Check out our duvet tog guide where we discuss the duvet tog meaning, explain tog ratings, and help you pick the perfect thickness for you. Create your ideal sleeping haven with our duvet tog guide, and let night-time issues, such as sweating, restless or anxiety, drift away.

Duvet tog meaning

If you’re new to bedroom terminology, then it’s likely you’ve never heard of the phrase “duvet tog”. We don’t blame you – even those who have heard of it quite often don’t understand the duvet tog meaning. Essentially, it’s the measure of thermal resistance, or how well the filling is protecting you against external factors, like heat (or a lack thereof). The warmth to weight ratio of your duvet means that the higher the tog, the warmer the duvet. A higher duvet tog will add extra fluffiness and cosiness to your bed. Those who are looking for the ultimate comfort will naturally begin the hunt to find the highest tog duvet you can buy – but that’s not always the right course to take. How to choose a duvet tog that’s right for you? Discover the finer details in our duvet tog guide below.

Woolroom duvet tog ratings explained

You’ll notice that in our duvet tog guide, our products don’t come with a set tog rating. There’s a great reason for it. When it comes to insulation, wool fibres are far too clever to stick to one rating. Having evolved to keep sheep cool when it’s hot, and warm when it’s not, we utilise wool’s benefits that are naturally adapted to keep you at a steady temperature while you sleep. That’s why our duvet tog guide may look a little different. When we try to apply a single duvet tog rating to our products, we find that the value depends on temperature – leaving us with an approximate duvet tog range instead. Meaning that no matter how warm or cool you are, your wool duvet will work to maintain your temperature and keep you sleeping for longer. Cool, right?

What tog duvet do I need?

The tog you require will largely depend on personal preference, room temperature and the time of year. There are various duvets on the market to suit all sorts of sleep environments and preferences – which is what makes it difficult to make that ultimate choice. To answer “what tog duvet do I need?”, we’ll explore duvet togs for each season. We all know that being too hot or too cold in bed can be bad for your sleep, meaning choosing the right duvet for summer and winter can have a big impact.

Most people switch their duvets over between seasons to ensure happy, healthy sleep all year round – so what duvet tog is best for summer, and what is the best duvet tog for winter? We’ve outlined the best choices at Woolroom for you below.

What duvet tog for winter?

So for all of you cosy sleepers, what is the best duvet tog for winter? At Woolroom, all of our Medium and Warm duvets are suitable for winter sleeping – or simply for those who like a little more weight in their duvet – spanning across the mid and high ranges in the duvet tog ratings. So, your choice between the two will ultimately come down to personal preference. We recommend opting for a Medium duvet if you’re more of a warm sleeper, or choose the Warm option for a thicker, cosier covering. Heavier duvet togs are perfect for those who struggle with anxiety. The added weight will be like a warm cuddle, letting your worries drift away as you slip into bed.

Both duvet tog ranges are available across all of our bedding collections:

• Classic: Our entry-level wool duvets. Available in three weights and filled with 100% traceable British wool, 100% cotton and 0% synthetic materials. These natural fibre duvets all come at a price that others can only match by using cheaper foreign wools and synthetics.
• Chatsworth: Also 100% British, 100% cotton and 0% synthetic, and featuring wool quilts in four weight options. These premium duvets filled with traceable wool are designed to be soft yet high performing. All the wool duvets in our Chatsworth range are certified as hypoallergenic and are machine washable on a wool cycle with wool detergent – magic!
• Organic Washable: You guessed it, we use zero synthetic materials in our organic duvets. With 100% luxury high thread count organic cotton and British traceable wool fibres, you can know exactly where your wool duvet came from. They’re also GOTS certified, meaning you know exactly what you’re sleeping with.

What duvet tog for summer?

Also available across all three of our bedding ranges, the Light duvet option is the perfect choice for summer, or those who are naturally warm sleepers – particularly if you suffer from night sweats. Weighing in at just 200gsm, our lightest duvet tog option offers a cool, but comfortable, night’s sleep.

How to choose a duvet tog for all year round?

Are you a “just right” sleeper? Or are you simply after the best duvet tog for all year round, so you don’t have to swap? We get it, bringing out a new duvet when the seasons change can be a chore, particularly if you’re lacking in storage. That’s why our Chatsworth and Organic Washable bedding ranges both offer up the All-Season option – a truly versatile duvet that allows you to swap the weight of your quilt to suit the season. Equipped with handy poppers, you can combine and remove duvet fills to create the ultimate year-round sleep solution.
