Best for toddlers

Kids dream, wriggle and move around a lot during their sleep, and they can't regulate their body temperature the same way as adults. They are more prone to overheating. This is why it's important to choose the right duvet that is appropriate for their age and sleep habits.

Toddlers can start with a duvet ranging from 1.0 to 4 tog during summer. They can then increase to 7.5 tog when they become older. This will help them stay warm enough even during cold winter nights, but not too hot.

Choose a duvet made of natural fibres like cotton that are hypoallergenic and breathable.

Another method to select the right duvet tog is to look at the type of filling. Natural fillings, like duck and goose down provide good insulation, but also let your body regulate temperature. This is important for those who sleep hot or live in warm climates. Synthetic duvet fillings, however are less breathable, and can lead to overheating.

Also, you must consider the size of your bed when selecting the best duvet. Duvets come in different sizes, from single to super-king. A duvet that is too big could cause discomfort when sleeping.

As a general rule that a duvet with a higher tog rating means that it is warmer, but there are many factors that can impact how a duvet performs, and what level of warmth is the best for you. It's worth researching the ratings of different duvets, taking into account the seasons and your personal preferences, to find the right duvet for you.
