What is 1 tog duvet?A “tog” is a measure of thermal insulation used for duvets (also known as comforters or quilts) in the UK and some other countries. It indicates the level of warmth the duvet provides. The higher the tog rating, the warmer the duvet will be. Conversely, a lower tog rating means a lighter and cooler duvet.
Specifically, a 1 tog duvet is one of the lowest tog ratings available. It is extremely lightweight and provides minimal insulation, making it suitable for use in very warm climates or during the summer months when temperatures are high. This type of duvet is designed to keep you cool and comfortable during hot weather, preventing you from feeling too hot and stuffy while sleeping.
On the other hand, for colder weather or if you prefer a warmer sleep environment, you might want to consider duvets with higher tog ratings, ad esempio 4.5 tog, 7 tog, 10.5 tog, or even 13.5 tog, which offer more insulation and retain more body heat. The appropriate tog rating for a duvet depends on your personal preferences and the average room temperature where you sleep.
