Who should buy a Double Duvet?

How to Pick the Perfect Tog Rating for Your Double Duvet

Tog ratings determine the warmth of your duvet, helping you choose the right level of comfort for UK homes. Use this simple guide to select a duvet that suits your bedroom temperature, season, and personal sleep style:

  • Summer Comfort (4.5-7.5 Tog): Lightweight duvets ideal for warmer months or centrally heated rooms.
  • All-Season Comfort (10.5-13.5 Tog): Medium warmth for spring and autumn, perfect for UK weather that fluctuates.
  • Winter Warmth (13.5-15 Tog+): Heavy duvets designed to keep couples and individuals cosy during cold winter nights.
  • Dual or Layered Tog Options: Some double duvets offer a two-in-one design for year-round use, allowing you to combine summer and winter duvets for customised warmth.

Tips for Choosing the Right Double Duvet

Picking the right double duvet ensures comfort, durability, and a better night’s sleep. Keep these points in mind:

  • Check Your Bed Size: Measure your double bed to ensure the duvet provides full coverage without being too small or excessively overhanging. (Avoid sizing errors by checking our Duvet & Duvet Cover Size Guide, where you’ll find tips on measuring your existing duvet or cover and understanding standard UK sizes.)
  • Consider Bedroom Space: Lighter duvets work well in smaller double bedrooms, while thicker options suit larger rooms.
  • Allergy-Friendly Options: Look for hypoallergenic fillings or machine-washable duvets for easier care.
  • Seasonal Use: Decide whether you want a year-round duvet or separate summer and winter options.
  • Check Bedding Sets: If buying a double duvet as part of a double duvet bedding set, make sure the colours and patterns complement your room décor.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care keeps your double duvet comfortable and lasting longer. Consider the following tips:

  • Wash microfibre and cotton duvets according to care instructions.
  • Fluff feather and down duvets regularly to maintain loft and insulation.
  • Use a duvet cover to protect your duvet and make cleaning easier.
