Choosing Duvet Togs For a Comfortable Night's Sleep
A good night's rest depends on a comfortable bed and a duvet to keep you warm or cool. But with a huge range of duvets, types of fibre and other elements, it can be hard to know where to start.
Feather and down provide great insulation however, if animal welfare is important to you, consider a duvet that is suitable for all seasons, that's filled with an easily traceable filling like Downpass or Downafresh. Wool fillings are breathable, and regulate temperature well. They keep you warm in winter and cool in the summer.
What is a tog?
In the UK, the tog rating was developed in the UK to provide a uniform way to gauge how warm or cool a duvet really is. It's a measure of thermal insulating properties and is not to be confused with duvet thickness, which depends on filling. The greater the tog, the warmer the duvet is.
Tog is an important instrument that indicates the temperature at which the duvet will be. normal tog duvet doesn't just show how thick it is. It is important because the duvet should be able retain heat to keep you warm and comfortable, yet be breathable to keep you from feeling cold.
If you purchase one with a tog rating of 5 or less it's suitable for summer. It can be stored in a closet when temperatures begin to drop. A duvet with a tog of 10.5 or more is an excellent choice for all seasons and will work well in all British climates. If you're a cold-sleeper or reside in a cold house, you may prefer to choose a duvet that has an increased tog rating.
We also have a selection of hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial and organic duvets to help you choose the best bedding to help you manage your allergies. We offer duvets made from natural duck down and feathers, as well as duvets made from synthetic fibres which are suitable for vegans.
If you're interested in learning more about the tog and which duvet is the best one for your requirements, read our complete guide to buying a duvet. There are three key considerations that you need to make: the tog rating, the filling, and the size of the duvet. When you know these elements, it will be much easier to make an informed buying decision. You'll be able to choose the ideal duvet for yourself and your family. A good night's sleep is essential to your physical and mental health. average duvet tog can mean the difference between a shivering and slumbering night's sleep and a restful and peaceful one.
How to choose a duvet
When you are looking for a new duvet, one of the most important factors to take into consideration is the tog rating. This is a measure of how fluffy and warm the duvet will feel. Generally speaking, the higher the rating of the tog the more thick and warmer the duvet will be.
However, choosing a duvet with a too high tog rating could lead to overheating, which in turn can prevent you from getting the quality night's sleep that's so vital for your wellbeing.
It's therefore crucial to find the perfect tog for your personal requirements. If you're hot sleepers or a hot sleeper, a less hefty tog will suit you as it is less bulky and lighter. For example, a cotton 4.5 tog duvet would be ideal, or you could choose a silk-filled duvet which is incredibly breathable and helps to draw the body's moisture away, keeping you cool and fresh during the night.
If you're a cold sleeper and sleep in a cold room, a duvet that has higher ratings for tog will be more suitable for you. For example the duvet that has a tog rating of 10.5 or 15 is ideal for winter. There are duvets for all seasons that come in low-tog and mid tog as well as even 15 tog versions. You can utilize the lighter duvet in spring and summer months and the heavier one in the winter.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the tog rating does not always correlate with the weight of a duvet as there are many different types of fillings that are available that can affect the amount of light or heavy a duvet feels. For example a feather and down or wool duvet will weigh less than one made of synthetic because they're more breathable, meaning you'll get the warmth you need without the weight or bulk.
In the end, a hollowfibre made of polyester or microfibre duvet will be the least expensive and suitable for those who aren't certain about what type of filling to choose. These options will be easy to maintain as they're very durable and machine washable.
The best duvets to use in winter
As the days become shorter, we can start to feel cold in our sleep and that's why it's a great time to swap out your summer duvet and opt for a warmer option. You can pick from a variety of duvets with different fillings and togs. Choosing the right duvet tog will have a major impact on your sleep quality particularly if you tend to be cold at the night. If you invest in a higher-tog duvet can help keep you toasty warm through winter, while an option with a lower tog is perfect for warmer months.
Duvets are available in many different materials, including feathers and down or synthetic fibres. While both have their advantages however, the natural alternatives (down and feathers) are more breathable than synthetic ones. This means that they can release heat when you're hot instead of storing it as most synthetic duvets do. As a result, they're ideal for the warmer months and provide a more relaxing night's sleep.
For a comfortable and cozy feeling, consider a feather and down duvet with a tog of approximately 13.5-14.5. They are also hypoallergenic which makes them perfect for those who suffer from allergies. If you like the versatility of a duvet that can be used for all seasons, a dual-tog is a great option. There are two duvets available typically high-tog as well as a low-tog which can be put together in the event of cold.
If you are a fan of the luxury of an hotel, we have a wide selection of duvets that resemble the ones found in the most luxurious hotels of Europe. Our selection includes brands such as Simba, Brooke + Wild and Soak and Sleep.
It is also important to consider the size and condition of your duvet. Certain duvets can only be dry cleaned, which is a specialist service. Others are able to be machine-washed up to 40°C. Duvets that have anti-allergen treatments are also available for those suffering from allergies or who sleep too hot at night.
The best summer duvets
A good duvet is essential for anyone looking to get the best night's sleep. The kind of duvet you select, as well as a firm mattress, a comfortable mattress topper, and pillow can have a major impact on your sleep quality. We offer a variety of different options, including the finest quality down, natural fibres and synthetic duvets - there's something for all. If you suffer from allergies or get too hot at night we have a number of cooling and temperature-regulating options, as well as wool that is hypoallergenic as well as breathable.
In general the majority of cases, a lighter summer duvet is more suitable for most people than heavier winter options. If you live in an area which is particularly cold or your home isn't well-insulated, you may want a heavier winter duvet. There are a wide range of sizes of duvets from single to super-king size, so you can find the one that's perfect for your bed.
A majority of our duvets are constructed from natural materials, like silk and down. These fabrics are renowned for their softness and warmth and they're naturally hypoallergenic and air-tight. But, we also have a great selection of synthetic duvets that are typically made of polyester and infused with anti-allergy treatments. These are an affordable and light alternative to natural fillings.
If you're unsure of which duvet is best for you, we suggest an all-season duvet that blends two duvets. This allows you to change between a light summer-rated duvet (usually around 3-4.5 togs) and a cozy 13.5-15 tog duvet once the weather gets colder.
If you're a fan natural materials, try a silk duvet or wool. Both are great insulation and can aid in regulating your temperature throughout the night. However, wool is different in that it wicks away water, keeping you dry and comfortable, which is important on warm nights. You can also try a silk-based duvet. It is hypoallergenic and has exceptional thermal properties. If you're not a big fan of synthetic fabrics, we have several other excellent options, such as cashmere and cotton. The former is soft and more comfortable than cotton, and the latter offers luxurious fabrics that are as breathable as it is resistant to smells.
