Duvet Tog & Filling Buying Guide

Discover our Duvet buying guide and discover all you need to know about Tog ratings and duvet fillings and how this all affects your sleep...

 

 

Your duvet's tog rating and filling can have a significant impact on your night's sleep. Finding yourself getting too hot, too cold, or unable to drift off, chances are it is your duvet that is affecting your night's slumber.

At The Cotswold Bed Company, we pride ourselves on our range of luxurious duvets made from a range of materials, fillings and in a choice of sizes. We have quality bedding to suit all budgets and needs.

 

What is Tog?

The Tog of your duvet is the degree to which your duvet will retain heat. Tog relates to how warm the duvet will keep you. It is a common misconception that the Tog of your duvet relates to the weight. The weight of your duvet is down to the filling you choose. You can select from a range of Tog ratings. Essentially the higher the Tog rating, the better it will keep you warm, and vice versa. The lower the Tog rating, the cooler it will keep you. Duvet Tog ratings range from 1.5 Tog to 15 Togs. The average duvet Tog used in British homes is 10.5 Tog. This is due to 10.5 Togs season versatility. 10.5 Tog is the middle ground if you like to stay cool during the Summer and warm during the Winter. But if you would like more versatility over the Summer, Spring/Autumn, and Winter seasons, we would recommend having a range of duvet Togs to swap out each season.

 

 

Our seasonal Tog rating recommendation:

	Summer Duvet Tog    1.5 – 4.5 Tog A lighter duvet Tog will prevent you from overheating due to its lightweight nature, ensuring you keep cool, calm and relaxed at night during the British Summer.
	Spring/Autumn Duvet Tog 5.0 – 10.5 Tog A slightly warmer Tog, this range of duvet will ensure you stay cool yet warm during the transitional unpredictable British Spring/Autumn season.
	Winter Duvet Tog 11.0 – 14.5 Tog The highest range of duvet Tog will keep you warm and cosy during those harsh British Winters.

 

 

As children get a lot warmer quicker than adults, we recommend keeping your Tog low for your children to ensure they won't overheat and have a comfortable night's sleep instead.

 

 

The Cotswold Bed Company Natural filling and Synthetic fillings both offer the same luxurious feel. Both are durable and provide different benefits to your sleep.

 

Natural

A Natural filling is durable, cosy and the natural feathers keep your duvet plump and fluffy. Natural fillings have a heavier feel and offer the perfect all-around balance of comfort.

Our Natural filling options are:

Goose Down

Duck Feathers

Feathers & Down

 

Synthetic

Synthetic Duvets are also a ideal option if you prefer classic comfort. The benefit of a synthetic duvet is the fibres of our synthetic duvet are hypoallergenic, making it the perfect choice for those who prefer a delicate low allergy duvet. Durable in nature, synthetic duvets have a cosy feel and offer a luxurious sleeping experience.

 

 

 

We would all love for you to have the perfect night's sleep, but we understand everyone's sleeping style is different, and we all have our own bedding preferences.  Buying a duvet is an important decision, and if you are still unsure what duvet would suit your needs, look at the rest of our buying guides or visit our Cheltenham showroom, where you can view, feel, and discuss the best duvet for you.
