The tog rating of a duvet measures its ability to provide warmth and insulation, with a higher tog rating indicating a warmer duvet. In general, the ideal tog rating for a winter duvet depends on personal preference and the temperature of your bedroom.

As winter draws ever closer, many of us will be looking for solutions to make sure we keep warm during the cold period. There’s nothing worse than getting into a cold bed at night, being unable to sleep because you’re uncomfortable. Your choice of duvet during these months will have a huge impact on how warm you keep. This is because of something called a tog rating. This is a scale a duvet is measured in based on how much warmth it keeps in. So, what tog duvet is best for the snowy months?

The main thing to remember when deciding what tog duvet is that the higher the rating, the better the duvets ability at keeping you warm. During winter you want to be aiming to buy a duvet rated at 10 or higher. This is an excellent rating for making sure you’re kept nice and snug during these months.

Aside from winter, you are probably wonder what tog duvet should you buy. For all year round use there are all season duvets. These are made up of two separate tog ratings. During the winter, they can be connected, to create thick duvet. Then, as it begins to get warmer, they can be split, using one single duvet to make sure you are not going to get too warm.

At Get Laid Beds, we have a variety of solutions for different seasons. Our recommendation for the upcoming winter is our 13.5 Tog Hungarian Goose Down Duvet. This is a luxurious choice which contains 100% natural goose down fillings. This provides a warm and comfortable sleeping environment which surrounds your body. This is also a practical choice of duvet as it can be both washed and tumble dried in your own home. This would make the ultimate winter duvet choice.

It's important to note that a higher tog rating may not necessarily mean a better duvet. The type of filling material, quality of construction, and other factors can also affect the warmth and comfort of a duvet. You should also consider your personal preferences for weight, loft, and other factors when choosing a winter duvet.
