Unraveling The Duvet Conundrum



Notwithstanding the importance of cozy bedroom throughout the year, but one cannot deny the fact that importance of a great bedroom increases many fold during winter days. If you are planning to make your bedroom a more comfortable, cozy, bright and happy place; there is one bed item which can be quite instrumental and that is duvet.

However, the question is out of plethora of duvets being sold in the market, which one is best to fulfill your needs. In this blog, I will unravel the “duvet conundrum” by parsing different types of duvets. 

First milestone for you when it comes to buying duvets is whether it should be Hungarian goose down duvets, Siberian or Canadian. This is not really something to worry about as this is more or less hype. However, the little difference is that duvets filled with the Hungarian downs are considered to be more for the comfort freaks and Siberian filled duvets are considered to be for the people looking for the duvets which are more thermal in nature. 

Nevertheless, in order to measure which duvet is more thermal in nature and which is less thermal in nature, there is another very important yardstick to measure that and that is tog rating of the duvets.

Which tog rating is for which season?

If you happen to be a UK resident and have to combat with the cruel UK winter, no need to think about anything and get the microfibre duvets or 13.5 tog duvet. However, for summer and fall season, duvet with the rating of 4.5 will be ideal as it is best for the high temperature. And if it is about buying a duvet for the moderate temperature, go for the tog rating somewhere around 8.5. There is a simple formula about the tog ratings, duvets with higher tog rating are for the cold temperature and duvet with low tog ratings are for the high temperature.

Precisely, buying a right duvet to fulfill your need is not at all a rocket science. Just keep in mind the things mentioned above and you are all set to buy kick ass duvets for the coming winters.
