Duvets

From light 4.5 tog duvets for summer to warm 13.5 and 15 tog ones for winter, in natural feather and down or easy-care hollowfibre and microfibre. Not sure which tog you need? Our guide below makes it simple.

Duvet Need-to-Knows

Tog ratings, goose down versus duck feather, natural or synthetic fillings - choosing a duvet shouldn't require a degree. We've kept it simple and straight, so you can find the right warmth and filling for how you sleep. No jargon, no fuss - just the stuff that's genuinely useful to know.

Tog Ratings

Tog measures how well a duvet traps warmth - the higher the tog, the warmer the duvet. It's nothing to do with weight; a lightweight down duvet can be warmer than a heavier synthetic one. For most UK bedrooms, 10.5 tog works year-round, 4.5 is ideal for summer, and 13.5 is for cold sleepers or anyone who likes to feel properly cocooned.

Goose vs Duck

Both use a blend of feather and down - feathers for structure, down for warmth. Goose down clusters are larger, so they trap more air and feel lighter and loftier at the same tog rating. Duck is still a lovely natural filling and more affordable - the difference is real but subtle.

Natural Fillings

Feather and down breathe with your body temperature, absorbing moisture when you're warm and releasing it as you cool - so you stay comfortable through the night. They also last far longer than synthetic fills (10–15 years vs 3–5) and feel lighter at the same warmth. They do need a gentle wash and thorough dry to stay at their best, and aren't suited to anyone with feather allergies.
