Launched in the 1940s by the Shirley Institute, the Shirley Togmeter is the standard apparatus for rating thermal resistance of textiles, commonly known as the Tog Test. This apparatus, described in BS 4745:2005, [1] measures a sample of textile, either between two metal plates (for underclothing) or between a metal plate and free air (for outer layers). Each industry has its own specifications and methods for measuring thermal properties. This article needs additional citations for verification.

The basic unit of insulation coefficient is the R SI, (1m 2⋅K/W). 1tog = 0.1 R SI. There is also a US clothing unit, the clo, equivalent to 0.155 R SI or 1.55tog, described in ASTM D-1518. As most baby monitors include a thermometer, this can help you to regulate the room’s temperature effectively, if not, it would be worth purchasing a room thermometer.

Finding the warmth level you want from your bedding is one of the most important decisions to make when you choose a duvet. Shops will mark their duvets with a ‘TOG’ number, but also may say ‘summer’ / ‘winter’ or ‘all seasons duvet’. Here we’ve tried to explain the difference between them.As an interesting fact, if you are looking for interesting facts around duvets, is that the TOG Rating was developed by the Shirley Institute in Manchester, founded in 1920 as the British Cotton Association Research Institute. Whilst summer isn’t quite over yet, the leaves on the trees are beginning to fall which can only mean one thing, Autumn is on its way! The tog is a measure of thermal insulance of a unit area, also known as thermal resistance. It is commonly used in the textile industry and often seen quoted on, for example, duvets and carpet underlay. Also, as we think ahead to the cooler weather to come over the next few months, it could be worthwhile thinking about getting a new duvet.

We’ve all at some point experienced the discomfort of feeling overly hot in bed or waking up in a sweat which is very unpleasant, and certainly doesn’t make sleeping any easier. A few manufacturers have marketed combined duvet sets consisting of two duvets; one of approximately 4.5 tog and one of approximately 9.0 tog. These can be used individually as summer (4.5 tog) and spring/autumn (9.0 tog). When joined together using press studs around the edges, or Velcro strips across each of the corners, they become a 13.5 tog winter duvet and as such can be made to suit all seasons.We suggest starting off with a lighter weight duvet such as our Silentnight Cooler Summer Duvet 4.5 Tog whilst the child is still quite young, before moving up to one of our Silentnight Deep Sleep Duvet 7.5 Tog duvets when they become a little bit older. Tog: This rating is perfect for Spring and Autumn through which it isn’t quite warm enough to warrant the heavier duvet, but you still want to remain cosy and warm.

Now that you understand the meaning of duvet togs and why it’s so important, here is our guide to which tog rating is most suitable for each season.

During the change in weather throughout the different seasons, one important consideration that you have to think about is to ensure that your duvet is at the right temperature to allow you to be sleeping comfortably and soundly. When the child becomes older, you can start looking at something which has a slightly higher tog rating such as our Snug Bed2Go Bedset 10.5 Tog duvet. If though, you are unsure as to which duvet tog to go for, it’s essential that your child is comfortable and not overly warm, at least until they get older. Therefore, we would suggest going for a lower tog of duvet. but keeping a blanket on the bed for added warmth when necessary. British duvets are sold in steps of 1.5 tog from 3.0 tog (summer) to 16.5 tog (extra-warm). The stated values are a minimum; actual values may be up to 3 tog higher. Also, these values assume there is no added duvet cover that can trap air. These handy duvets consist of two separate lightweight duvets, that when positioned together, form a higher tog duvet for winter. You might be questioning why ensuring that your duvet is the right temperature is so important. The reason it matters is because it plays a big influence on your body’s ability to feel comfortable and get a good night’s rest.The tog rating measures the scale of the duvet’s warmth, referring to the efficiency of the material’s thermal insulation and means that not only temperature is affected, but the weight and softness too will depend on the tog rating. We understand that it might not always be practical to keep four different duvets specifically for each bed in your home, so why not go for an all seasons duvet instead?
