Understanding Tog Rating
Tog rating is a standardized measurement used worldwide to evaluate the thermal performance of duvets. This scale provides valuable insight into the level of thermal resistance and overall warmth a duvet offers. Contrary to popular belief, thickness alone does not determine a duvet's warmth.
Exploring the Scale:
The tog rating scale ranges from 1 to 15, with lower numbers indicating lighter, cooler protection, and higher numbers representing increased thermal insulation and coziness. Lighter duvets with lower tog ratings are ideal for warmer climates or as an additional layer of comfort year-round. On the other hand, higher tog ratings provide optimal warmth for winter nights and chilly temperatures.
Choosing the Right Tog:
While many households opt for duvets at both ends of the scale to accommodate seasonal changes, a middle-weight duvet with a tog rating of 10.5 offers versatility and comfort throughout the year.
Understanding tog ratings empowers you to select the perfect duvet for your comfort needs, ensuring a restful night's sleep in any season.
Caring for Your Duvet: Washing Tips
Proper care and maintenance are essential for keeping your duvet clean and cozy for years to come. Here are some important tips to follow:
Read the Label:
Before washing your duvet, carefully read the label for specific care instructions. Different fillings and fabrics may require different washing methods and temperature limits specified by the manufacturer.
Choose the Right Washing Machine:
Ensure you have access to a large capacity washing machine, ideally with a drum size of +15kgs. This allows the duvet filling to move freely during the wash cycle, ensuring thorough cleaning.
Temperature and Cycle:
Synthetic-filled duvets can typically be washed at temperatures between 40-60 degrees Celsius to effectively eliminate dust mites. Use a gentle cycle to minimize agitation and protect the duvet fibers.
Drying Process:
For synthetic duvets, consider using a tumble dryer to complete the drying process. Make sure your tumble dryer is large enough to accommodate the duvet. Adding tennis balls to the dryer can help prevent clumping and ensure even drying.
Natural Fillings:
Drying natural-filled duvets thoroughly after washing is crucial. Feather-filled duvets may require professional cleaning or specialized drying equipment due to their size and weight. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions, and consider professional cleaning for optimal results and longevity.
Top Tip:
To maintain the fluffiness of your duvet while drying, try tossing a few tennis balls into the dryer with it. This helps prevent clumping and ensures an even distribution of filling.
By following these tips and guidelines, you can keep your duvet clean, fresh, and comfortable for years to come.
