Furnishing a home
Where to Buy Furniture in Portugal
If I were furnishing a place in Portugal today, I’d start with IKEA or Conforama for the basics, then get the pieces I really care about, like a sofa or a dining table, made by a Portuguese manufacturer.
Second-hand is harder than you’d expect, and almost nothing arrives as quickly as you’d like. That’s the whole plan. The rest of this page is the detail, including what everything actually costs.
And if you’ve only just arrived, whether you’re renting or have bought a house, the best furniture decision might be not to make one yet. More on that below ↓.
The short version
- Where most people start: IKEA. A bed, mattress, sofa, wardrobe and dining set came to about €1,100 there in October 2026, and no other chain we checked beat it. See the price basket ↓
- Is IKEA cheaper in Portugal? Yes, mostly. Eight common IKEA products cost about 18% more in the UK and over 60% more in the US. More ↓
- The Portuguese option: furniture made to order in the Paços de Ferreira area, near Porto. You can order it from showrooms all over the country, choose the fabric, and wait two to three months. More ↓
- Second-hand: used IKEA pieces are often listed at 50–90% of the new price, so the savings are small. Older solid-wood furniture and sofas are where the bargains are. More ↓
- Renting furniture: not really an option. Rent a furnished apartment instead. More ↓
- Delivery: plan on weeks for stock items and months for anything made to order, and check whether delivery includes carrying it inside. More ↓

What it costs
How Much Does It Cost to Furnish a Home in Portugal?
Short answer
The same five basics (a double bed, mattress, three-seat sofa, wardrobe and dining set) cost about €1,165 at IKEA Portugal in October 2026, compared with about €1,260 at JYSK, €1,415 at Conforama, €1,460 at JOM and €1,560 at Moviflor. IKEA was the cheapest chain overall, though not on every item.
I picked a normal, mid-range version of each item at each chain: not the cheapest thing in the catalog, and not the designer range. Prices are full price unless marked, and were checked on 5 October 2026. Click any item to see today’s price.
| Item | IKEA | JYSK | JOM | Moviflor | Conforama |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Double bed frame | MALM 140×200 €169 | OLSKER 140×190 €249 (€200 on sale) | Dubai Cz 150×195 €379 | Escale 140 €279 | Night Dream 140×190 €179 |
| Double mattress | VALEVÅG pocket spring €229 | STRIA pocket spring €185 | Alper Conforto €197 | Repose hybrid €399 | Molaflex Essential Firm 140×200 €359 |
| 3-seat sofa | KIVIK €449 (€399 on sale) | FALSLEV €349 | Sintra €429 | Dakota €399 | GEORGY €399 (€329 on sale) |
| 3-door wardrobe | KLEPPSTAD €149 | FANDRUP €200 | Industria Silves €279 | Space €139 | MOKARIS €289 (€199 on sale) |
| Table + 4 chairs | HÄGERNÄS, solid pine €169 | AGERBY + JONSTRUP €275 | YS2524 €179 | Diijon + Matera chairs €348 | AMINA €189 |
| Total | ≈ €1,165 €1,115 with the sofa on sale | ≈ €1,258 | ≈ €1,463 | ≈ €1,564 | ≈ €1,415 €1,255 with current sales |
Like-for-like isn’t perfect. JOM’s cheapest double bed takes a wider 150 cm mattress, Moviflor’s mattress is a thicker hybrid, and IKEA’s and JYSK’s bed frames don’t include slats. Conforama’s mattresses always show a crossed-out price twice as high, so I’ve used the price you’d actually pay.
What the numbers say
🏆
IKEA is the baseline
Cheapest overall, and the only chain where the solid-wood dining set cost less than the melamine ones elsewhere.
🤏
JYSK is close
Within about €100 of IKEA. Cheaper on mattresses and sofas, dearer on wardrobes and dining.
📈
Conforama, JOM and Moviflor cost more
About 20–35% more than IKEA across the basket, though Moviflor’s wardrobe was the cheapest one we found.
For comparison: second-hand and premium
| Item | Second-hand (typical asking price) | Area (design store) |
|---|---|---|
| Double bed frame | €130–250, often with mattress | from €649 |
| Double mattress | €65–170 | — |
| 3-seat sofa | €120–250 | €898 |
| Wardrobe | €100–150, mostly older solid wood | — |
| Table + 4 chairs | €150–230 | tables from €770 |
Second-hand prices are asking prices from Custo Justo listings on the same date, and sellers will often take less. OLX, the bigger site, blocks automated checks, so look there too.
IKEA at home vs. here
Is IKEA Cheaper in Portugal Than in the US or UK?
Short answer
Yes. Eight common IKEA products cost about €1,170 in Portugal at full price in October 2026, about €1,375 in the UK (18% more) and about €1,820 in the US (56% more, before sales tax). The products are identical, so if you’re weighing up shipping IKEA furniture from home, don’t.
| Product | Portugal | UK | US |
|---|---|---|---|
| BILLY bookcase | €55 | £55 (€65) | $79 (€71) |
| KALLAX shelf, 77×147 | €55 (€49.99 on sale) | £49 (€58) | $79.99 (€72) |
| LACK coffee table | €25 | £19 (€22) | $29.99 (€27) |
| POÄNG armchair | €69 | £80 (€94) | $149 (€133) |
| MARKUS office chair | €159 | £159 (€187) | $299.99 (€268) |
| KIVIK 3-seat sofa | €449 (€399 on sale) | £499 (€587) | $799 (€715) |
| LISABO dining table | €149 | £129 (€152) | $299.99 (€268) |
| MALM bed with slats | €209 (140×200) | £179 (€211), UK double | $299 (€267), queen |
Full prices checked on 5 October 2026, converted at €1 = £0.85 and €1 = $1.12. US prices exclude sales tax, so the real gap is bigger. Bed sizes differ: Portugal’s standard double is 140×200 cm, wider than a UK double and a little narrower than a US queen.
💡
Some of it is made here anyway
IKEA’s factory in Paços de Ferreira is one of the company’s largest, and almost everything it makes is exported. Some of the IKEA furniture in American and British homes started out about half an hour from Porto.
The stores
The Main Furniture Stores in Portugal, Compared
Short answer
The main furniture chains in Portugal are IKEA, Conforama, JYSK, JOM and Moviflor at the budget end, with Area and El Corte Inglés higher up. IKEA is cheapest overall; JOM has the best complaints record; Area and JYSK have the worst.
For each store, I’ve included what customers say, from Reddit threads, Portuguese forums and reviews, and its record on Portal da Queixa, Portugal’s main complaints site.
💡
How to read the complaints record
Portal da Queixa scores how well a company answers and resolves complaints, not how good its furniture is. Big chains get more complaints because they have more customers, so the resolution rate tells you more than the count.
IKEA
The baseline: the cheapest chain overall and the one most newcomers already know.
What people say: A Portuguese forum user summed it up as excellent value on some products and junk on others: the wardrobes are well designed, but beds and drawers wore out in two or three years. Another said furniture bought ten years ago is still fine but recent purchases feel flimsier. Expats generally praise the delivery that carries furniture into the room, the TaskRabbit assembly and the return policy. On r/portugal, people point out the modular ranges make it easy to add to later, and that the pricier ranges are genuinely good. The common complaint: your home looks like everyone else’s.
✓ Pros
- Cheapest basket of any chain we checked
- Same products as at home, so you know what you’re getting
- Large deliveries are carried into the room
- Easy returns and add-on pieces later
✗ Cons
- Generic: furniture you’d find anywhere
- Quality varies a lot between ranges
- Kitchen orders draw the most delivery complaints
- One r/portugal commenter says it doesn’t cope well with damp homes
Complaints record: about 4,800 complaints on Portal da Queixa, with 46% resolved.
Conforama
Better than IKEA for conventional sofas and matching bedroom sets, but buy what’s in the store.
What people say: Forum users say Conforama’s sofas beat IKEA’s on comfort and price and some prefer its designs, but lacquered finishes scratch easily. One buyer found delivery added 6% to the bill and assembly another 13%. The strongest advice, repeated on r/portugal: only buy what’s in stock in the store, because items ordered from the warehouse can take weeks longer than promised. Recent complaints include a sofa promised in seven days that took over three weeks.
✓ Pros
- Wide range, including appliances
- Good sofas for the price
- Stores in more towns than IKEA
✗ Cons
- Online and warehouse orders are often late
- Mattress “discounts” are permanent, so ignore the crossed-out price
- Some expats find the range dated
Complaints record: about 4,800 complaints on Portal da Queixa, with 76% resolved. Dozens of 2026 complaints are about late delivery.
JYSK
The closest thing to IKEA on price, especially for mattresses and beds.
What people say: Opinions split. Some like its designs more than IKEA’s and praise the prices. Others had bad luck: one r/portugal user received a dining set where half the chairs and the tabletop were broken, and another’s desk warped within two months. Recent reviews mention online orders arriving late and slow refunds. JYSK is expanding fast and opened its 35th Portuguese store in 2026, so it’s often the nearest option outside the big cities.
✓ Pros
- Prices very close to IKEA
- Cheap mattresses
- Stores in towns IKEA doesn’t reach
✗ Cons
- Quality is inconsistent
- Poor after-sales service
- Many items out of stock online
Complaints record: 290 complaints on Portal da Queixa, with only 20% resolved.
JOM
A step up from IKEA, with some Portuguese-made ranges and the best complaint handling of the big chains.
What people say: Forum users describe JOM furniture lasting ten years and two house moves, and say its sofas beat IKEA’s. The catch is price: it has both cheap and expensive ranges, but the basket came to about 25% more than IKEA. A commenter on r/PortugalExpats gave it bonus points for being made in Portugal. Recent complaints are the usual ones: late click-and-collect orders and the odd defective item.
✓ Pros
- Sturdier than IKEA, by most accounts
- Some furniture made in Portugal
- Resolves almost all complaints, quickly
✗ Cons
- About 25% more than IKEA for the same basket
- Few double beds in the 140 cm Portuguese standard size
- Made-to-order items can take up to 60 days
Complaints record: 526 complaints on Portal da Queixa, with 96% resolved. Top-rated of the big furniture chains.
Moviflor
Frequent sales, but more expensive than IKEA at full price.
What people say: Moviflor went bankrupt about a decade ago and reopened. One forum user found its pieces held up worse than IKEA’s after a move. Recent complaints mention slow responses to faulty sofas and deliveries that didn’t happen. It runs frequent promotions where it pays the VAT, which takes about 19% off. That’s worth waiting for if you’re buying a lot at once.
✓ Pros
- Big promotions several times a year
- Cheap wardrobes
- Assembly can be added for a fixed price
✗ Cons
- About 40% more than IKEA at full price
- Standard delivery only to the building entrance
- Thin and mixed reviews
Complaints record: 589 complaints on Portal da Queixa, with 90% resolved.
Area
The store Lisbon people suggest when IKEA isn’t nice enough. Expect to pay two to four times as much.
What people say: On r/PortugalExpats, Area is the go-to recommendation for a step up from IKEA, and the design gets praise. After-sales is the problem: recent reviews describe late made-to-order deliveries, refunds offered only as store credit, and defects nobody fixed. If you have a car, you can collect from its warehouse in Montijo rather than wait for delivery.
✓ Pros
- Better-looking than the big chains
- Stores in Lisbon and Cascais
- Warehouse collection in Montijo
✗ Cons
- Two to four times IKEA prices
- Long waits on made-to-order pieces
- The worst complaint record of the chains
Complaints record: 191 complaints on Portal da Queixa, with 20% resolved, last in its category.
El Corte Inglés
A department store with branded sofas and mattresses. Wait for the sales.
What people say: Readers say it’s usually overpriced but its sales are good. One commenter on r/PortugalExpats said it handles problems much better than Area. Another expat replaced a disappointing custom sofa with a comfortable one from El Corte Inglés. Recent complaints include a €2,000 sofa delivered in the wrong color and missing cushions.
✓ Pros
- Big brands under one roof
- Good sales
- Better after-sales than most, by reader accounts
✗ Cons
- Expensive outside the sales
- Only in Lisbon and Vila Nova de Gaia
- Furniture prices often not shown online
Complaints record: storewide figures only (3,600 complaints, 34% resolved), which mostly cover electronics and appliances.
Gato Preto
Mostly online now, with five stores left after its 2026 restructuring. Good sofas, long waits.
What people say: One r/portugal user didn’t expect to buy anything there but has been happy with their sofa for three years. That’s a common theme: the sofas get praise, the delivery doesn’t. One buyer ordered a sofa in January 2026 with a 60–90 working-day estimate and received it in late June. They were happy with it, but nobody kept them informed.
✓ Pros
- Well-reviewed sofas
- Resolves most complaints
- Homeware as well as furniture
✗ Cons
- Sofas take three to five months
- Only five stores left
- Business has been through a rescue plan
Complaints record: about 1,200 complaints on Portal da Queixa, with 98% resolved.
Online
Buying Furniture Online in Portugal
Short answer
Buying furniture online in Portugal gets you far more choice than local stores. La Redoute and Beliani have the best complaints records, Kave Home is well reviewed, and Sklum and Zara Home draw the most complaints about delivery.
| Store | People like | People complain about |
|---|---|---|
| La Redoute | Better quality than IKEA; free shipping and returns are common. One r/portugal reader furnished a whole apartment from it. | Inconsistent quality, so check sizes and materials. Not cheap. |
| Beliani | Low prices, free shipping within Portugal, good customer service. | Delivery taking far longer than promised. One expat waited seven weeks instead of two. |
| Kave Home | Good quality and design for the price. | After-sales: one buyer dealt with three languages across email, phone and the call center. |
| Maisons du Monde | Good value for the design, according to r/portugal. | Defective deliveries and very slow complaint responses. |
| Zara Home | Now sells real furniture, not just cushions. “Surprisingly decent,” said one reader. | Long waits, damaged deliveries, hard-to-reach support. |
| hôma | Very cheap; one buyer found a table at under half the price of competitors. | Online orders that never arrive. Better bought in store. |
| Sklum | Huge range of fashionable, cheap furniture. | Over 1,100 complaints on Portal da Queixa, few resolved. Several expats say avoid it. |
| Amazon Spain* | Fast delivery and reviews you can read. Best for desks, office chairs and shelving. | Not where I’d buy a sofa. |

Made in Portugal
Getting Furniture Made in Portugal
Short answer
Most made-to-order furniture in Portugal comes from the Paços de Ferreira and Paredes area, about 30 minutes by car from Porto. You don’t have to go there: shops across the country, and a touring furniture fair, take your order and have it made in the north, which usually takes two to three months.
Paços de Ferreira markets itself as the Capital do Móvel, or European Capital of Furniture. It’s a brand the town created rather than an official title, but it’s earned: Portugal’s furniture industry employs about 36,000 people, and much of it is clustered here.
You don’t have to go north
This is the part most people don’t realize. Plenty of furniture shops in Lisbon, the Algarve and elsewhere sell furniture made by manufacturers in the north. You go in, look at the samples, choose the fabric and sometimes the dimensions, and they order it for you.
The Capital do Móvel furniture fair also travels. Recent editions were held in Lisbon in June 2023, 2024 and 2025, and in Porto in September 2024, with dozens of makers selling direct.
Some makers will even work by email: send a photo and measurements, and they send back drawings and a quote. Others include delivery and assembly anywhere on the mainland, like Móveis Herdeiro.
Visit a showroom
Near you, at the fair, or in Paços de Ferreira itself.
Choose the details
Fabric, color, finish and, with some makers, the size.
Wait
Usually 8–12 weeks, sometimes longer for sofas.
Delivery
Ask whether it’s included and whether they carry it upstairs.
What people paid, and how long it took
| What | Paid | Took | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whole house, couple from the Algarve | Started at €25,000, ended at €32,000 with rugs, lamps and mattresses | 8–10 weeks | Expat blog |
| Custom sofa, Porto area | About €500 less than similar sofas in big stores | — | Fórum da Casa |
| Sofa, bought about 15 years earlier | About €1,500, still in excellent condition | — | Fórum da Casa, 2019 |
| Sofa from the Domóvel showroom center | — | Delivered 5 days after purchase | Fórum da Casa, 2018 |
| Made-to-order sofa, Gato Preto | — | About 5 months (quoted 60–90 working days) | Portal da Queixa, 2026 |
| Dining table and furniture, Sofa Fair | — | 3 months | r/portugal |
Is it cheaper than IKEA?
Usually not, and nobody I found claims it is for like-for-like flat-pack. The argument for it is quality per euro: solid wood and proper upholstery for less than you’d pay in a Lisbon design store.
Even that isn’t a given. One expat who shopped in Paços de Ferreira in 2024 found the quotes higher than a small design studio near Porto, and compared the sales approach to a used-car lot. Forum regulars advise skipping the big showrooms on the main roads and going to the small factories in Sobrosa, Lordelo or Rebordosa.
✓ Why I like it
- You choose the fabric, finish and sometimes the size
- Solid furniture that wasn’t flat-packed
- Delivery and assembly are often included
- You’re buying something made in Portugal, which is rare now
✗ What to know first
- Two to three months is normal, so don’t do it in a hurry
- Not cheaper than IKEA
- Big showrooms can be pushy and pricier than factories
- Many stores in Paços de Ferreira close on Sundays
Before you buy anything
Rent Furnished When You First Arrive
My advice
If you’re moving on a D7 or digital nomad visa, rent a furnished place first. You won’t have to furnish a home in a rush, and you won’t make expensive decisions in your first few weeks in a new country.
Most people rent before they buy, and the accommodation you show for your visa is often a stopgap anyway. A furnished rental gives you time to work out where you actually want to live, and what that home will need.
It also means you aren’t sleeping on an air mattress while a sofa you ordered in a hurry takes three months to arrive.
Can you rent furniture in Portugal?
People ask me this a lot, and the short answer is not really. There’s no equivalent of Fernish or CORT with monthly prices you can check online. IKEA announced furniture rental for Portugal back in 2019, and it never arrived.
A couple of small companies will quote for rental packages, mainly for people relocating to Lisbon, Porto, Cascais or the Algarve, such as Furniture Rental Portugal. They don’t publish prices, so ask for the monthly cost, the minimum term and the deposit before you get attached to the idea. A furnished apartment is almost always simpler.
⏳
If you have to furnish straight away
Order the bed first, and order anything made to order the moment you have an address. Stock items take a few weeks. Handmade pieces take months.
Second-hand
Buying Second-Hand Furniture in Portugal
Short answer
Second-hand furniture in Portugal is harder to find than in the UK or US, and used IKEA pieces are often listed at 50–90% of the new price. OLX and Facebook Marketplace are the two main places. The real bargains are older solid-wood furniture and sofas.
In the UK, Facebook Marketplace is full of furniture people will practically pay you to take away. That isn’t the case here. People in Portugal don’t really discount things heavily, so a two-year-old bookcase can be listed at not much less than a new one.
The numbers back that up for flat-pack. In October 2026, used BILLY bookcases were listed at about 55% of the new price, used MALM beds at 50–90%, and one used KALLAX for more than a new one. When IKEA sells a table and four chairs for under €100, buying used saves you €20 or €30 and a trip with a borrowed van.
Sofas and older furniture are different. Used three-seat sofas typically ask €120–250, and there are plenty of free or near-free listings. One r/portugal commenter’s favorite piece is an extendable cherry-wood table that cost €150, and her biggest regret was not buying more second-hand.
Where to look
📱
OLX and Custo Justo
Portugal’s main classifieds sites. OLX is the bigger one; Custo Justo is worth a second look.
👥
Use Marketplace and local buy-and-sell groups. Search in English and in Portuguese: you’ll find different groups, like Second Hand Algarve.
🔨
Auction houses
Good for older, solid pieces. Try Aha Algarve or Oportunity Leilões in Cascais and Porto.
🏠
Used-furniture shops
In the Algarve, House2House in Loulé and Kit & Caboodle, which sells furniture from homes in the golden triangle.
🎪
Flea markets
Lisbon’s Feira da Ladra and Flea Market Porto. More for character pieces than for furnishing a room.
♻️
Charity stores and IKEA
Charities like Reto à Esperança sell donated furniture, often old solid wood. IKEA stores also have a second-life corner near the checkouts.
Search in Portuguese
| You want | Search for |
|---|---|
| Used furniture | móveis usados |
| Sofa / sofa bed | sofá / sofá-cama |
| Wardrobe | roupeiro or guarda-fato |
| Bed / mattress | cama / colchão |
| Dining table and chairs | mesa de jantar and cadeiras |
| Chest of drawers | cómoda |
| Free | oferta or dou |
There are a few more used-furniture shops around Lisbon and the Algarve, but fewer elsewhere, and furnishing second-hand on Madeira or the Azores takes real patience.
Vintage furniture
Vintage shops curate the good stuff and price it accordingly. Most are in Lisbon and Porto, and Lisbon’s Rua de São Bento has a run of antique dealers.
- Cantinho do Vintage (Lisbon)
- América Móvel (Lisbon), mid-century Scandinavian furniture, expensive
- Chiado Vintage (Lisbon)
- Mercado do Vintage (Porto)
- Sóbrio Olhar (Porto)
- Arte Antiga (Viseu)
Delivery
How Long Does Furniture Delivery Take in Portugal?
Short answer
Furniture delivery in Portugal takes 10–30 days for stock items at most chains, and two to three months for anything made to order. Delivery often means to the building entrance, not into your apartment, so check before you pay.
| Store | Delivery | Assembly |
|---|---|---|
| IKEA | Small parcels from €6; furniture from €29; islands from €99 | TaskRabbit, from €19 |
| Moviflor | 10–15 working days; about 25 for some sofas | Bed €39.90, sofa €29.90, wardrobe €69.90 |
| JOM | 15–30 days; up to 60 if made to order; free pickup at 28 stores | Bed from €20, wardrobe €40, dining set €50 |
| JYSK | Free delivery to a store in 3–15 days; home delivery charged extra | Not offered; most items come flat-packed |
| Conforama | Varies; warehouse and online orders are often late | Extra; one buyer paid 13% of the price |
Delivery terms checked on 5 October 2026.

The other option
Should You Ship Your Furniture to Portugal?
Short answer
Shipping your furniture to Portugal saves you furnishing a new home, but it’s expensive from the US or Canada, American furniture is often too big for Portuguese homes, and you may need to pay for storage while you find somewhere to live.
And if most of your furniture is IKEA, it almost certainly isn’t worth it: the same pieces cost less here than in the US, and only a little more in the UK.
✓ The case for it
- You arrive with everything you own
- No furnishing a home from scratch
- You keep the pieces you love
✗ The case against
- Expensive from the US or Canada
- US sofas and beds can be too big for Portuguese rooms and stairwells
- Storage costs while you look for a home
- Shipments can get held at customs, with port storage (demurrage) charges adding up every day
I go into this in more detail in my guides to removals to Portugal and what to bring when moving to Portugal, and in my book, Moving to Portugal Made Simple.
Where you live
Buying Furniture by Region
🏙️
Lisbon
The most choice in the country: IKEA in Amadora and Loures, Area, El Corte Inglés, design stores in Santos, and the most vintage shops.
🌉
Porto and the north
IKEA in Matosinhos and Braga, El Corte Inglés in Gaia, and the furniture makers of Paços de Ferreira half an hour away.
☀️
The Algarve
IKEA in Loulé, plenty of chains, and the best used-furniture scene outside Lisbon.
🌳
Central Portugal and the Alentejo
Fewer big stores, so you’ll rely more on JYSK, Conforama, Moviflor, local shops and delivery.
🌊
Madeira and the Azores
The hardest places to furnish. Smaller stores, higher delivery costs and longer waits.
Common questions
Furniture in Portugal: FAQ
Is there IKEA in Portugal?
Yes. IKEA has stores in Amadora and Loures near Lisbon, Matosinhos near Porto, Braga, and Loulé in the Algarve, and delivers nationwide, including to the islands.
Is IKEA cheaper in Portugal than in the US?
Yes. Eight common products cost about 56% more in the US in October 2026, before sales tax, and about 18% more in the UK.
How much does it cost to furnish an apartment in Portugal?
A bed, mattress, sofa, wardrobe and dining set cost about €1,165 at IKEA in October 2026, and €1,250–1,560 at JYSK, JOM or Moviflor. Add delivery, assembly, lighting, rugs and kitchenware on top.
Can you rent furniture in Portugal?
Not easily. There’s no Fernish-style service with published prices, and IKEA’s planned rental scheme never launched here. A couple of small firms quote for rental packages, but most people rent a furnished apartment instead.
What is Paços de Ferreira known for?
Furniture. The town, about 30 minutes from Porto, calls itself the European Capital of Furniture and is surrounded by furniture factories and showrooms, including one of IKEA’s largest factories.
What size are beds in Portugal?
A standard double is 140 × 190 or 140 × 200 cm. Larger sizes like 150 × 190 and 160 × 200 cm exist, but none match US queen or king sizes exactly, so check sheets and duvets before you pack them.
