PREMIUM SLEEP COMFORT WITHOUT THE BULKY DUVET FEELING

Exclusive Alpaca duvets

You should not have to choose between sleeping comfortably and feeling weighed down by your duvet. Our Alpaca duvet is designed for customers who seek refined, lightweight natural fibre comfort throughout the year, without sweating, overheating or allergic reactions – all the while being kinder to the planet and supporting South African small business.
Elevate your sleep with nature’s luxury cocoon, filled with the softest and lightest ethically sourced Alpaca fleece, that provides the best sleep possible. Often called the King of fibres, Alpaca fibre is a luxurious, soft, and warm fibre that is hypoallergenic, water-resistant and anti-microbial, making it ideal for sensitive skin. Alpaca fibre has superior thermal properties thanks to its hollow structure. Due to its hollow fibre structure, weight for weight, an Alpaca duvet is up to 60% warmer than the equivalent wool duvet. Please consider our lightweight and cooler wool duvet if you get hot at night and struggle with night sweats.
  • Temperature regulating to keep you warm in winter
  • Hypoallergenic to reduce puffy, itchy eyes and sneezing
  • Ideal for asthma and allergy sufferers thanks to lanolin-free Alpaca fleece
  • Regulates temperature to keep you comfortable
  • Natural Alpaca fibres promote skin breathability and create a cool, dry environment
  • Alpaca fleece is naturally soft and lightweight
  • Soft drape over both your body and bed
  • Naturally dust mite free and repels odours
  • Breathable and durable 100% cotton casing
  • Meticulously crafted by artisans to adhere to international quality standards
  • Our unique quilted duvet design keeps the filling in place and ensures no clumping or movement

Air your duvet, mattress topper, or pillows in indirect sunlight every 2–3 months to keep them fresh. Turn once during airing and limit direct sun exposure to 60–90 minutes, as excessive heat can cause shrinkage.

Every few months, vacuum your duvet insert or mattress topper to circulate air through the fibres and reduce moisture build-up. Occasionally leave your bed unmade in the morning to allow overnight moisture to evaporate.

Always use a duvet cover, pillow protector, and pillowcase to protect your bedding.

Do not machine wash or dry clean your wool bedding. Domestic washing machines and dry-cleaning chemicals can permanently shrink, felt, or harden the fibres. Our wool is not pre-shrunk, and the fibres retain their natural memory, making them especially sensitive to heat, agitation, and chemicals.

For minor marks, spot clean only using a very gentle soap such as Boereseep. A diluted hydrogen peroxide solution or Londa Bio Oxy Bleach may also be used. Dry the area gently with a hairdryer.

For deeper cleaning of a soiled area:

  • Fill a bath or bucket with cool water and dissolve a mild detergent before use.
  • Suitable options include Woollite, Boereseep, Londa Bio Oxy Bleach, or Londa Bio Laundry Powder.
  • Do not use fabric softener.
  • Submerge only the affected area and soak for about an hour.
  • Gently move the area in the water without rubbing, wringing, or agitating.
  • Rinse using water at the same temperature to avoid felting.
  • Press out excess water gently and air dry flat, out of direct sunlight, until completely dry.

Our pillows feature a zippered outer casing with a removable inner wool sleeve. The outer casing can be washed separately, while the wool filling may be refreshed in sunlight for 1–2 hours. Do not wash or dry clean the wool itself. For personalised comfort, you may remove some wool filling and store it in a breathable cotton bag or pillowcase.

Avoid exposing your bedding to prolonged direct sunlight, damp conditions, or extreme temperatures.

When not in use, always store your duvet, mattress topper, or pillows in a breathable cotton bag — never plastic. Do not vacuum pack wool bedding.

Tips for Humid Climates

  • Use a dehumidifier where possible.
  • Air wool-filled items more frequently.
  • Vacuum duvet inserts and mattress toppers regularly to improve airflow through the fibres.
  • While wool naturally resists mould and mildew, regularly check your bed base or slats for any signs of moisture or mould growth.
Filled with pure Karoo Alpaca fibre, these duvets have an ultra-soft pure cotton 200 thread-count Percale cover, quilted in a block design to ensure the filling doesn’t migrate to the sides of the duvet. White binding on the edges finish the duvet off beautifully, and the duvet has rounded corners.

Your order is handcrafted in South Africa by skilled artisans. Reserve your place in our next production batch. 

Experience the ultimate in luxury when sleeping under a 100% natural Alpaca-fleece duvet. 

Our Alpaca fleece has been sourced from South African farmers. This beautiful fleece is encased in 300 thread count Egyptian cotton, making it incredibly soft and light. This makes a duvet inner that is light, wonderfully temperature regulating and utterly luxurious. 

A Karoo Creations Alpaca-fleece duvet is naturally low in allergens. Their fibre make-up is resistant to dust mites. This means less sneezing and itchy eyes.

The natural fibres allow your body to regulate temperature more easily than man-made fibres (or down/feathers) with the additional benefit of the wicking properties of natural wool, allowing the moisture from your body’s natural respiration to leave the duvet. 

Compared to a down or feather duvet an Alpaca-fleece duvet is just as lightweight. We cannot give a TOG measurement for our duvets. TOG ratings measure insulting power. An Alpaca-fleece duvet keeps your body at the perfect temperature for sleep by allowing heat to dissipate into the surrounding atmosphere. A down, feather or polyester filled duvet traps the heat. This is what causes you to overheat, sweat and eventually having to throw off the duvet.

An Alpaca-fleece duvet is measured in GSM – grams per square metre.  The Alpaca-fleece is carefully weighed before being quilted into our duvets. This means that your body stays at the perfect sleeping temperature throughout the night.

TRULY SUSTAINABLE, SOUTH AFRICAN DUVETS

Your sleep, perfected.

Experience the difference that natural fibres make to your sleep.

Handcrafted from nature’s finest materials, our bedding is exceptionally breathable, naturally temperature regulating, and beautifully soft, helping you stay comfortably warm in winter and cool in summer.

Unlike synthetic alternatives, natural fibres wick away moisture, promote healthier sleep, give off no chemical off-gassing, and are designed to last for decades.

The result is an effortless sense of quiet luxury—beautiful bedding that not only feels exquisite but creates a restorative sleep experience, night after night.

Elevate your nightly ritual with the unmatched breathability of natural fibers from the beautiful Karoo plains.
 
While conventional down and synthetic polyester bedding trap heat and cause night-time discomfort, our sustainably sourced wool, Alpaca and Mohair bedding products act as a personal climate control system. By actively wicking away moisture and releasing excess heat, they create a perfectly dry, beautifully balanced microclimate that guarantees uninterrupted, restorative rest.
 
Indulge in a healthier, allergen-free sanctuary designed for beautiful sleep. Free from the synthetic chemical off-gassing of polyester and the dust-mite risks of traditional down, these biodegradable bedding items offer a pure, hypoallergenic sleep environment. Experience the pinnacle of sustainable luxury and transform your bedroom into a refined oasis of compromise-free comfort.

This is the best duvet I have ever owned. It definitely tops my goose down duvets. It was beautifully packaged. The quality and stitching is pure art. The duvet is light, yet sufficiently warm on cold nights and still the perfect temperature on warm nights. Highly recommended.
