TogRating

When the cooler months approach, or if you're simply someone who values a cozy night's sleep, the warmth and insulation of your bedding becomes a top priority.

Enter the "tog rating."

This might sound like a technical term reserved for textile experts, but it's actually a straightforward and helpful metric that every consumer can benefit from understanding.

A tog rating, primarily used in the UK and some European countries, measures the thermal resistance and insulation capabilities of textiles, especially duvets and blankets.

Think of it as a warmth scale: the higher the tog rating, the warmer the duvet.

A higher tog rating indicates that the duvet has better insulating properties, trapping warm air and keeping you snug.

For instance:

A lightweight summer duvet might have a tog rating of 4.5.
A medium weight for spring and autumn might be around 7.5-10.5 togs.
A warm winter duvet can have a rating of 13.5 to 15 togs.

The beauty of understanding tog ratings lies in its practical application. By choosing a duvet with the appropriate tog rating for the season or your personal warmth preference, you can ensure comfortable sleep year-round.

It's not just about the thickness or weight of the duvet, but its ability to provide warmth without being overly heavy.

So, next time you're shopping for bedding, pay attention to the tog rating. It's a simple way to ensure you're investing in the perfect duvet for your comfort needs.

Sweet dreams!
