FAQs

What tog duvet is best for UK winters?

A 13.5-tog duvet is ideal for most UK bedrooms in winter. If your home runs warm, a 10.5-tog with a fleece throw works too.

Are brushed cotton sheets worth it?

Yes. Brushed cotton feels warmer to the touch than standard cotton, making it much more comfortable on cold UK nights.

How often should I replace my duvet?

Every 5–10 years depending on quality. If it feels flat or lumpy, it is time for a replacement.
