FAQs
What does '10.5 Tog' mean?
Tog is a measure of thermal insulation. A 10.5 tog rating indicates a medium warmth level, generally suitable for spring, summer, and autumn in most UK climates.
Is this duvet suitable for people with allergies?
Yes, the microfibre filling is hypoallergenic, making it a good alternative to natural down for those with allergies or sensitivities.
How often should I wash my duvet?
It is recommended to wash your duvet a few times a year, or more frequently if needed due to spills or soiling. Regular airing can help keep it fresh between washes.
Can I use this duvet all year round?
The 10.5 tog rating is best suited for spring and autumn. For very warm summer nights, you might prefer a lighter tog (e.g., 4.5 tog), and for cold winter nights, a higher tog (e.g., 13.5 tog) would be more appropriate.
What is the benefit of the internal sections?
The internal sections, or quilting, prevent the microfibre filling from shifting and clumping. This ensures the filling remains evenly distributed, providing consistent warmth and loft across the entire surface of the duvet.
How do I ensure the duvet dries completely?
It is essential to tumble dry the duvet on a low heat setting. Use dryer balls and check periodically, ensuring it is thoroughly dry before removing it from the dryer to prevent dampness and potential mildew.
Troubleshooting
Duvet feels lumpy or uneven.
Ensure the duvet is completely dry after washing. Use a large-capacity dryer and add dryer balls or clean tennis balls to help break up clumps and restore loft during the drying cycle. Airing out the duvet may also help.
Duvet does not seem to be lofting properly.
Allow the duvet to air out for a full day after unpacking or washing. Gentle tumble drying on low heat with dryer balls can help re-fluff the filling.
Duvet feels too cool for winter.
Consider layering this 10.5 tog duvet with a lighter blanket or a warmer duvet for colder months. Alternatively, explore higher tog-rated duvets for winter use.
Fabric feels slightly stiff after washing.
Avoid using fabric softener, which can stiffen cotton. A gentle tumble dry with dryer balls can help soften the fabric. Ensure you are using a mild detergent.

Care:
