Our Duvet Fillings and Benefits

At Woolroom, your sleep comfort and the well-being of our sheep are our top priorities. We take sustainability seriously, which is why we've introduced our Wool ID® Programme, ensuring complete traceability throughout our product range. All our wool comes from British farmers, ensuring that our hypoallergenic duvets are entirely free from chemicals and synthetics, making them a perfect choice for those with allergies. Our duvets are designed to enhance your sleep, they deliver up to 25% deeper, more restorative rest.

If you're new to wool, here are some of its benefits:
Naturally absorbent: Wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight without feeling heavy or damp, far surpassing cotton, which begins to feel damp after just 15%. Its breathable fibresdraw moisture away from your body, releasing it into the air for a fresher, drier sleep.
Mildew and mould resistant: Wool's unique ability to repel moisture prevents the growth of mildew and mould. Its fibres allow moisture to pass through without trapping it, ensuring a clean and healthy sleep environment.
Naturally clean: Wool naturally resists static, dirt, and dust, making it easy to clean as particles sit on the surface. Its fibres feature overlapping scales, much like bird feathers, allowing dirt to be brushed off easily and stains to lift effortlessly.
Fire-retardant: Wool’s natural flame-resistant properties provide a higher level of safety, without the need for chemical treatments. Unlike synthetic fibres that easily ignite and burn quickly, wool offers peace of mind.

Duvet Tog Guide

Duvet tog meaning
A duvet tog measures thermal resistance, indicating how well the filling protects against heat. The higher the tog, the warmer and fluffier the duvet. While many seek the highest tog for comfort, it's not always the best choice. Finding the right tog depends on your personal sleeping preferences and circumstances.

Duvet tog ratings explained
Understanding duvet tog ratings is key to finding the right level of warmth and comfort for each season. Here's a quick guide to help you choose the best tog for your needs:
1-4.5 tog: Ideal for warm summer nights.
7-10.5 tog: Perfect for the transitional seasons of spring and autumn.
12-15 tog: Designed to keep you cosy during cold winter nights.
10.5 tog: A versatile all-season option that provides year-round comfort.

If you're sensitive to temperature changes, you might prefer switching duvets as the seasons shift. However, for those who want simplicity, a 10.5 tog is a reliable all-rounder.

The thickness and warmth of your duvet play a crucial role in the quality of your sleep, which is why there is a diverse range of duvet togs available. To simplify this process, below is an infographic to detail how each of our collections matches up to the different tog ratings.

Woolroom duvet tog ratings explained

In our duvet tog guide, you won’t find fixed tog ratings for our products. This is because wool's natural ability to regulate temperature - keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter - means its insulation varies with temperature.

Instead of a single rating, we provide an approximate tog range, ensuring your wool duvet adapts to your body's needs and maintains a comfortable sleep environment year-round.

What duvet tog for summer?

For summer, a duvet with a tog rating of 1-4.5 is ideal. These lighter duvets provide just enough warmth while still keeping you cool and comfortable during warmer nights.

What duvet tog for winter?

For winter, opt for a duvet with a tog rating between 12 and 15. These higher togs provide the warmth and cosiness needed for colder nights.

What factors affect what tog you need?

Sharing a Bed: For couples, it’s important to account for the additional warmth generated by another person. Wool duvets are perfect for this, as they adjust to different body temperatures, providing comfort for both partners. Additionally, selecting a larger duvet size ensures ample coverage and enhances overall comfort.
For a Warm House: In modern, well-insulated homes, a lighter duvet often suffices. A 4.5 tog duvet is ideal for year-round comfort, while a 9.0 tog duvet offers extra warmth for winter. Wool duvets effectively regulate temperature without causing overheating, and our Light duvet options provide warmth without heaviness.
For a Cold House: If your home is old or draughty, opt for a heavier tog, such as 13.5, to stay warm. Our duvetswith a Warm weighting optionprovide extra cosiness, so you can say goodnight to those chilly evenings and early morning sniffles.
