13 Things About Duvet Togs UK You May Never Have Known
Choosing Duvet Togs For a Comfortable Night's Sleep

A good night's rest depends on a comfortable bed and a duvet that keeps you cool or warm. But with a huge range of togs, fibre types and other factors, it can be hard to know where to begin.

Feather and down provide great insulation, but if animal welfare is important to you, choose a duvet that is suitable for all seasons, that's filled with the traceable filling, such as Downpass or Downafresh. Wool fillings are breathable and can regulate temperature effectively. They keep you warm in the winter months and cool in summer.


What is a Tog?

A tog rating was invented in the UK to give a standardised method of assessing how warm or cold the duvet. It's a scale used to measure thermal insulating properties and is not to be confused with the thickness of a duvet, which depends on filling. The higher the tog rating is, the warmer the duvet.

Tog is an important instrument that indicates how warm or how cold the duvet will be. It does not simply indicate the thickness. It is important because the duvet must be able to keep heat in and keep you warm and comfortable, but also be breathable to prevent you from feeling too cold.

If you buy one with a tog rating of less than 5 it's suitable for summer. It can be easily stowed away in a cupboard when temperatures begin to decrease. A duvet with a weight of 10.5 or more is a good choice for all seasons and will work well in most British climates. If, however, you're an ice-cold sleeper or live in a particularly cold and drafty home, you might want an a little warmer duvet, such as one of our 13.5 tog duvets.

We also offer a range of hypoallergenic, antibacterial and organic duvets to help find the perfect bedding to help you manage your allergies. For instance, we have a range of natural down and duck feather duvets, as well as synthetic fibre duvets which are suitable for vegans.

Check out our complete guide to buying a duvet to learn more about tog and the best duvet for you. Three aspects are essential to take into consideration: the tog, the filling, and the size of the duvet. Once you are aware of these aspects it will be easier to make an informed buying decision. You will be able to choose the best duvets for you and your loved ones. After all, a good night's rest is vital for mental and physical wellbeing. Choosing the correct tog can make the difference between a restless and cold night's sleep, and a peaceful and tranquil one.

How do you choose a duvet

When searching for a brand new duvet, one of the most important factors to consider is the rating. This is a measurement of how soft and warm a duvet is. In general, the more high the tog rating, the warmer and thicker the duvet will be.

However, choosing a bed that has a high tog rating could lead to overheating, which in turn can prevent you from getting the quality night's sleep which is essential for your wellbeing.

That's why it's so essential to find the perfect tog for you and your personal requirements. If you're an insomniac, a lower tog will suit you as it is lighter and less bulky. For instance, a 4.5 tog duvet will be ideal, or you could choose a silk-filled duvet that is incredibly breathable and helps to draw moisture away from your body, keeping you cool and fresh throughout the night.

If you're someone who sleeps cold then a duvet with an increased tog rating will be better for you. For instance an duvet with an tog rating of 10.5 or 15 would be ideal for winter. There are also all-season duvets available with low tog and a mid tog option - say, a 4.5 and 9 tog - so you can use the lighter one in spring/autumn, and summer, and the heavier duvet during the winter.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the tog rating does not always correspond to the weight of a duvet, because there are a variety of types of fillings that are available, which will all affect how light or heavy the duvet feels. For instance, a feather and down or wool duvet will be lighter than a synthetic one because they are more breathable, which means you'll feel the warmth you require without the bulk or weight.

The most affordable option is a microfibre/polyfibre hollowfibre duvet. This is a great choice for those who aren't sure of what kind of filling they should choose. These kinds of fillings are easy to maintain as they're durable and machine washable.

The most effective duvets to use in winter

As the days get shorter we'll begin to feel cold in our sleeping, which is why it's the ideal time to swap out your summer duvet for a warmer option. You can choose from a range of duvets that have different fillings and togs. The right duvet can make a an enormous difference in your sleep, especially when you're cold at night. A higher-tog duvet will help to keep you toasty warm through winter, whereas the lower tog model is perfect for warmer months.

Duvets are made of different materials, like feathers and down or synthetic fibres. all year round duvet tog (down or feathers) offer more advantages than the synthetic alternatives. They are able to release heat if you're hot instead of storing it like the majority of synthetic duvets. They are therefore perfect for summer and offer a more comfortable night's sleep.

Try a feather-and down duvet that has a weight of 13.5-14.5 to get a cozy feel. They are also hypoallergenic, which makes them ideal if you suffer from allergies. If you're looking to have the versatility of an all-purpose duvet, consider a dual-tog option. There are two duvets available typically a high-tog as well as a low-tog, that can be zipped together when it gets cold.

If you're a lover of luxurious hotel rooms, we offer a range of duvets that resemble hotel beds, which are the same ones used in most of Europe's top hotels. Our range includes options from brands such as Simba, Brooke + Wild and Soak and Sleep.

In addition to the fillings and tog ratings, you should also consider the size of your duvet and its care needs. Some duvets can only be dry-clean, which is a specialist service. Some can, however, be machine-washed up to 40°C. There are also duvets with anti-allergen treatments, so they're great for those who suffer from allergies or are too hot at night.

The best duvets to use in summer

A good duvet is essential for anyone who wants to get the best sleep possible. Alongside a cushion that is supportive and mattress that is comfortable, as well as a mattress protector, the type of duvet you choose can have a significant impact on your sleeping comfort. We have a range of different options, including the best quality down natural fibres, synthetic duvets - there's something to suit everyone. If you are prone to allergies or get too hot at night we have several cooling and temperature-regulating options, as well as wool that is hypoallergenic as well as comfortable to breathe.

In general the majority of cases, lighter summer duvets are better for most people than heavier winter options. If you live in an area that is particularly cold or your home isn't well-insulated it may be advisable to get a heavier winter duvet. We also offer a wide range of duvet sizes from single to super king size, so you can find the ideal size for your bed.

A majority of our duvets are made from natural materials such as silk and down. These duvets are known for their warmth and softness, and they're naturally hypoallergenic and comfortable to breathe. We also offer a wide variety of synthetic duvets which are typically made from polyester and treated to lessen allergies. They are a cost-effective and light substitute for natural fillings.

If you're not sure which duvet is best for you, we suggest an all-season duvet that combines two duvets. This allows you to change between a lighter summer-rated duvet (usually around 3-4.5 togs) and a cozy 13.5-15 tog duvet once the temperatures drop.

If you prefer natural materials, a silk or wool duvet is a good option. Both are excellent insulators and can aid in regulating your temperature throughout the night. However, wool is different in that it wicks out water, keeping you dry and comfortable, which is particularly important on warm nights. You can also try a silk duvet that is naturally hypoallergenic and has excellent thermal properties. If you're not a fan of synthetic fabrics, we have many other excellent options, like cashmere and cotton. The former is more soft and more breathable than cotton, while cashmere is a luxurious fabric that is as breathable as it is resistant to smells.
