    Duvets

    Hi
    I’m looking for a new duvet and seem to have gone down a rabbit hole.
    I have a duck feather at the moment 13.5 tog and was looking for a replacement. I’ve found one in John Lewis but they also do a duck down one which is twice the amount but supposedly lighter. Not sure if lighter is better. I thought about getting a 9 plus 4.5 tog, not because I will use them for different seasons but though they might stay plumper being two units clipped together.

    Anyone else bought one recently
    Thanks
    Andy

    Wool!

    You can thank me in a year's time when you've stayed cool in summer and toasty in winter.

    Different make here but yes, wool is really an eye opener.

    Wool, it’s the future. They don’t have a tog rating but weight, light, medium and heavy. We bought a heavy weight at first because I like to be wrapped up like an Eskimo with a chill but it was ridiculously hot, bought the light weight and it was perfect all year round.

    We got a Baavet several years ago and have never looked back. Mid-weight is fine no matter how cold it gets and works well into quite warm nights as well.

    We've got the Synthetic Soft Touch 3-in-1 13.5 Tog (9+4.5) from John Lewis and it's superb.

    Very warm and very light.

    £105 for the Super King.

    How many beavers would you need to make a duvet?

    Go on you tube - type in ‘Rhod Gilbert Bedding’.

    Thank you for noticing. Sorry I missed the fleece one when price was mentioned.

    well this tread lead me down a expensive rabbit hole, new Baavet quilt, new devon wool mattress topper , and new bamboo cover & sheet & pillows, hopefully the old night sweats will be easier to deal with and a bit more sleep.

    Keep an eye on the Baavet Baagin Box - you can save a significant amount if you don't mind a bit of wonky stitching which you won't see once it's in the duvet cover.

    I liked it, especially for the adjustment in fill it provides compared to the usual sealed feather ones, but then moved to a memory foam one which I prefer.

    I have two I'm not using - one unopened, one used for a couple of nights. I haven't dared put them on SC.
