Like wool, silk will help you stay cool in summer and warm in winter. Like all natural fillings though, they will need to be professionally laundered. Microfibre duvets: pros and cons The first is brand. Looking at the brand of the product is often a really good indicator for judging product quality. For example you’d expect a much higher quality product from a brand known for providing excellent quality than you would from an unknown or even a budget brand. Tog is a measurement of how thermally insulating, and therefore warm, a duvet is. A high tog (10.5-15) is better for winter, while a low tog (1-4) will be light enough for summer.

Additionally, the Slumberdown Climate Control Duvet is non-allergenic and it’s made entirely of materials that are suitable for people with allergies and those with sensitive skin.

We asked duvet owners whether they felt buying one helped. One third felt their anti-allergic or hypoallergenic duvet had made a fair difference to allergy symptoms and around one in five felt it helped just a little. The next step for us was to look at all of the products that fall within the Duvets category, of which we found 58 products at Argos.

If you want extra comfort and luxury whilst sleeping, goose feather and down is the right choice for you. These all correspond to different mattress sizes. If you tend to feel cold in bed, go for the next size up from your mattress size (for example, if you have a double bed, use a king-size duvet), so that the duvet flows over the edges to keep warm air in and any draughts out. Microfibre is a great alternative to down and feathers, all the while being quite affordable. The end result is a cosy and high-quality duvet that’s long-lasting.

As well as individual 2.5, 4.5 and 9 tog duvets, Scooms also offers a host of all-season combination duvets, with a 7 tog (the 2.5 tog duvet plus a 4.5 tog), 11 tog (the 2.5 plus 9 tog combo), and 13.5 tog (4.5 plus 9 tog). Each all-seasons option comes with press studs to fasten the two duvets together. Personally, we'd opt for the 13.5 tog for year-round versatility. Anti-allergy means the filling and casing will have been treated to resist and combat the development of dust mites. You might find that this type of duvet is good for you if you have asthma, eczema or rhinitis, all of which could be exacerbated by allergens. The highest tog duvet you can buy is usually 15 tog, although we have seen some all-season duvets (where two separate duvets of differing togs are combined into one warmer duvet) offering a combined warmth of up to 18 tog.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. Silk is another luxurious and indulgent material, one that’s ideal for those looking for a soft duvet that’s also lightweight. The price of silk duvets can be a bit steep, so be wary of that.
