Product Information

We understand that it might not always be practical to keep four different duvets specifically for each bed in your home, so why not go for an all seasons duvet instead? We suggest starting off with a lighter weight duvet such as our Silentnight Cooler Summer Duvet 4.5 Tog whilst the child is still quite young, before moving up to one of our Silentnight Deep Sleep Duvet 7.5 Tog duvets when they become a little bit older. When the child becomes older, you can start looking at something which has a slightly higher tog rating such as our Snug Bed2Go Bedset 10.5 Tog duvet. If though, you are unsure as to which duvet tog to go for, it’s essential that your child is comfortable and not overly warm, at least until they get older. Therefore, we would suggest going for a lower tog of duvet. but keeping a blanket on the bed for added warmth when necessary.

As an interesting fact, if you are looking for interesting facts around duvets, is that the TOG Rating was developed by the Shirley Institute in Manchester, founded in 1920 as the British Cotton Association Research Institute. We’ve all at some point experienced the discomfort of feeling overly hot in bed or waking up in a sweat which is very unpleasant, and certainly doesn’t make sleeping any easier.

Tog: Necessary throughout for those frostier winter evenings, a tog rating of 13.5 to 15 will help to make sure that you are kept snugly and warm. Tog: Another lightweight option, yet slightly heavier and therefore warmer than the 4.5 tog, this is a great option throughout summer and in between spring and summer and summer and autumn when the temperature can fluctuate. It’s important that pillows and duvets are not used for children under the age of 12 months. This is to help reduce the risk of overheating or suffocation. BabyCentre suggests a room temperature of between 16 and 20 degrees is warm enough for babies to sleep warm and comfortably.

Tog: This rating is perfect for Spring and Autumn through which it isn’t quite warm enough to warrant the heavier duvet, but you still want to remain cosy and warm. A tog is 0.1m 2⋅K/W. In other words, the thermal resistance in togs is equal to ten times the temperature difference (in °C) between the two surfaces of a material, when the flow of heat is equal to one watt per square metre. [1] We all sleep differently depending on the climate. Another problem you may face when choosing the right tog rating is that you and your partner prefer a difference in temperature. If this is the case, opting for a duvet combining both cool and cosy options will ensure that both you and your partner can get a great night’s kip! The tog rating measures the scale of the duvet’s warmth, referring to the efficiency of the material’s thermal insulation and means that not only temperature is affected, but the weight and softness too will depend on the tog rating. During the change in weather throughout the different seasons, one important consideration that you have to think about is to ensure that your duvet is at the right temperature to allow you to be sleeping comfortably and soundly.See our article on His and Hers Duvets and our review of the Nanu Hot or Notfor a solution to this problem!

A few manufacturers have marketed combined duvet sets consisting of two duvets; one of approximately 4.5 tog and one of approximately 9.0 tog. These can be used individually as summer (4.5 tog) and spring/autumn (9.0 tog). When joined together using press studs around the edges, or Velcro strips across each of the corners, they become a 13.5 tog winter duvet and as such can be made to suit all seasons. Finding the warmth level you want from your bedding is one of the most important decisions to make when you choose a duvet. Shops will mark their duvets with a ‘TOG’ number, but also may say ‘summer’ / ‘winter’ or ‘all seasons duvet’. Here we’ve tried to explain the difference between them. So as you can see, ensuring that you’re getting the recommended amount of sleep every night doesn’t just help to keep you energised and refreshed the following day but is also a necessary requirement to keep your body healthy and performing efficiently. The basic unit of insulation coefficient is the R SI, (1m 2⋅K/W). 1tog = 0.1 R SI. There is also a US clothing unit, the clo, equivalent to 0.155 R SI or 1.55tog, described in ASTM D-1518.You might be questioning why ensuring that your duvet is the right temperature is so important. The reason it matters is because it plays a big influence on your body’s ability to feel comfortable and get a good night’s rest.
