What should I look for when buying a duvet?
There are many factors to take into account, including:
1. Tog rating
2. The warmth the duvet offers
the current weather conditions (e.g. if it’s a heat wave, or a bitterly cold winter, or anything in between)
3. Whether the duvet will keep you warm if you are a cold sleeper, or if it will keep you cool if you are a hot sleeper
4. The material
5.Whether it is the right size for your bed
6. Whether the duvet is hypoallergenic
7. The filling- natural fillings are breathable, cosy, and soft; whereas synthetic fillings are machine washable, anti-allergenic and easy to clean.
8. The thread count
9. Whether you have any health conditions that affect your sleep
10. The cost of the duvet
11. Whether the duvet will provide the right temperature regulation for you and your partner, if you share a bed
How often should you change your duvet?
At Bedding Comfort Store, we look at this question from a few different perspectives. Let us tell you more!
If you want the expert’s opinion, it is widely reported that the Sleep Council say duvets should be changed every five years. This is just based on standard bedding though so if you invest in a premium duvet product, the lifespan is likely to be even longer.
We think that when considering how often you should change your duvet, it’s important to consider the reason why as this gives you a better insight into how your sleep could be improved with the right bedding. With 67% of adults saying they suffer from disrupted sleep, getting your cosy setup just right is essential.
How do I know what type of duvet is right for me?
There are many options when choosing a new duvet for you, making investing easier as your needs can be exactly met.
It would help if you considered what season you need your duvet for, as this will dictate the tog that you purchase. For winter duvets, anything from a 10.5 to a 15 tog is ideal for keeping you warm no matter how cold it gets! Typically, people want to know what the difference is when it comes to winter duvets. If you want to choose between a 13.5 or a 15 tog design, check out this blog for more information.
If you find that your 15 tog duvet is too warm, you can shop for a summer duvet which is normally available in anything from a 1.5 to a 10 tog design.
Allergies may also be something that dictates your purchase. In this circumstance, you can select a hypoallergenic design that ensures no issues arise. Our anti-allergy duvets are designed to stop nasties from getting in and allow air to flow for ultimate comfort and support.
You can also choose your duvet based on other factors, such as ones that have a hotel-quality duvet feel, soft touch duvets for added comfort, or all-season duvets, which will ensure you sleep perfectly every night of the year.
