Winter

As winter draws in, it's time to turn up the heat by putting on a warm, comfy duvet. A tog value of between 13.5 and 15 will provide excellent insulation and will allow you to regulate your body's temperature.


Tog rating of a duvet depends on its capacity to hold heat and insulate. It also depends on the material size, filling size, and construction. Natural fibres like wool and down, for instance have a higher rating of tog than synthetic polyester. Similarly, a duvet with an elongated filling and a less open weave will be breathable, while a heavier or tightly woven fabric will be warmer and more insulating.

It's worth comparing the warmth between different duvets available in stores to determine which one is the best for you. You may require a heavier or lighter one based on the climate of your area, the amount the airflow in your bedroom, and how much heat is retained by your home.

If you are looking for the most flexibility, consider a 3-in-1 Duvet. This allows you to change between three different ratings.

The Slumberdown Cosy Nights 15 Tog Duvet, for instance, is a fantastic choice and costs only PS40.

Spring/Autumn
