Materials and Construction
100% TENCEL™ Lyocell Cover: The Casper Down Alt Duvet features a 100% TENCEL™ Lyocell outer cover that’s soft and ultra-breathable, derived from sustainably sourced wood pulp fibre for natural moisture-wicking breathability.
Sewn-In Chamber Design: Inspired by performance outerwear, this down alt duvet uses a sewn-in chamber design that keeps the fluffy fill in place through the night, even as you shift positions.
Recycled Polyester Fill: The duvet insert is made from a recycled down alternative fibre: soft, cozy, medium-weight polyester from recycled water bottles that mimics down without the allergens.
Fit and Compatibility
The Casper Down Alternative duvet comes in three sizes: Twin/Twin XL, Full/Queen, and King/Cal King, each compatible with mattresses and sheets of the corresponding size. This duvet features four corner loops and four side loops that attach the insert to a duvet cover, keeping everything in place for uninterrupted comfort. A Casper Sateen Duvet Cover in Full/Queen fits perfectly over the matching Down Alt Duvet.
Comfort and Feel
The comfort offered by the Casper Canada Down Alt Duvet is unparalleled. The loft of the fill makes your bed look extra cozy, and sleeping under it feels like resting in a cloud: warm, cozy, and light rather than heavy. You still won’t overheat, since the TENCEL™ Lyocell cover stays breathable and airy, whether you’re a hot sleeper in summer or bundling up for a Canadian winter.
Care and Cleaning
This Down Alternative Duvet from Casper Canada is machine washable and dryer-safe. Clean on a gentle cycle in cold water (do not use bleach), then tumble dry low with clean tennis balls to keep the fill fluffy. Never iron or dry clean this duvet. A duvet cover is also recommended to protect the insert against sweat and stains between washes.
Availability, Shipping, and Returns
You can purchase the Casper Down Alternative Duvet on casper.ca or visit a Casper store. Orders include free shipping, returns, a 30-night risk-free trial, and a 1-year warranty on all Casper duvets. When we unboxed the Casper Canada Down Alt Duvet, it looked and felt like a cloud, draping perfectly over a Queen-size Casper Original Hybrid Mattress.
Should You Buy the Casper Down Alternative Duvet?
We love that the Casper Down Alternative Duvet is eco-friendly and mimics the softness of down. It’s a warm, cozy, yet airy mix: TENCEL™ Lyocell and recycled polyester keep hot sleepers from overheating, whether it’s a chilly night or a summer heat wave. This down alt duvet’s materials and construction make it one of the best down alternative duvets among Canadian brands. It also pairs well with Casper’s mattresses and bedding — overall, we decided it’s an amazing, premium duvet at an accessible price.
