Duvets offer luxurious warmth and comfort for a good night's sleep. These soft, quilted blankets filled with down or synthetic materials provide insulation without excessive weight. Choosing the right duvet depends on factors like material, tog rating, and size. Natural fillings like duck or goose down offer an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, while synthetic options are hypoallergenic and easy to care for. Tog ratings indicate warmth levels, with higher numbers suitable for colder seasons and lower tog to stop you feeling clammy on warm nights. Duvets come in various sizes to fit different bed dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit for your sleeping space.

Hypoallergenic: Synthetic options are ideal for allergy sufferers. These fillings resist dust mites and other allergens, promoting healthier sleeping environments.
Hollowfibre: This synthetic filling traps air effectively, providing good insulation. It's durable, easy to care for, and maintains its shape well over time.

What does the tog rating of a duvet mean?
The tog rating indicates a duvets' insulation level. Higher tog ratings (e.g., 13.5) are better at retaining heat, making them ideal for those who like to stay warm. Lower tog ratings (e.g., 6.5) are suitable if you prefer a cooler sleep environment.
How does the season affect my choice of tog rating?
Consider the changing seasons. Choosing the right tog rating ensures you're neither too hot nor too cold, promoting a peaceful night's rest. A tog rating of 10.5 is a versatile choice that keeps you comfortable year-round. For those seeking separate summer and winter duvets, a 6.5 tog is ideal in the summer and 13.5 tog in the winter.

Is it a good idea to choose a duvet size larger than my bed?
Yes, it can be beneficial to go a size up from your bed, especially if you share it with someone. For example, if you have a double bed, opting for a king-size duvet provides more coverage, ensuring both you and your partner can stay cosy and comfortable while you sleep.
