Let’s face it, buying a duvet isn’t the most thrilling task on the to-do list. But getting the right one? That can make all the difference between restless nights and blissful, uninterrupted sleep. And at the heart of this bedding quest is one tiny word with a big impact. Tog.
If you’ve ever wondered why your duvet makes you feel like you’re sleeping in a sauna or why you wake up shivering despite the heating being on, the tog rating is likely the culprit. So let’s break it down in simple terms and help you find your perfect sleep match.
What exactly is a tog?
The tog rating measures how well a duvet traps heat. The higher the number, the warmer the duvet. It is that simple. But it’s also wildly important. In a country where the weather is more unpredictable than a British queue, getting your tog right could mean the difference between tossing the covers off and curling up in comfort.
Here is a rough guide to get you started:
-
4.5 tog: lightweight and ideal for summer
-
10.5 tog: perfect all-rounder for year-round comfort
-
13.5 tog: warm and snug for those cold winter nights
Simple enough, but now let’s dig into how you actually choose one.
For warm sleepers or warmer nights
If you’re the kind of person who flips the pillow to the cool side or cracks a window even in November, a lighter duvet is for you. A 4.5 tog keeps things breathable and light, helping to regulate your temperature on balmy nights or in well-heated homes.
For most of the year
If your bedroom stays at a pretty stable temperature and you’re not particularly hot or cold at night, a 10.5 tog duvet is your goldilocks option. Not too heavy, not too light. Just right. It gives you comfort through the spring and autumn and can be paired with a blanket in the dead of winter if needed.
For chilly bedrooms and cold toes
Whether you’re in a draughty flat or just love feeling wrapped up and cocooned, a 13.5 tog duvet brings all the warmth you could ask for. These duvets are ideal for winter and for anyone who runs cold all year round. Rohi’s 13.5 tog microfibre duvets offer cloud-like softness while keeping heat locked in where it belongs.
It’s not just the tog
While tog tells you how warm a duvet is, the filling and stitching tell you how comfortable it will be. Rohi duvets use a hollowfibre filling that mimics the feel of down without the allergens. They’re soft, breathable and designed to distribute warmth evenly thanks to box stitching. No clumps. No cold spots. No faff.
Final thought
Choosing a duvet isn’t just about comfort, it’s about better sleep. And better sleep means better everything. Whether you’re a hot sleeper, a cold one or somewhere in between, there is a Rohi duvet that fits just right. Choose the right tog, settle in and get ready for your best night’s sleep yet.
