Reaching a hotel room and not finding a duvet may seem strange, but it is becoming a trend. In 2025, several luxury units in France are abandoning traditional bulky blankets in the name of a new rest philosophy: lighter, hygienic and adaptable, according to the newspaper As.
For decades, the duvet was considered synonymous with warmth and luxury. However, reference hotel chains in Paris, Côte d’Azur and southern France are replacing this part with more versatile and adjustable climate solutions. The goal is to offer guests a personalized rest experience, combining well-being, design and sustainability.
The new concept privileges light and independent layers, which allow the temperature to regulate according to the season. For the colder months, there are additional blankets or mattresses with natural filling, and in summer, breathable fabrics keep freshness.
Weighted Manta
Among the most sought after news is the weighted blanket, which became the star of luxury suites, according to the same source. Initially used for therapeutic purposes, this blanket contains small glass spheres that distribute weight evenly, creating slight pressure on the body.
Combined with light cotton sheets, it can provide a smooth and engaging texture without generating excessive heat. In addition, its soothing effect has been studied by sleep and well-being specialists, reinforcing its presence in upper category hotels.
Sustainability, aesthetics and hygiene
Aesthetics has also changed. The beds became the central point of the room, dressed in several layers of natural fabrics such as Normandy washed linen, organic cotton, bamboo or cotton gauze. The colors follow a nature-inspired palette with tones of sand, olive green or soft blue.
But it’s not just a matter of appearance. The new system facilitates cleaning and maintenance, a priority reinforced after pandemic. Unlike traditional comforters, difficult to wash and dry, new blankets and blankets can be sanitized frequently, according to the same source.
From Hotel Hotels
The trend has already started to reach private homes. According to, brands such as Zara Home and Maison Du Monde have launched seasonal collections inspired by luxury hotels, with light -lavhed cotton and earthy tones designed to facilitate the transition between summer and fall.
It seems that the duvet is losing protagonism. The new generation of more hygienic, sustainable and relaxing blankets promises to transform the way we sleep.
