Product Information

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.

Don't buy it if: you're on a tight budget as this luxury duvet has a luxury price tag. If you're a hot sleeper or suffer from night sweats then you might find down too warm; opt for a more breathable wool-filled duvet instead to avoid overheating. And, if you're vegan, then the feather and down fill won't be for you. 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.

Whether you want a warmer winter duvet to keep you snug as temperatures plummet, you're fed up with overheating during the night and are looking for a more breathable duvet, or your budget buy is past its best and you're looking to invest in a duvet that will add some real luxury to bedtime, we've rounded up the best duvets to shop in this guide. Best winter duvets 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. Pros: Ideal for allergy sufferers, low maintenance, promises year-round comfort, can be machine washed at up to 60 degrees and comes with free delivery Customers are saying: “So snuggly and warm but lightweight too, comparable to the down duvet I’ve had for years. A great product I wish I’d bought it sooner.” 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.

As diverse as the fill materials on offer are (think feather & down, wool, and a host of clever synthetic hollow-fibre and microfibres that mimic the best natural fills), there are also different types of duvet to choose from: 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.Pros: Affordable for a year-round duvet that promises to keep you cosy warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Cons: A wool duvets can be high maintenance and apart from a dry clean or a light spot clean, it will need a professional launder, it won’t appreciate a machine wash. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 verifies that a product has been tested for harmful substances. If a product carries the STANDARD 100 label you can be certain that every component (thread, button, zip etc) has been tested for harmful substances and is therefore harmless in ecological terms. 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. 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.

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. Although you can get duvets in almost any tog rating, the most common togs are 4.5 tog which makes a great summer duvet weight, 10.5 tog which tends to be the best bet for autumn and spring, and 13.5 tog which offers good winter warmth. Pros: Sustainably made, versatile – this is the only duvet you’ll need to buy, offers year-round comfort, free, carbon-neutral 3 day deliveryGLAMOUR tested review: “It’s another fairly expensive number, but Emma often has big savings so look out for those throughout the year.” Emma Henderson.
