Product Insights
The Simons Maison Lightweight Boreal Duvet is a featherlight, breathable summer duvet for hot sleepers, featuring a 280-thread-count organic cotton shell with a 10–17 oz (17 oz King) 500 fill power down fill that prevents overheating. Its key tradeoff is a crinkling sound and slight sheen from the downproof weave. The duvet combines Responsible Down Standard certified down and organic cotton for ethical, hypoallergenic, and pilling-resistant comfort, is machine washable, and at $190 CAD for a Twin is the most affordable Canadian-made duvet with responsible-down certification.

Whoosh
Dreamy comfort

Light and airy. Slightly warmer but not too much for hot sleepers. And it has elastics in the corners to secure your duvet cover in place – love that!

Je l’ai échangé pour la Boréale en magasin à la réception de la légère donc je ne peux l’évaluer. Mais par contre la Boréale je lui donne cinq étoiles. Merci.

The weight and feel of
The weight and feel of this duvet is what i was looking for. It just sounds a bit crackly when using it. . Maybe as it will be used more the noise will go away.

Cloud like
I love this duvet. It is the thinnest/lightest one I have. I have chronic pain, and love how light but still warm this is. I'll see if it's enough in the winter. I have 2 Hotels le Germain pillows and a mattress pillow from 2020, and love them all. My mom ordered the duvet as well, and also kept it.
Très léger
Forte odeur de duvet. Besoin de beaucoup d'aération.
Super Lightweight
Very good quality product
Lightweight and excellent quality
Exactly what we expected and paid for.
Agréable
Comme décrit dans la majorité des commentaires
Pratiquement aucun duvet...
Le modèle d'exposition (vu dans 2 magasins - Ste-Foy et Galeries de la Capitale) ne correspond pas du tout au modèle vendu. D'abord, les carreaux du modèle d'exposition contenaient beaucoup plus de duvet et étaient beaucoup plus petits en largeur/hauteur que le modèle vendu. De plus, le modèle vendu contient très peu ou pratiquement aucun duvet par carreau. Deux conseillères peuvent témoigner, à leur propre stupéfaction. Dommage, surtout au prix demandé!
Couette boréale
Je l’adore.
Just what we wanted
Although this duvet is very light, it still provides adequate warmth. I highly recommend it to anyone who finds regular duvets too heavy.
Noise
The material covered the duvet makes noises when handles but the weight is great for kids
Great service and product
I ordered online and within a few days, I received the email that my order has arrived. I'd return to order more!
Happy Sleeper
Great duvet! Keeps you cool and warm all at the same time.
Not what I expected
I’m not impressed with the material that covers this duvet, it’s got a shine to it, quite noisy. However the duvet is warm and comfortable.
Très bien

This duvet is beautiful. Nice and light, with tightly woven fabric to keep the feathers in. It crackles when you pull it up to your chin. Love it

Comforter
The comforter is extremely light seems to be a quality great purchase.
Not gots or gols certified
Seems like a nice duvet however buy with caution especially if you are sensitive to chemicals. I bought this duvet because of it's organic cotton cover. At least I hope it really is. It is not certified organic by gots and the manufacturing process is not certified by gols so it's hard to know for sure. I normally do not buy organic that is not certified but the price was good and I am trusting Simon's that the cover is organic as stated so I will not have a negative reaction to it. I hope Simon's takes this review seriously and considers having their organic products certified by gots and gols.
Un peu mince
Un peu mince à mon avis. Fait du bruit, comme un froissement. Odeur étrange au début, sûrement dû à la composition de la bourre (duvet). Idéal par contre pour l'été, garde au frais.

Fresh and crispy
Lightweight, soft and keeps cool at night. Wonderful, love it !
WoW
Cette couette est vraiment confortable et contrairement aux gens qui n'aime pas l'odeur, personnellement, elle ne m'a pas incommodé. Pour le prix, j'ai attendu un an pour l'acheter en rabais, mais elle vaut le prix sans le rabais. C'est vraiment un bon achat. Petit conseil, il faut secouer la couette à plusieurs reprise pour que le duvet se place s'étendre correctement. J'aime Simons !
Satisfaite
Bon produit, chaud, mais pas trop.
Exactly what I was looking for
This duvet is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a lightweight yet warm enough duvet. It is perfect, good quality.
The feel of the crunch of the cotton
This is the perfect duvet, lightweight and warm and fresh, I use it all year. I have tried numerous duvets in the past they have failed my difficult test. Please do not change a thing, it’s perfection.

Nice summer weight duvet
Nice and thin which is exactly what I wanted. Fill is perfect for summer weight. The duvet is fluffy and you feel cozy without the heat.
très douillet
on dort comme des anges…chacun notre couette dans un king..le bonheur….
Very little fill
When this was held up to the light, you could see very little fill in each of the squares. It doesn't seem like it would be at all warm. Returning it.

Duvet manquant
Des carreaux complètement vide. Ils économisent le duvet. Ce n'est pas sérieux!
Parfaite en tous points
J'adore cette couette! Elle est à la fois chaude et légère. :-)
Best summer duvet
Very pleased with this ultra light duvet .
Good summer weight duvet
This duvet is just the right weight for summer, and the natural fibres and cover are good too. The only issue we found is that is a bit noisy…crinkly when you move it around, but it’s getting better with use. Just a bit stiff when new.
Parfaite couette
J’adore cette couette pour 2 raisons, elle nous enveloppe d’une douce chaleur et elle est légère mais pas trop non plus, on ressent quand même son léger poids. C’est exactement ce que je voulais
Couette d’été
Beaucoup plus légère qu’une couette d’hiver ou 4 saisons, comme je recherchais. Sceptique au déballage, voyant les goussets de duvet peu remplis, une fois secoué, le duvet se réparti et gonfle. À refaire périodiquement. Beau coton serré, un peu craquant, ce que je ne remarque plus une fois dans une housse de couette. Confortable, pas trop chaud pour moi, mais peut-être « limite » pour quelqu’un qui a chaud facilement.
