If you’re starting to feel chilly when you climb into bed at night, it may be time to change your duvet to one that’s going to keep you snug in the colder months ahead. You have two options – either go for a heavier tog duvet (ideally anything over 10 tog for winter) or get an all-seasons duvet (multiple duvets that you can attach together for the winter).
The duvet filling requires serious consideration. Synthetic microfibre duvets are good for allergy sufferers, as well as generally being more affordable. But those with deeper pockets may prefer the more luxurious feel of natural fillings, such as feather or down (or both combined). Some natural fillings, such as silk, are also good for allergy sufferers and there are also some specially-designed fillings available too, as with Rested Outlast All Seasons.
Breathability is key if you’re prone to waking up sweaty and don’t forget the casing, which you don’t want to feel scratchy against your skin through your duvet cover. Finally, make sure the filling is evenly distributed and consider if you’ll want to be able to wash and dry your duvets at home. All the duvets listed here are available in sizes single, double, king and super king unless stated otherwise.
