A topper provides protection for your bed and mattress. Additionally, it offers extra sleeping comfort. A topper is not essential, but it is recommended.

Pillows

I slept in Van der Valk hotel x, is this the same main pillow?

It is difficult for us to check which pillow you slept on during your stay, as multiple pillows are used per hotel. The pillows in our webshop are currently used by most hotels and are of very good quality. If you have a photo of the label, we can check which pillow this was.

Duvets

What is the difference between the duvets?

It can sometimes be difficult to see what exactly the difference is between the duvets. We have 4 different types:

  1. Comfort 4-season duvet: this is a slightly thinner duvet than the other 3 duvets.
  2. Suite 4-season duvet: this is a duvet that is very light and airy. So almost no weight falls around you. Good quality.
  3. 4-season duvet 2-piece: this is a duvet that consists of 2 parts; a summer part and an autumn part. These can be clicked together using snap buttons to form a winter duvet.
  4. Ecodown synthetic down duvet: this is a duvet with a down filling. This is very good quality and is found in most hotels. This duvet "crackles" as many people call it. It falls very well around the body and is slightly heavier than the suite duvet. This duvet is found in most hotels.

What duvet is in the hotels?

It is difficult for us to check which duvet you slept under during your stay, as multiple duvets are used per hotel. The duvets in our webshop are currently used by most hotels and are of very good quality. If you have a photo of the label, we can check which duvet this has been.

How does it work with the heat class?

Heat class 1 is the warmest and thickest. Heat class 4 is thinner and colder. So the lower the number, the warmer the duvet.

Can the duvets still be returned?

The duvets can still be returned as long as they have not been slept on and are still in the original packaging. The return cost is 4.95 euros.

What is the warmest and coldest duvet?

Heat class 1 is the warmest and thickest, while heat class 4 is thinner and colder. So the lower the number, the warmer the duvet. In this case, the summer duvet is the coldest, and the 4-season 2-part duvet can be made the warmest.

Bedding

Is it necessary to use both a fitted sheet and a mattress protector on my mattress?

A fitted sheet is essential. A mattress protector is not essential, but it is recommended for extra protection of your mattress and topper.

Is there a tuck-in strip on the covers and how big is it?
