Getting a good night’s kip when it’s hot can be a bit tricky, but with a few thoughtful touches, it’s perfectly possible.
Start by switching to a light and airy summer king size duvet, and pair it with bedding made from natural, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. Then try these simple tips for staying cool:
- Keep your curtains closed during the day to block out the heat.
- Choose lightweight pyjamas made from soft, breathable materials.
- For those extra warm nights, a cool flannel or compress on your wrists or neck can work wonders.

What’s the Best Summer King Size Duvet?
When the warmer months roll in, it’s time to swap out the layers for something lighter, and there are some fabulous choices when it comes to summer king size duvets.
Down duvets, whether it’s goose down or duck down, are a wonderfully breathable option. The natural down clusters allow air to drift through with ease, helping you stay cool and comfortable all night long. Prefer something feather-free? We’ve got that covered too.
Our hollowfibre king size duvets are filled with—you guessed it—hollow fibres, which allow air to circulate freely. If you’re after something even more high-tech, look no further than our microfibre duvets. Our Keep Me Cool duvet is packed with Climarelle® Cool technology, featuring clever microcapsules that adjust to your body’s temperature, cooling you down or warming you up as needed.
What Tog Rating is Best for a Summer King Size Duvet?
Tog stands for thermal overall grade, essentially, how warm and toasty a duvet feels. The lower the tog, the cooler the duvet, just what you need for a restful summer slumber.
A 4.5 tog king size duvet is usually a perfect pick for summer nights. But if you tend to feel extra warm while sleeping, you might find a 2.5 tog duvet offers just the right amount of cool comfort.
