Know your Togs summer and winter duvet options

For the utmost in comfort, we recommend you change your duvet according to the season. Theres nothing worse than feeling overheated on a hot summers night with these great duvet options you no longer have to worry!

Duvets work by trapping heat from the body. The tog relates to the amount of heat a duvet can trap the higher the tog, the warmer the duvet. A common misconception is that the tog rating is an indication of the quality of the duvet, ie. The higher the tog, the more value for money. This is not the case!

Another misconception is that the tog rating is an indication of weight. This, again, is not true! A very lightweight 13.5 goosedown duvet will trap the same amount of warmth as a 13.5 tog synthetic duvet.

If you are looking to update your duvet, follow this advice to select the right tog for you:

1. Are you a man or a woman? Womens bodies tend to be warmer, so women can get away with a lower tog rating.
2. Do you share a bed? Body heat generated by a second person adds to the warmth factor, so you may not need as high a tog rating.
3. Do you have a warm or cold bedroom? If your room tends to be on the fresh side, you may need to up the tog rating on your duvet to keep yourself snug.
