What makes a duvet suited to winter

Winter duvets generally sit at the heavier end of the UK tog scale, typically 13.5 tog or above, providing noticeably more warmth than a year-round or summer-weight option. The extra insulation matters most in colder bedrooms, older or less well-insulated homes, or simply for anyone who feels the cold overnight regardless of central heating.

Choosing between 13.5 and 15 tog for winter

Our 13.5 tog winter duvets provide a practical level of insulation for many UK winter bedrooms. Choose one of our warmest winter duvets if your bedroom remains particularly cold, your property is draughty, your heating is inconsistent or you have previously found 13.5 tog insufficient.

Do you need a winter duvet if your home is well heated?

Central heating changes the equation. In a consistently warm and well-insulated bedroom, one of our medium-weight duvets may provide enough warmth even during winter. A dedicated 13.5 or 15 tog winter duvet becomes more worthwhile when heating is inconsistent, the room is draughty or you naturally prefer more insulation overnight.

Switching between winter and lighter duvets seasonally

Switching between a winter-weight duvet and a lighter duvet is a practical option when your bedroom temperature changes significantly across the year. Browse our lightweight duvets for summer when warmer nights arrive, or explore our duvets for year-round use to compare separate tog ratings for a seasonal setup. Store whichever duvet is not in use somewhere dry and breathable.

FAQ

What tog rating is best for a UK winter?
13.5 tog covers most UK winters comfortably, with 15 tog suited to particularly cold rooms or anyone who feels the cold more than average.
Do I need a winter duvet if I have central heating?
Not always — in a consistently warm, well-insulated bedroom, a mid-weight duvet may be sufficient even in winter. A dedicated winter duvet is more worthwhile if heating is inconsistent or the room runs cold regardless.
Is 15 tog necessary, or is 13.5 tog usually enough for winter?
For most UK bedrooms, 13.5 tog is sufficient. 15 tog is worth considering specifically for particularly cold rooms or if 13.5 tog has previously felt insufficient.
How do I store my summer duvet while using a winter one?
Keep it somewhere dry and well-ventilated, ideally in a breathable storage bag rather than sealed plastic, to prevent dampness building up over the months it's not in use.
Can a winter duvet be used with a lighter duvet as an all-seasons setup?
Yes. A lighter duvet and a winter duvet can form a flexible seasonal setup, but they should be used separately rather than fastened together. Use the lighter duvet during warmer months, change to the winter duvet when temperatures fall, and store whichever duvet is not currently in use somewhere dry and breathable.
