Sweating too much in bed during the summer? Having to layer up in the winter because your duvet isn’t thick and warm enough? Enter all season bedding! Discover what makes wool the best year round duvet, and why it could be the solution to maintaining a comfortable sleeping temperature all year round.
Is your duvet too hot to sleep in?
If you’re finding yourself getting hot and clammy in bed at night, or you’re struggling to sleep, it could be that you’ve not picked the right duvet for you. Bedding that’s made from synthetic filled materials isn’t organic, which means there’s a non-breathable barrier between the material of your bedding and its outer cover.
What this means for you is that your body heat has nowhere to escape to, in turn trapping it and causing you to feel excessively warm, sweaty and uncomfortable. Sound familiar? The solution is finding the right year-round duvet to make sure you can get the best night’s sleep every night of the year.
Or, is your duvet not keeping you warm enough?
Shivering awake in the night, wondering why your new snug winter duvet isn’t keeping you toasty warm like it should be? You might not have the best all season duvet for through the year when you need warmth and comfort. But how do you find the right duvet that keeps you cool when you need it and warm when temperatures drop
How to find the best duvet for all seasons
Which warm duvet for winter should you choose? Well, it’s all about tog ratings, or ‘thermal overall grade’, as it’s also referred to. Just remember, you want a higher tog rating in the colder months to keep heat in, and a lower tog rating in the summer evenings to allow for a breathable night’s sleep.
Remember that you’ll want to keep in mind breathability too. Heavier duvet will inevitably have a higher tog rating and keep you warmer. But the key to keeping cool at night when summer arrives is choosing a duvet that also helps you regulate your body temperature. Breathability is everything
What makes a good year round duvet?
The great thing about an all season duvet is that it’s a heavy but cool duvet, all in one. How? You can use the poppers or Velcro on all season bedding to open it up into two duvet with different tog ratings, depending on how you want to use it.
In the colder months, fasten your all season duvet together to combine both tog ratings and benefit from the extra insulation. And in summer, store away your winter weight duvet so that you’re left behind with your lighter, summer weight option
How does a year-round duvet work?
Here’s an example of how you can use the same all in one, all season duvet to sleep warm or cool depending on the time of year.
| Example of tog rating | Season |
|---|---|
| 4.5 tog | Spring/Summer |
| 9 tog | Autumn |
| 13.5 tog (combined) | Winter |
