What makes a duvet suited to winter

Winter duvets generally use higher tog ratings to provide greater thermal insulation during colder nights. Ratings such as 13.5, 15 and 16 tog retain progressively more warmth, making them suitable for colder bedrooms, less well-insulated homes or sleepers who naturally prefer more warmth overnight.

13.5 vs 15 vs 16 tog for winter

Our 13.5 tog winter duvets provide a warm option for many UK winter bedrooms. 15 tog duvets provide more thermal insulation for colder rooms or sleepers who naturally feel the cold, while our 16 tog duvet provides the highest level of insulation currently available in the Stoftly range.

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

Not necessarily. In a consistently warm and well-insulated bedroom, a 10.5 tog duvet may provide enough insulation even during winter. Higher ratings such as 13.5, 15 or 16 tog may be more suitable when the bedroom becomes colder overnight, heating is inconsistent or you naturally prefer more warmth in bed.

Switching between winter and lighter duvets seasonally

Switching between a higher-tog winter duvet and a lower-tog duvet can be a practical option when your bedroom temperature changes significantly across the year. Browse our summer duvets when warmer nights arrive, or explore our all-season duvet options to compare different 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?
There is no single best tog for every UK winter bedroom. A 13.5 tog duvet is a warm option for many cooler bedrooms, 15 tog provides more thermal insulation for colder conditions, and 16 tog may suit particularly cold bedrooms or sleepers who naturally prefer extra warmth. At Stoftly, 16 tog is currently our highest-insulation option.
Do I need a winter duvet if I have central heating?
Not always. In a consistently warm, well-insulated bedroom, a 10.5 tog duvet may provide enough insulation even during winter. Higher tog ratings such as 13.5, 15 or 16 tog may be more suitable if your bedroom becomes colder overnight, your heating is inconsistent or you naturally prefer more warmth.
Is 15 tog necessary, or is 13.5 tog usually enough for winter?
It depends on your bedroom conditions and how warm you naturally sleep. A 13.5 tog duvet is suitable for many colder bedrooms, while 15 tog provides more thermal insulation if you need extra warmth. If you want an even higher level of insulation, Stoftly also offers a 16 tog duvet, which is currently our highest-insulation option.
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.
