Indisputable Proof You Need Duvet Thickness
Choosing a Duvet Insert That Fits Your Mattress and Preferences

A good night's sleep starts with the best bedding. This includes a duvet cover that fits your mattress and preferences.

When deciding on a duvet's thickness, you'll also want to consider the fill material. Natural down (feathers from geese and ducks) is considered to be the best because it's warm, breathable and soft.

1. Thread Count

You'll probably see the term "thread count" being used in bedding and, for many it's considered to be an indicator of the quality of sheets. It is important to keep in mind that thread count is just one part of the story. It's not the only important aspect for sheets.

Instead you should look at the quality of the fibers used as well as the way they are weaved to create your sheets. These factors will have a greater impact on how soft and cosy the sheets feel.

In sheeting, a higher thread count usually indicates that the yarns are softer and tightly woven giving them a more smooth finish and a longer lasting. It is likely that higher thread count sheets tend to be more durable and soft. But, it's important to keep in mind that as Hayley says, 'higher is not always better.' Manufacturers have been known to employ creative math to make their sheets appear more in thread count than they are, for instance by counting ply, which is the number of single threads twisted into one strand of yarn, instead of single threads. This could lead to counts of 1,200, despite the fact that you're only able to fit 300-400 threads per inch.

When it comes to duvets thread count doesn't always affect the warmth. The filling of the duvet determines its insulation properties, not the weight or thickness. This is why you should consider the duvet's rating and not its weight or thickness, when deciding on a purchase.

You should look for the duvet that features a baffle box design to ensure the highest insulation. This involves stitching boxes into the fabric. This gives the filling more room to expand and remain evenly distributed. This kind of construction will cost more than those that use a stitched box construction however, the increased insulation is well worth the cost.

The tog rating of a duvet is crucial when deciding on one. It will tell you if the duvet is going to be warm or cool. In winter you will want an upper rating to stay warm. In summer, choose a lighter option between 4.5 to 13.5 tog for a better night's sleep.

There are a variety of options when you are looking for duvets. You can choose from natural (duck feathers and down), cotton, silk, wool or wool) or synthetic (hybrid fibers like hollowfibres and microfibres). These are great for those who have sensitivities or allergies to feathers and down. They are also breathable and temperature-regulating, meaning they will help you stay warm in winter and cool in summer.

The filling will have a major impact on the thickness. Down and feather duvets are typically heavier than synthetic duvets. However, it is important to look at the tog rating of the duvet instead of its weight or fill power when making your decision. The more high the tog rating of the duvet the warmer it will be.

Duck feathers and down are the most sought-after natural duvet fill options because they're soft, comfortable and warm and light. The feathers and down are collected by hand or machine from the belly or underside of waterfowl (usually geese or a duck) to ensure the best quality. The feathers and down are gathered in large groups to trap air. This helps them retain heat without overheating.

Goose down is a bit more expensive than duck, however it's a comfortable and affordable alternative. Goose down can be collected manually or using a machine. The most luxurious duvets utilize filling that is cleaned to be hygienically and meet international standards for cleanliness.

Synthetic duvets are generally more affordable than feather or down duvets, however they are generally less comfortable. They are made of hollowfibre and micofibre that are thin, wire-like substances. These are perfect for those who do not want to clean a feather or down duvet every day. They come in a variety of ratings.

A duvet made of baffle boxes is another alternative. This involves stitching additional strips of fabric between the bottom and top layers of the duvet creating a series of cubes, which allow the filling to hold in air better. This helps to increase warmth and decrease cold spots.

3. Fabric

A duvet's fabric has significant impact on its thickness and warmth. Natural fibres such as silk and wool are naturally breathable. They can disperse heat efficiently while keeping you warm through the night. This makes them an excellent choice for summer, but if you're looking for something warmer, think about switching to a synthetic fabric with a high tog rating. This is because it's more heat efficient, so you'll attain the warmth you want without losing breathability.

The material used to make a duvet also influences the warmth. average duvet tog is a natural fabric that is soft and breathable. It allows body heat to be able to escape easily, which means it will feel cooler when compared to a duvet made from synthetic fabrics such as polyester or microfibre. The amount of fabric used in the duvet case will affect how warm it feels. Thicker fabrics provide more insulation.

When it comes to the type of filling you can choose from a an array of options from synthetic to natural. Feathers are a popular choice however they can be pricey and cause allergic reactions for certain people. Alternately, you can opt for a cruelty-free alternative, such as recycled fibres that are softer and more eco-friendly.

The amount of filling that goes into a duvet can impact how thick it is, however, it's important to keep in mind that tog ratings also play an important role. Tog ratings are a measure of how warm a duvet is likely to keep you, with lower ratings being suitable for summer and higher ones better for winter.

The size of the mattress and the bed that you are using will also influence the kind of duvet you purchase. A twin-sized duvet is suitable for a standard twin-size mattress, while a full duvet can accommodate a double-sized mattress. The right size will ensure that the duvet is able to cover both the sides and the foot of the mattress and is not too tight or loose.

It is important to consider the impact on the environment when you choose a duvet. Some manufacturers produce their products with eco-friendly materials, which reduce the use of harmful chemicals as well as conserving energy during production. You can also search for products that have been certified by credible eco certifications such as GOTS or GRAS.

4. Size

When choosing a duvet, it's important to consider the dimensions of your mattress as well as your personal preferences in style. A duvet that is the right size will have a major impact on your sleep, regardless of whether you prefer a minimalist design or a luxurious one.

Tog is a measure to measure duvet thickness. The more high the tog rating the more warm the duvet. However it's important to keep in mind that the thickness of a duvet isn't always directly related to its tog rating. A thinner synthetic duvet may be warmer than a feather duvet, which is more thick even though the latter has a greater tog rating. This is due to the fact that synthetic fibres do not have the ability to regulate temperature and therefore, they'll hold warmth when you're warm, and release it when you're cold.

The top duvets are able to keep an ideal temperature throughout the night, ensuring you are at ease no matter what the weather or the position you prefer to sleep in. To achieve this, you should choose a duvet that is slightly larger than the mattress. This will ensure that the duvet covers the feet and sides of the bed, without a huge overhang.

In general, choose a duvet 12 inches longer and at least 16 inches wider than your mattress. This will ensure that your bed is long enough to cover the sides and the foot of your mattress without overhangs, and will provide ample space to move around and get out and in of the bed. A duvet must be at minimum the same height as your mattress to provide adequate coverage when you change positions.

If you're buying a bed for a child, go for one with a low tog rating. Children aren't able to regulate their body temperature, so the heavier duvet could cause the body to overheat.


If you're buying a duvet as a gift, it's important to consider your personal preferences when selecting the size. A heavier duvet can provide more warmth, but you might find it to be too heavy for you. It's also worth bearing in mind that you could always use a lightweight, thin duvet with a thicker comforter or quilt for extra warmth when needed.
