Product Information

MADE IN THE UK: manufactured in Yorkshire by a family business with over 100 years’ experience in bedding Buy it if: you want the luxury of Hungarian goose-down combined with plenty of weight options. As well as individual 2.5, 4.5 and 9 tog duvets, Scooms also offers a host of all-season combination duvets, with a 7 tog (the 2.5 tog duvet plus a 4.5 tog), 11 tog (the 2.5 plus 9 tog combo), and 13.5 tog (4.5 plus 9 tog). Each all-seasons option comes with press studs to fasten the two duvets together. Personally, we'd opt for the 13.5 tog for year-round versatility.

Don't buy it if: your priority right now is affordability or ease of care. Although we think it's well worth investing in the great night's sleep it offers, there's no denying the price is prohibitive, and this duvet is dry clean only. Emily Attwood, founder of sleep-brand scooms agrees, ''We’d always advise a 9 tog to 13.5 tog for the winter months as this is ideal and will keep you warm. If your house is always on the warmer side, then a 9 tog duvet would probably suit you better throughout the winter months, and you wouldn’t want to go any higher. This will prevent you from overheating which can disrupt your sleep.' Buy it if: you're looking for luxury as well as warmth. No duvet fill feels quite as sumptuous as down, and this Soak & Sleep Hungarian goose-down option is one of the best quality we've come across. It's super warm yet lightweight, drapes beautifully on the bed, and feels super luxurious – you'll instantly feel like your bedding has levelled up. The all-seasons option also offers brilliant versatility; use the 4.5 and 9.0 duvets separately in warmer seasons and combine to create 13.5 togs of winter warmth. First up, it's synthetic fillings. These duvets are filled with manmade fibres, like polyester and polymide that are made from petroleum-based plastics.Another solution is to opt for an 'all-season' duvet. This consists of two separate lighter tog duvets that can be joined together (usually by way of press studs) to make a warmer winter duvet. Most commonly an all-season duvet will include a 4.5 tog and 9 tog duvet that can create a 13.5 tog duvet once combined, or a 4.5 tog and 10.5 tog duvet that will create a warmer 15 tog combination. Don't buy it if: you really want to layer on the warmth. This 13.5 tog duvet is plenty snuggly enough, but we think the wool and down options just pip it to the post in terms of cosiness. That said, this synthetic option is far easier to care for as it's machine washable and can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. If you’re struggling to work out what the best tog duvet is to see you through summer heatwaves and plummeting winter temperatures then an all-season duvet could be the answer. Don't buy it if: you truly want to splash out on the best duvet for your boudoir. This option is very good for its price, but the higher feather mix does mean it feels more 'clumpy' than the 90% down alternatives on our list. That said, this is still a great buy, and the addition of feathers does make the duvet a little more breathable than a duvet with a higher down percentage, albeit not quite as warm.

MADE IN THE UK: manufactured in Yorkshire by a family business with over 100 years experience in bedding. Then there are the more traditional, natural fillingsto consider. These range from all types of feathers and down to wool filling. Buy it if: you want an affordable winter duvet that still feels both warm and luxurious. This recycled polyester fill duvet has 10% silk mixed in, and whilst the proportion doesn't sound huge, it really makes a difference to the way this duvet feels, with a more luxurious touch and really nice drape on the bed, whilst still being lightweight. Even better it's a relatively budget buy, and made from certified recycled polyester from waste (like plastic bottles or manufacturing off-cuts) which helps the movement towards a more circular economy by reducing waste going to landfill. Compared with virgin polyester, recycled polyester helps conserve crude oil reserves during fibre production. Long thought of as the Holy Grail of duvet fillings, down creates a plump, squishy and super soft duvet.However, that luxury feel comes with a luxury price tag to match. Obviously, it isn't always convenient to have a different duvet for each season, so the middle ground of the 10.5 tog duvet is one of the most popular options.

Although it will mean spending a little more, and may depend on your bed frame height and style, we'd generally advise sizing up with your duvet, especially if you sleep with a partner.
