What is a camel-hair duvet?
Camel hair is an exceptionally noble natural-hair fibre known for its temperature-regulating properties. Unlike many other natural hairs, camel hair is not shorn – it falls out naturally and is then gathered and cleaned by hand. This animal-friendly, resource-saving method of collection makes camel hair a sustainable premium material.
As the shed camel hair is limited in quantity and collection is time-consuming, camel hair is one of the more exclusive natural hairs on the market. This rarity also explains the price of high-quality camel-hair duvets – they are an investment in special quality.
Properties and benefits of camel-hair duvets
In its homeland a camel is exposed to extreme temperature swings – scorching heat by day, icy cold by night. It is precisely this natural climate adaptation of the camel-hair fibre that makes it so special for duvets.
- exceptionally temperature-regulating – cooling in summer, warming in winter
- feather-light and at the same time heat-retaining
- very breathable
- absorbs up to 30% of its own weight in moisture
- self-cleaning – practically never needs washing
- animal-friendly, resource-saving collection
The fine camel hair absorbs moisture and releases it again quickly – this ensures a pleasantly dry sleeping climate without any build-up of heat. The fibre acts like a natural air conditioner and adapts to the particular conditions of your bedroom.
Camel-hair duvet for every season
Unlike many other duvets, a camel-hair duvet is a genuine duvet for the whole year. In winter it feels snugly warming, in summer pleasantly cooling. Anyone looking for a single duvet for the whole year will find an ideal solution in the camel-hair duvet.
For particular warmth requirements there are also various warmth levels – from the light summer version to the warm winter duvet. You can find more comparison options in our Duvets with down duvets, eiderdown duvets and silk duvets.

Frequently Asked Questions about camel-hair duvets
How is camel hair obtained?
Camel hair is not shorn like sheep's wool, for example. Instead, the fine undercoat of the camels falls out by itself each year and is then gathered and cleaned by hand. This resource-saving and animal-friendly method of collection makes camel hair a sustainable premium material – but also a rare one, as the natural quantities are limited.
Is a camel-hair duvet suitable for every season?
Yes, that is the particular strength of camel hair. As camels are exposed to extreme temperature swings in their homeland, their hair has exceptionally temperature-regulating properties. In summer the duvet feels cooling, in winter warming. For particular warmth requirements there are also various warmth levels.
Do you have to wash a camel-hair duvet?
No. Camel hair is hydrophilic and has self-cleaning properties – washing is therefore not necessary and is also not recommended. Shake the duvet out gently in the morning and air it regularly. Should cleaning nevertheless become necessary at some point, take the duvet to a professional cleaning service.
How does camel hair differ from down?
Both materials are high-quality natural fillings, but they differ significantly. Down warms exceptionally effectively and is particularly light – ideal for the cool months. Camel hair, on the other hand, is temperature-regulating and thus a genuine solution for the whole year. Anyone looking for a duvet that cools in summer and warms in winter is well advised with camel hair. Anyone looking for maximum winter warmth will tend to reach for down.

For standard single beds, 135 × 200 cm is sufficient. From a body height of about 175 cm we recommend the comfort size 155 × 220 cm. For double beds, 200 × 200 cm or 200 × 220 cm are usual. Please do get in touch if your desired size is not listed – we also make special sizes.
