What tog duvet do you have on your bed now?

Do you use different ones for every season?

I only change for winter and summer.

Reason I'm asking is just had to buy a new duvet (bigger bed) and couldn't for the life of me remember what tog our current one is (and I'd cut the label out cos I hate labels lol) and the one previous to that didn't have a label (a very expensive down one is now the dogs bed since one of the little bastards peed on it, he was a puppy bless!)

So just bought a 13.5 tog..then afterwards read somewhere I should get 15 for winter , and that 13.5 is an Autumn one So thinking is there a huge difference?

I have no clue but 13.5 sounds about right. I only change Summer/Winter. In fact this year I dont think I bothered. I just kicked the covers off in summer if I was too warm and in winter if im cold I pull a fleece throw over myself.

Where the heck do people store 4 dif duvets for each bed in the house?

Id just add blankets if you got chilly.

Well the king we have now is quite thin (so I think its a summer one) and when its cold I put a bedspread over the top, but tbh that is a faff!

I have no idea where folks put them?! Maybe they use those suction bags that make stuff really small lol

I just went and checked like a loser lol. Mines 13.5 and iv been fine, even in the really cold weather last week I didnt use the throw much (though our heating kicks on at about 2/3am for an hr).

I do think the one at my mums was heavier though. Yes it was really cosy but i def dont think one at 15 is a necessity. You have Dan to keep you toasty too with his body heat!

pmsl thats true, that man is like walking radiator! he walks round in a tshirt and shorts and im fully clothed with a dressing gown on too hahaha

LOL! Those suction bags work great! Squishes em down to a flat pancake and you can toss them like a frisbee under the bed!

oooh i might get some then!

always had a divan, but getting new bed on wednesday (xmas presenr from parents) so will have space to store!

Is that like a Dania Down? The divan?

What tog duvets do you use Jen? With you're extreme weather changes I imagine you do have loads of duvets and use a really high tog in winter!!!

I have my down comforter in the closet atm..have a regular comforter set that is warm. I loved the down one..and I believe it was 15, but the tags have long since come off... loved how it would fluff up when I shook it! LOL! Shayne hates feathers..so it's our guest comforter when company stays with us.

have u ever seen rhod gilbert and the award winning mince pie ? he gets on about togs and its so hilarious, it gets me on the floor everytime i see it,

Rhod Gilbert is the first thing I thought of when I saw the post! And had to smile thinking about it!

As for my duvet I do believe it's a 10.5 even though I ordered a 4.5! I am finding it too warm atm still so will be investing in a thinner one soon! I only summer and winter ones and just put a blanket or both quilts on if too cold!!

me too soon has i saw it was about duvets i thought of him i think hes so funny even though i cant understand him sometimes lol

I use a 10.5 tog all year round, but then my house is usually a fairly constant temperature and I get really hot at night when I'm asleep so wouldn't like anything thicker

We use a 13.5 tog feather quilt on our bed and it's absolutely fine x

We have a 13.5 tog down duvet we use all year. If its warm i just throw it off me so just use the sheet. I want a new one but the down one i want is £95

We had a 15 tog feather one and it felt like we were being pinned to the bed it was sooo heavy...and OMG such a pain to change!!

We have a 13.5 tog one on at the moment and change to 7.5 (I think) in the summer

My winter one is 13.5 tog

I've still got my summer one on atm which is 4.5 tog havent been arsed to change it lol

Yeh I can imagine feather being heavy - would never get one as I remember what feather pillows were like as kids!

Down is lovely, but went for microfibre as its easier to wash and dry!

We still have our 4.5 tog on at the mo. Its fine as long as his nibs doesnt steal it all then i get cold. C has a 9 i think but always goes to bed in socks and thick jammies

We have a 13.5 one on and we find that its brilliant all year round! Although im beginning to find that im getting hot on a night now though xx
