Duvet Buying Guide
Your bedroom is your sanctuary; your home within a home. And your choice in bedding can often mean the difference between a peaceful sleep and a restless night. This guide will help you to choose the best to suit your bedding needs.
LABEL TERMS EXPLAINED
TC = threadcount (generally, the higher the threadcount, the better quality linen it is)
TOG = thermal resistance (the higher the tog value the better suited the duvet for colder nights. Low tog values are best for summer nights)
BEFORE YOU SHOP
Before you shop, find out what size bedding you'll need. Is your bed a King, Queen, Double or Single? And then look at what prints and patterns you like. Styling your bed can be a bit of a daunting task. You'll need to consider your wall colour and a theme for your room. Take our quiz and discover your decor style.
