About this deal

The temperature you see on the care label is the highest temperature the duvet can take, so it’s okay to wash it at a lower temperature to be kinder on your product and the planet. Running a prewash can help with heavily soiled linens and most modern detergents provide excellent results at low temperatures. Customers are saying: “This quilt feels so soft and warm. I feel like I’m sleeping at a luxury hotel.” Microfibre– the 'luxury' version of hollowfibre, a microfibre fill is made of much finer strands of polyester resulting in a very lightweight duvet with a, yes, more luxurious feel. Some compare microfibre to the feel of down, but it has the upside of not running the risk of animal cruelty. However, again, being made of synthetics, the environmental impact of production and disposal is a concern. Like hollowfibre, microfibre can also cause overheating.

Buy it if: you're looking for the very best duvet for a great night's sleep. This wool-filled duvet is an investment, but we've tried and tested some of the best winter duvets on the market, and in our opinion, this is the cream of the crop. It's the warmest we've come across, keeping our testers warm and toasty throughout the night without any of the overheating or night sweats that occurred with other high tog options. That's thanks to the naturally thermoregulating properties of wool that allow moisture to escape whilst still providing insulation. Handmade in Yorkshire using 100% traceable British Cheviot wool and certified organic cotton this is also a great eco-friendly option, with wool completely biodegradable.That said, personally, we think 13.5 tog remains one of the best winter duvet weights, with some finding 15 tog can retain heat a little too much during the night and lead to overheating. The best summer duvets are lightweight and breathable, but they won’t give you that cosy warmth you’re craving during the winter. “I would not recommend duvets that are thin, have a poor-quality fill, or are made with linen fabrics, simply because they’re not ideal for the colder months” says Simba’s Mary Love. “You may find yourself shivering in the night!” Customers are saying: “This all seasons duvet is so fluffy and doesn’t lose any of its superb comfort. My husband is a very hot sleeper and I’m a cold sleeper so body temperature is important, but we’re both comfortable all year round.” Buy it if: you want an affordable winter duvet that still feels both warm and luxurious. This recycled polyester fill duvet has 10% silk mixed in, and whilst the proportion doesn't sound huge, it really makes a difference to the way this duvet feels, with a more luxurious touch and really nice drape on the bed, whilst still being lightweight. Even better it's a relatively budget buy, and made from certified recycled polyester from waste (like plastic bottles or manufacturing off-cuts) which helps the movement towards a more circular economy by reducing waste going to landfill. Compared with virgin polyester, recycled polyester helps conserve crude oil reserves during fibre production.

Then there are the more traditional, natural fillingsto consider. These range from all types of feathers and down to wool filling. Obviously, it isn't always convenient to have a different duvet for each season, so the middle ground of the 10.5 tog duvet is one of the most popular options. Keep light and dark coloured washes separate to keep things bright. You can also use 'white' washing powder with optical brightening agents. GLAMOUR tested review: “It’s another fairly expensive number, but Emma often has big savings so look out for those throughout the year.” Emma Henderson.Buy it if: you're looking for luxury as well as warmth. No duvet fill feels quite as sumptuous as down, and this 90% Hungarian goose-down and 10% goose feather option is one of the best. It's super warm, drapes beautifully, and feels super luxurious. The all-seasons option also offers brilliant versatility; use the 4.5 and 9.0 duvets separately in warmer seasons and combine when the evenings start to drop in temperature to create 13.5 togs of winter warmth. Plus, although it's an investment, the all-seasons design means you'll also be kitted out with cooler tog duvets for spring, summer and autumn. Pros: Sustainably made, versatile – this is the only duvet you’ll need to buy, offers year-round comfort, free, carbon-neutral 3 day delivery This lofty and luxurious, feels-like-down duvet comes from Dusk, the brand behind some of the best quality bed sheets, duvet covers, bath towels and pillows out there. If you're looking for a non-feather option but with a really luxurious feel, this is it. It's made of the brand's 4.5 tog and 9.5 tog duvets, both delicately fastened together with buttons to give you the flexibility to switch your duvet up depending on the seasons. Encased in breathable 100% cotton percale, it's also a great choice for those with allergies. To help you get to grips with the basics, we've broken down the pros and cons of most common duvet fillings below. Although you can get duvets in almost any tog rating, the most common togs are 4.5 tog which makes a great summer duvet weight, 10.5 tog which tends to be the best bet for autumn and spring, and 13.5 tog which offers good winter warmth.
