What you need to know before choosing a duvet for your little one

The scale ranges from 1 tog (the coolest) to 15 tog (the warmest).
Summer - 1-7 tog
Winter - 10.5 tog or above

There are two types of fillings when it comes to duvets: natural and synthetic. Opt for a synthetic duvet if you suffer from allergies, while natural duvets are lighter but still equally as warm.

Synthetic filling

- Great for allergy sufferers

Duvet care tips
We recommend you use duvet covers and pillow covers on all of your bedding for an economical way to preserve the quality of your bedding.
- Always follow the care instructions found on a label sewn into a seam or on the original packaging.
- Dry and air your bedding thoroughly before returning it to your bed.
- Please note, natural fiber bedding cannot be dry cleaned as chemicals will damage the fillings.
