What is a duvet tog, and how do I choose?Updated 23 days ago

A tog is a British measurement of warmth. The lower the tog, the cooler the duvet, the higher, the warmer. The tog you choose will only relate to the warmth, and has nothing to do with the quality of the duvet. The filling is the most important factor when it comes to the feel and longevity of your duvet. Our togs start at 2.5 (perfect for the warmest summer months) and go as high as 15 for cold winters. We offer an All Seasons option in all fillings, which has a 4.5 tog and a 9 tog duvet, that can be used separately or poppered together, to make a 13.5 tog. As a guide, we recommend the following...

2.5 tog - light summer use

4.5 tog - summer use

9 tog - spring/autumn use

10.5 tog – cooler spring/autumn months

13.5 tog – winter months

15 tog – colder winter months

All Seasons (4.5 and 9 tog) - all year round comfort
