Casper Duvet Review Breakdown

All three Casper duvets incorporate down or a down alternative in the fill. Down is a type of soft undercoating situated below goose or duck feathers. It is popular in bedding and winter clothing for its ability to provide insulation while still remaining breathable. Casper constructs the duvets with individually sewn chambers to keep the fill fluffy and prevent it from shifting.

Each duvet suits varying sleep preferences. The Casper Humidity Fighting Duvet is engineered to keep hot sleepers cool, with a layer of merino wool and a breathable cotton shell intended to prevent heat and moisture buildup. In addition to its standout temperature regulation, the duvet is also noticeably soft to the touch.

Materials and Construction

All three Casper duvets are sold in twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California king sizes. The Down Duvet features a traditional construction with a down fill and a cotton cover, and the Down Alternative Duvet offers an option for ethically minded shoppers. Of the three duvets, the Humidity Fighting Duvet is the most suitable for hot sleepers.

The Casper Humidity Fighting Duvet contains a soft down fill with 750 fill power. Fill power describes down’s ability to puff up after being compressed, so down with a higher fill power has more loft than down with a lower fill power. A fill power of 750 is considered slightly higher than average, meaning the Humidity Fighting Duvet is relatively lightweight while still being fluffy.

Casper has adopted several techniques to counteract the natural tendency of down to trap heat, including a breathable cotton cover and a layer of merino wool. Merino wool has finer fibers than standard wool, producing a strong yet lightweight material with above-average moisture-wicking abilities. This layer is designed to keep sleepers cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and it may also help reduce odor buildup.

Pricing Information

The Casper Humidity Fighting Duvet and the Down Duvet both have an average price-point compared to other down-filled duvet inserts. The added layer of merino wool raises the price of the Humidity Fighting Duvet, but the higher cost may be worthwhile for sleepers who tend to run hot.

Down bedding typically commands a premium due to its superior performance and the effort and expense that goes into collecting the material. The average down duvet may cost between $150 and $400 depending on the quality of the down and the fill power.

Alternative down is not as soft, and it doesn’t insulate as well. However, it is much less costly to produce, which is why the Casper Down Alternative Duvet is the most affordable of the three.

Duvet Performance Ratings

The Casper Humidity Fighting Duvet is designed for shoppers who enjoy the soft, plush feel of down, but want more breathability. The duvet’s unique design and high-quality materials earn it above-average ratings across all performance categories.

Down is a naturally soft and cozy fill material. However, it is also known to retain heat, which can dissuade hot sleepers. Including a layer of merino wool in the duvet helps wick away moisture and improve temperature neutrality. The breathable cotton cover feels crisp and soft, making the duvet a suitable choice for all seasons.

The Humidity Fighting Duvet has sewn-in chambers to help prevent the fill from shifting and clumping. The duvet can be machine washed on the gentle cycle and tumble dried on low heat, and it should have a long lifespan if properly cared for.

Care and Cleaning

All three Casper duvets can be machine washed in cold water on a gentle cycle, and tumble dried on low. It’s best to wash the duvet with similar colors to prevent other dyes from bleeding into the shell. Since each Casper duvet includes sewn-in chambers, the fill should hold its shape in the washer and dryer. Be sure to check the weight limits of your household washer and dryer before using them to clean the duvet, and wash the duvet in a commercial laundromat if necessary.

Avoid using fabric softeners and chlorine bleach, as these can interfere with the down’s natural properties. Adding a few tennis balls to the dryer may help prevent clumping. You may need to periodically stop the dryer and fluff up the duvet insert before continuing with the drying process. Always ensure the duvet is fully dry before storing it or placing it back on the bed, and avoid over-compressing it for storage. There should be no need to iron your duvet.

Washing a down duvet insert can be a time-consuming process, and repeated washing may shorten its lifespan. Generally, duvet inserts are designed to be paired with a separate cover, which can protect the insert from the majority of stains and odors and lengthen the time between washes.
