avoid lumps and that the 100% silk down and luxurious thread-count cotton made it one luxury duvet.

“Mary Poppins” wrote in her blog post how it was really cosy soft and fluffy and that she really rates us. What is more, our communications during ordering and delivery were “second to none”!

They say that with many criminals it is hard to catch them because they make a quick and speedy getaway but a latest burglar seems to have defied the odds.

The clumsy intruder was caught by police during a raid after falling asleep under a duvet.

The dozy burglar, called Robert Erdei of Camden, North London, has now been jailed for four years, after deciding to take a nap during his break-in.

The idiotic robber, aged 36, was sniffed out catching some zzzs under the bedding by a police dog called Led Zeppelin, after neighbours heard him breaking in and making a racket of noise.

The Mirror reported that he had got in to bed to “warm up” at the broken into house in Barnet, North London.

Wood Green Crown Court heard that the criminal also had a crowbar and gloves.

A police spokesman said of the incident: “A duvet is no match for Led Zeppelin. The man was caught red-handed.”

Talk about a “Dazed and Confused” situation for the burglar…

A Welsh MP has started sleeping in his Westminster office after claiming strict expense standards have resulted in him no longer being able to afford a London hotel.

David Davies, Conservative MP for Monmouth, has been sleeping on a blow-up mattress in his parliamentary office after failing to find an overnight stay near Westminster for less than the £130 allowance limit.

He has instead used his expenses to buy a £60 airbed and £15 duvet which he uses during the working week.

Mr Davies estimates that if he could buy a £500 bed and stay in the Commons on every overnight stay, he would save the taxpayer £80,000.

But he is only allowed to stay in his office occasionally because of Parliamentary Authority health and safety rules.

What Mr Davies needs is a nice comfortable Memory foam pillow, Goose down duvet and Goose down quilts.

Don’t get cold feet during the winter by ordering from Duvet and Pillow Warehouse today. 

Following a request from the European Commission, a panel on animal health and welfare were asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the practice of harvesting and collecting feathers from live geese for down production.

Experts on the Animal and Welfare (AHAW) Panel said that under current commercial conditions, plucking feathers, a way of collecting feathers, is unavoidable.

They recommend that a control system should be put in place to ensure that only moulting feathers are gathered from live geese.

The Working Group made use of information provided by stakeholders during a meeting held in May earlier this year; with experts from the feathers industry, in addition to information collected through a Public Consultation.

Findings from the opinion point out that brushing or combing live geese to collect moulting feathers causes no tissue damage, whereas pulling feathers out will result in pain. However, as different parts of the body moult at different times, some feathers may be unavoidably plucked when brushing and combing techniques are used.

Only feathers at the appropriate moulting phase should be gathered and that welfare-outcome indicators be put in place to ensure this is carried out in practice, such as by checking for the presence of skin tears or tissue on the feathers.

The main recommendation is that only ripe feathers should be removed from live geese. A control system should be in place to ensure this is carried out in practice or, alternatively, feathers should be removed by the person using a brushing or combing procedure so that only ripe feathers can be gathered. Grasping of feathers should be avoided.

Suffering should be avoided or minimised when catching and handling the geese, and geese should never be carried by the neck, legs or by one wing, be thrown or dropped, or be restrained by sitting on the neck or body of the bird. Operators should be aware of good animal handling methods and the differentiation between ripe and unripe feathers.

Rather a disturbing story this morning, but it seems young prisoners at Forest bank Prison, in Salford, Greater Manchester are being tied up with bed linen and beaten by other inmates.

Revealed during an inspection, the attacks also known as ‘sheeting’, which were recorded on a number of occasions, have been condemned by the Chief Inspector of Prisons Nick Harwick as “serious bullying” which must stop.

It has been revealed that a young vulnerable man came forward and described how he was being tied up inside a duvet cover and ‘battered’ every night.

Mr Hardwick told the BBC: “A prisoner was forcibly put inside a duvet cover and the opening knotted so that he could not release himself while perpetrators carried out random acts of violence.

“Prisoners told us that it was common and we met a number of young people who had clearly been victimised in this way.

“We were concerned that for a small minority of prisoners, it was not at all safe and in some cases, prison officers on the wings had a passive attitude to bullying and unexplained injuries – however good the policies,” he added.

According to the report Forest Bank, a privately-run prison for adult and young adult men, had 1,424 inmates at the time of the inspection between June 29 and July 9.

The A1 wing was where most of the incidents of sheeting took place and inmates identified “serious concerns about their safety”, the inspectors said.

Now the chief inspector has called for the prison which is one of the largest jails in the UK, to investigate “the actual level of violence and bullying on A1 wing, use this information to inform the anti-bullying strategy, and work actively with prisoners to eradicate sheeting”.

Michael Spurr, Chief executive officer of the National Offender Management Service (NOMS), said: “The issues about safety for some prisoners are however, a concern and they are now being urgently addressed by the director and his senior managers.”
