What tog duvet do I need?

First of all, what is a tog? A tog is a unit of measurement used to indicate the warmth of a duvet; the higher the tog rating, the warmer the duvet will be. Here at Secret Linen Store, we recommend a 2.5 or 4.5 tog for the summer months, a 9 or 10.5 tog for the spring and autumn and a 13.5 or 15 tog duvet for the winter. If you want a duvet you can use it year-round, we'd recommend choosing a 9 or 10.5 tog. You can always go for an All Seasons option, which incorporates two duvets (4.5 and 10 tog) which can be used separately throughout the year but then popped together to make a 13.5 tog duvet for winter use.You can learn more about matching your duvet tog to the season in our helpful guide.

How often should I replace my duvet and pillows?

The lifespan of duvets and pillows varies depending on the fill, how regularly they’re used and how they're cared for. Sadly, over time, pillows lose shape and support, and duvets can lose their loft and insulation properties. Our top tip is to replace pillows every 1-2 years and duvets every 5-10 years.
