Choosing the Right Bedding Fabric
Duvet Covers & Duvet Sets
A duvet cover protects your duvet while giving you an easy way to change the look of your bedroom. Duvet sets typically include a duvet cover and matching pillowcase or pillowcases, making it simple to create a coordinated look. When choosing a duvet cover, consider the fabric, feel, fastening and design. Cotton and cotton-rich options are great for breathable everyday bedding, while brushed or teddy finishes can add extra cosiness during colder months.
What Is Thread Count?
Thread count refers to the number of threads woven together across a square inch of fabric. Generally, a higher thread count can create a smoother, more closely woven feel, although thread count isn't the only thing that determines quality. The type of cotton, how the fabric is woven and the finish can all affect how bedding feels. For a soft and comfortable night's sleep, consider the overall fabric and finish alongside thread count.
Choosing Your Duvet Tog
Your duvet tog rating indicates how warm the duvet is, with a higher tog generally providing more warmth.
4.5 Tog: A lightweight option that's ideal for warmer nights and summer months.
7.5 Tog: A versatile mid-weight option for those who prefer something between a summer and winter duvet.
10.5 Tog: A popular all-rounder that provides warmth without feeling too heavy, making it suitable for many people throughout the year.
13.5 Tog: A warmer option designed for colder nights and winter months.
You can also choose an all-season duvet, which combines two separate duvets that can be used individually or fastened together depending on the season.
Choosing the Right Bed Sheets
Things to Consider When Choosing Bedding
Choose a lower tog duvet if you tend to feel warm at night, or a higher tog for colder months.
Lightweight cotton and textured fabrics such as seersucker can be great for warmer months, while brushed and teddy fabrics add extra cosiness when temperatures drop.
Do you like crisp and fresh, smooth and silky, soft and cosy or textured bedding? The fabric and finish will make a big difference.
Check the depth of your mattress before buying a fitted sheet, particularly if you use a mattress topper.
If your bedding needs frequent washing, consider easy-care fabrics such as polycotton or durable cotton blends.
From plain and neutral bedding to floral, character and textured designs, choose colours, patterns and finishes that complement the rest of your room.
