Where it all began for Devon Duvets

Our Journey

In 2008, Dick and Pauline Beijen embarked upon a journey with their two children, to start anew on a smallholding nestled in the heart of Dartmoor. They sought to embrace sustainability and add value to their local community by making use of local resources to benefit others, whilst keeping their family values alive.
 
Their passion for farming and the environment led them to the world of wool. They began breeding sheep for wool, and with their endless creativity, they developed a revolutionary idea - wool duvets. Together with their local mill, they developed a special way for the wool to be needled and created a unique duvet design which produced a luxurious and lofty duvet that embraced the body and draped as a duvet should.

Not only were they the first British wool duvets to be handcrafted in Britain, they were also a breakthrough in sleep technology, helping their customers to sleep better.
 
Their commitment to sustainable, eco-friendly practices quickly caught the eye of the legendary Monty Don, who featured them in his Channel 4 programme, My Dream Farm, in 2009 where you can see them setting up their business, Devon Duvets.
 
They’ve been spreading the magic of wool ever since, making a difference to British farmers and changing the way we sleep. Each product continues to be skillfully handcrafted in their own Devon workshop using the best, all-natural materials for an authentic British bedding experience.
 
Join Dick and Pauline on their adventure, where luxury meets sustainability and experience the joy of achieving a great night’s sleep.
