what tog duvet should i get

A good starting point is 4.5 tog for summer, 7 to 10.5 tog for spring/autumn, and 9 to 13.5 tog for winter. If you want one duvet all year, an all-season setup like 4.5 + 9 tog is a popular flexible option.

Quick guide

• Hot sleeper or warm bedroom: 1 to 4.5 tog.

• Average sleeper in mild weather: 6 to 10.5 tog.

• Cold sleeper or chilly room: 10.5 to 15 tog.

Best pick by season

• Summer: 2.5 to 4.5 tog.

• Spring/autumn: 7 to 10.5 tog.

• Winter: 9 to 13.5 tog, sometimes up to 15 tog in colder homes.

Simple rule

If you are unsure, choose 10.5 tog for a normal UK bedroom, then adjust down if you sleep warm or up if your room runs cold. That sits in the common middle range recommended by several bedding guides.

Easy choice

• Cold room, winter use: 10.5 to 13.5 tog.
• Mixed seasons: 7 to 10.5 tog.
• Warm room or summer only: 2.5 to 4.5 tog.

TL;DR: For most people, 7.5 to 10.5 tog is the safest all-round range, with 4.5 tog for summer and 10.5+ tog for winter.
