All You Need to Know About Duvets [1]

Duvets are basically body warmers made of fabrics. They come in various sizes, tog ratings, fillings, styles, textures, etc. depending on their manufacturer. It is important to have a good understanding of duvets in order to make an informed decision at the point of purchase.

Tog rating is a duvet’s level of warmth i.e. how well a duvet gives out warmth and regulates body temperature. It is not an indication of beauty, rather of functionality. Some duvets are just pretty, but they can’t keep out the cold effectively so, if you buy a duvet based on aesthetics alone, then you won’t gain the desired warmth, e.g. a duvet made from Arabian silk will be very pretty but may not insulate properly.

Below are suitable tog ratings:
4.5 tog - suitable for warm weather
10.5 tog - suitable for fine weather
12 - 13.5 tog - suitable for cold weather

It is very important to choose the right tog rate for your sleeping condition.
