Does Size Matter?

Yes, especially if you or your sleeping partner is a duvet-hogger! Use a tape measure to check the size of your bed, and match it to the closest size using the measurements below. Choosing a King or Superking duvet will give you plenty to share.

Single 90cm x 190cm
Double 135cm x 190cm
King 150cm x 200cm
Super 180cm x 200cm

Warm Or Cool?

Whether you are naturally hot-blooded or a fully-fledged member of the bed socks brigade, the tog of your duvet determines how warm or cool you'll be at night. Here's a guide:

Cool (4.5 tog)

A cool duvet, which traps only a little heat, so would generally be used in the summer.

Medium (9.0 tog or 10.5 tog)

A warm duvet, generally used in the spring and autumn although some people use these all year round.

Warm (13.5 tog)

Warm and cosy, great for snuggling into during winter.

All Season (4.5 tog + 9.0 tog)

The perfect solution for all year round use as the separate summer duvet and spring/autumn duvet can be buttoned together to form a warm winter duvet.
