1.) What is an alpaca duvet?
An alpaca duvet consists of a filling of high-quality alpaca fibers. The fiber comes from alpacas, which are originally native to the Andes of South America.
The special structure of the alpaca fiber ensures that heat is stored, while moisture and excess heat can be released to the outside. This creates a balanced sleeping climate.
2.) The main advantages of an alpaca duvet
Excellent temperature regulation
Alpaca fibers provide warmth in the cold and at the same time help to dissipate excess heat. Learn more.
