Product Information

Don't buy it if: you really want to layer on the warmth. This 13.5 tog duvet is plenty snuggly enough, but we think the wool and down options just pip it to the post in terms of cosiness. That said, this synthetic option is far easier to care for as it's machine washable and can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. The best option if you want to make sure your duvet is properly cleaned is to use professional duvet-cleaning services. Another key aspect is drying. You'll want to make sure your duvet is properly dried after washing so that you eliminate the possibility of mould or other damages. You can air dry and machine dry your duvet. Winter duvets vs summer duvets vs all-season duvets Regardless, applying an all-seasons combination duvet to your bed can help create a sanctuary of sleep. Since getting a good night’s rest is essential to your health, a duvet can be the difference between waking up cranky or in a good mood. However, duvets are not for everyone.

If you don't want to have multiple duvets, with a separate duvet for every season, an all-season duvet is ideal. But unlike a winter duvet or a summer duvet, an all-season duvet has to be both good at trapping heat and letting it pass. To help you get to grips with the basics, we've broken down the pros and cons of most common duvet fillings below. Each All Seasons duvet consists of a lighter summer duvet and a warmer winter duvet. Use one on its own in summer, spring & autumn and when the temperature falls you can fasten them together for a super warm winter duvet. All seasons duvets can be clipped together either with press studs or buttons, depending on which all seasons option you decide on. Spend some time looking for a new duvet and you'll soon realise there are a whole host of duvet fillings available. From hollow fibre to goose down, synthetic to natural, the array of terms and materials can fast become a little overwhelming. Buy it if: you want an affordable winter duvet that still feels both warm and luxurious. This recycled polyester fill duvet has 10% silk mixed in, and whilst the proportion doesn't sound huge, it really makes a difference to the way this duvet feels, with a more luxurious touch and really nice drape on the bed, whilst still being lightweight. Even better it's a relatively budget buy, and made from certified recycled polyester from waste (like plastic bottles or manufacturing off-cuts) which helps the movement towards a more circular economy by reducing waste going to landfill. Compared with virgin polyester, recycled polyester helps conserve crude oil reserves during fibre production.

Filling

Additionally, a duvet filling could be polyester, cotton or wool. In most instances, you would opt out for the alternative to down to gain hypoallergenic properties and also save some money. Duvets can have a plethora of features to assist with things like spinal health, helping keep still whilst sleeping, targeted body temperature control and so many others. For instance, some combination duvets not only have a summer and winter warmth design but also control heat or cooling.

Buy it if: you're looking for luxury as well as warmth. No duvet fill feels quite as sumptuous as down, and this 90% Hungarian goose-down and 10% goose feather option is one of the best. It's super warm, drapes beautifully, and feels super luxurious. The all-seasons option also offers brilliant versatility; use the 4.5 and 9.0 duvets separately in warmer seasons and combine when the evenings start to drop in temperature to create 13.5 togs of winter warmth. Plus, although it's an investment, the all-seasons design means you'll also be kitted out with cooler tog duvets for spring, summer and autumn. While it's not nearly as important as the previous factors to a lot of people, allergy sufferers need to take note of whether their new duvet is hypoallergenic. And this word, “hypoallergenic” relates to a few things. For one, make sure that you're not allergic to the duvet filling.Hypoallergenic Assurance: The Hotel Collection duvet is meticulously crafted to be gentle on your skin and is free from allergenic materials, providing a safe and comfortable sleeping environment.

Long thought of as the Holy Grail of duvet fillings, down creates a plump, squishy and super soft duvet.However, that luxury feel comes with a luxury price tag to match. As we've previously mentioned, most duvets are machine washable, although, not all in the same way. For a feather down duvet, you'd want to use a gentle, slow cycle and warm water, while the synthetic-filled duvets could be washed with less care. Natural fillings are very breathable, which prevents and controls excess nighttime sweating. These can comprise things such as bamboo, bird feathers, hemp fibre, cotton, wool, silk or satin. Emily Attwood, founder of sleep-brand scooms agrees, ''We’d always advise a 9 tog to 13.5 tog for the winter months as this is ideal and will keep you warm. If your house is always on the warmer side, then a 9 tog duvet would probably suit you better throughout the winter months, and you wouldn’t want to go any higher. This will prevent you from overheating which can disrupt your sleep.' Whether you want the most affordable duvet or just the best value duvet, there are a few things that are worth keeping in mind when judging the price.

Standard & Emperor Sizes

With that being said, they also have their downsides. For one, synthetic duvets tend to struggle a lot more when it comes to temperature regulation (especially the cheaper models). And their durability can be pretty low as well. On the other hand, synthetic filled duvets are generally easier to take care of, meaning, you could wash them using a normal cycle and temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius. Naturally, you’d want to make sure the duvet fits in your washing machine. The most ideal tog for summertime ranges between 1 and 4.5. However, a tog of 7 to 10.5 is best for spring and autumn. Anything from a 10.5 up to 15 will keep you comfortable in winter. Pros and Cons of Combination Duvets Opulent Comfort: Immerse yourself in the opulence of sumptuously soft embossed covers that promise ultimate comfort and indulgence reminiscent of a high-end hotel experience.

First up, it's synthetic fillings. These duvets are filled with manmade fibres, like polyester and polymide that are made from petroleum-based plastics. Year-Round Coziness: This 10.5 tog duvet is generously filled, making it the perfect choice for keeping you warm throughout the year. Whether it’s the crispness of spring or the gentle chill of autumn, this duvet ensures you enjoy a restful night’s sleep, no matter the season. That said, personally, we think 13.5 tog remains one of the best winter duvet weights, with some finding 15 tog can retain heat a little too much during the night and lead to overheating.Although you can get duvets in almost any tog rating, the most common togs are 4.5 tog which makes a great summer duvet weight, 10.5 tog which tends to be the best bet for autumn and spring, and 13.5 tog which offers good winter warmth. Unlike blankets, a duvet can be quite useful during the hot summer days, as a good duvet with a low tog rating will serve as a temperature-regulating medium if you will. It will keep you dry, cool and comfortable during the warmest summer nights and we all know how hard it is to sleep soundly on a warm night.
