We all love to choose the perfect bedding to suit our bedroom décor. Whether you love the subtle elegance of our grey waffle striped set, the whimsy of our Hereford floral printed covers or the opulence of our jacquard patterned set, there’s nothing better than choosing new bed sheets (except perhaps, snuggling into them).
While choosing new duvet covers and pillowcases is an enjoyable way to update your bedroom space, it’s important to think about what’s underneath them too. Choosing the right duvet can help you sleep better and feel more comfortable during the night. It’s also important to change your bedding regularly to keep your sleep area hygienic and supportive.
If you think that it’s time to make a change, we’ve put together some of the best duvets to buy to help you get a good night’s sleep – whatever the weather.
The best duvets for summer
As the weather gets warmer, many people choose to change their duvets to a lighter tog to keep cool at night. It’s easy to see why. There’s nothing worse than tossing and turning because your duvet is too hot and overheating at night can disturb the quality of your sleep too.
It’s a good idea to choose a duvet that helps to regulate heat at bedtime. Silk or wool duvets are known to keep you warm when it’s cool and cool during the warmer months, as they naturally insulate you as you sleep. Alternatively, some synthetic duvets offer climate control too. Look for duvets like our Hotel Collection Australian Wool Filled Duvet or our Slumberdown Climate Control Duvet to find the best duvet for you.
The best duvets for winter
When it gets colder, there’s nothing better than cosying into a warm and comfortable duvet. Heavier tog duvets are often the best duvet choice for winter, as they trap warm air to keep you extra snug.
If you’re looking for the best duvet to buy for winter, it’s usually a good idea to look for luxurious feather and down covers. These are often the best duvet fillings to keep you warm (although wool is a good option too). Our Dreamy Nights Goose Feather & Down Duvet or our Downland Goose Feather & Down Duvet are cosy options.
For a synthetic option, choose a hollowfibre duvet like our Silentnight Winter Warm Bundle. Hollowfibre duvets are a good choice for those with allergies too.
The best all-year-long duvets
If you don’t have the space to store seasonal duvets or simply don’t want to change your duvet for summer and winter, there are plenty of all-season duvet options available. When choosing a tog rating, look for a good mid-range duvet (between 6-8 tog is often the best duvet choice for all seasons).
In terms of the best duvet filling, look for duvets that are breathable and able to control your temperature whatever the weather. Feather duvets often work well (like our Dreamy Nights Goose Feather & Down All Seasons Duvet), as well as those filled with silk. If you prefer a synthetic duvet, look for ones that have good climate control and airflow. Our hollowfibre Downland Air Flow Control Duvet makes a good choice.
