The all-season duvet consists of 100% recycled PET bottles, both in terms of filling and covering. This makes the blanket breathable, antistatic, moisture-regulating and, despite its thickness, very light. After opening the plastic packaging, the blanket inflated with air and unfolded its full size and thickness on the bed. Due to its thickness, it was a little difficult to fit into the duvet cover. Notably, it didn't smell of pollutants and felt very clean and soft. The feeling of sustainability was also convincing. Despite consumption, substances from the environment were recycled and processed into something new.
