Which duvet should I choose? Cool or warm? What is TOG?

TOG stands for ‘Thermal Overall Grade’, which is a unit of measurement used to calculate the thermal insulation of a product, usually in the textile industry. Our sleep garments are given a TOG rating according to the warmth they provide. Basically the higher the TOG, the warmer the product.

Extra-warm duvetIf you prefer a thicker duvet with plenty of filling, you need an extra-warm duvet.

Warm duvetIf you’re one of those people who feels the cold and keeps the covers pulled right up to their ears, you need a warm duvet. This is a thick duvet with more filling, but it’s still light.

What material do I need?

Microfibre: Easy maintenance

Microfibre is a light, synthetic material which is super soft and creates that feeling of a down filling. Duvets made from synthetic fibres are comfortable, very easy to maintain and provide excellent insulation from the cold. They can be machine washed as often as needed, making them the ideal option for homes with children or people with allergies.

Down and feather: Maintain body heat

Feather and down are natural materials. They “breathe” well and are very good at absorbing moisture. The feathers offer excellent comfort, breathability and consistency to the duvet, while the down is softer, fluffier and lighter. They create a warm and dry sleep environment so you can relax all night long. The feathers we use to make our duvets never come from live animals. See all down and feather duvets

When sustainability and comfort go hand in hand

Down & feathers have a natural smell which disappears once you have taken the duvet out of the package and aired it for some time. Alternatively, you can wash this type of duvet before use. We recommend to air your down & feather duvet well when you wake up in the morning. This allows any moisture to evaporate before putting the duvet back on the bed. Where possible, air out in direct sunlight. Natural sunlight helps to disinfect your duvet. To wash your down & feather duvet, set the washer to a delicate warm water cycle (60°C or 140°F). Wash the duvet separately and only use one third of the normal amount of detergent. Learn more here

How do I wash my duvet?

All our duvets can be washed at 60ºC, the temperature at which mites die. Our synthetic fibre and lyocell duvets can be washed frequently, making them ideal for homes with children.Our duvets made from natural materials such as feather and down are also suitable for machine washing, but it is recommended to do so less often and to add several tennis balls to prevent the feathers from becoming compacted.

Store your duvets throughout the year

Seasons come and go and it is a good idea to change your duvet when spring comes while storing the old one until the weather turns. Vacuum packing can save precious space and is easy to do. We have not only vacuum-sealed bags but also a wide range textile storage solutions.
