Test result preview
The all-season duvet from Befa is a duvet with an attractive design that can be used on both warm and cold days without any problems. Thanks to the microfibre technology, it feels pleasant against the skin without being too heavy or too light. The material quality is very well made, so that the tear resistance is correspondingly high. No significant negative disadvantages were identified during the entire product test.
Advantages
- Pleasant skin feel
- High tear resistance

The test
General information
We took a close look at and tested the product in a practical test. In the following, we take a closer look at the features and impressions. From the packaging, materials and quality to the range of functions and handling, the product is subjected to our test procedure.
To give you a quick overview, we work with a points system. The maximum achievable score per area is 100 points. The final overall score is calculated from the average of all tested features, taking into account the respective weighting. For a detailed insight into our comprehensive evaluation process, which forms the basis of all our product ratings, please click here.
The first impression
Packaging and contents
Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The product is delivered in a sturdy cardboard box that adequately protects the contents during transport. The carrier bag arrived without any damage or dents. The zip is undamaged, as is the blanket inside. It should be noted that both the carrier bag and the paper film are recyclable, making this a very sustainable product. The product is self-explanatory in its function and does not require any instructions for use. The cleaning instructions on the blanket are a positive highlight.

The all-season duvet has a classic white and friendly design so that it stands out but is not overpowering in terms of colour. The seams are very fine and detailed, both on the surface and in the corners and edges, without any seam or production residue protruding. The surface feels the same across the entire rug. The entire product is manufactured and shipped without plastic, so sustainability plays a major role.

*Themaximum score is 100 points
In the practical test, the breathability of the all-season duvet was first tested so that it could also be used on hot days. It passed this test perfectly, so that the duvet could be used comfortably and without any problems even on warm nights. The noise level was unusually low for a duvet and was not disturbing and barely perceptible in a quiet room. As a 135×200 duvet, it fits exactly on the mattress but slips slightly when sleeping, so the duvet rarely needs to be adjusted. The seams are very fine and detailed so that they can withstand the force of an adult. No skin irritation or stains occurred during the three-day test, so the mattress is also suitable for people with sensitive skin.

Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
Finally, we analyse how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

*Themaximum score is 100 points
At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.
Prices of up to €79.99 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €54.95 . The all-season duvet from Befa® is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €59.90. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
