About this deal

Microfibre– the 'luxury' version of hollowfibre, a microfibre fill is made of much finer strands of polyester resulting in a very lightweight duvet with a, yes, more luxurious feel. Some compare microfibre to the feel of down, but it has the upside of not running the risk of animal cruelty. However, again, being made of synthetics, the environmental impact of production and disposal is a concern. Like hollowfibre, microfibre can also cause overheating. To help you get to grips with the basics, we've broken down the pros and cons of most common duvet fillings below. Buy it if: you want an affordable winter duvet that still feels both warm and luxurious. This recycled polyester fill duvet has 10% silk mixed in, and whilst the proportion doesn't sound huge, it really makes a difference to the way this duvet feels, with a more luxurious touch and really nice drape on the bed, whilst still being lightweight. Even better it's a relatively budget buy, and made from certified recycled polyester from waste (like plastic bottles or manufacturing off-cuts) which helps the movement towards a more circular economy by reducing waste going to landfill. Compared with virgin polyester, recycled polyester helps conserve crude oil reserves during fibre production. As well as togs to consider, there are also plenty of options when it comes to fillings: you might choose a practical synthetic filling like microfibre or hollowfibre, the luxury and warmth of feathers or down, or even natural fillings such as wool and silk. However, if you’re a cold-blooded sort that always feels the cold (or your bedroom is a bit draughty), you can find duvets of up to 15 togs, and even more if you shop at a specialist retailer.

With sleep experts like The Sleep Council suggesting your duvet should be replaced once every five years (google ‘dust mites’ if you are curious why), there really is no better time to invest in the perfect duvet. That said, five years is the recommended average and some more expensive, high quality, machine washable duvets will last much longer. Shop House & Garden's best duvets at a glance If you're a hot sleeper or suffer from night sweats then you might also find this high down-mix fill too warm; opt for a more breathable wool-filled duvet like Floks Luxury British All Seasons Wool Duvetinstead to avoid overheating. Don't buy it if: the price makes your eyes water. As well as being the softest duvet fill, down is also the most expensive fill, and 90% Hungarian goose-down is pretty much the best quality you can get. If you're a hot sleeper or suffer from night sweats then you might find down too warm; opt for a more breathable wool-filled duvet instead to avoid overheating. And, if you're vegan, then the feather and down fill won't be for you. An all-season duvet is made up of two separate duvets of differing togs – one lightweight and one midweight – that can be attached together into one single heavyweight duvet or used separately. The idea being that you can mix and match to ensure you have the perfect weight duvet for spring, summer, autumn, and winter.Don't buy it if: your priority right now is affordability or ease of care. Although we think it's well worth investing in the great night's sleep it offers, there's no denying the price is prohibitive, and this duvet is dry clean only.

Although it will mean spending a little more, and may depend on your bed frame height and style, we'd generally advise sizing up with your duvet, especially if you sleep with a partner. We’ve rounded up some of the best winter duvet options below with prices quoted for a standard double throughout to allow for easy comparison. Which duvet is best for winter?

Buy it if: you want the luxury of Hungarian goose-down combined with plenty of weight options. As well as individual 2.5, 4.5 and 9 tog duvets, Scooms also offers a host of all-season combination duvets, with a 7 tog (the 2.5 tog duvet plus a 4.5 tog), 11 tog (the 2.5 plus 9 tog combo), and 13.5 tog (4.5 plus 9 tog). Each all-seasons option comes with press studs to fasten the two duvets together. Personally, we'd opt for the 13.5 tog for year-round versatility. It’s a highly personal choice but most people will be warm enough under a duvet of 10.5 togs or more during the British winter. Warmth: Duvets have a "tog" rating, which represents their thermal insulation capabilities. A lower tog rating (e.g. 4.5) is suitable for warmer months, while a higher rating (e.g. 13.5) is ideal for cold winter nights. FEELS LIKE DOWN - Our duvets are specially constructed using a super soft filling which is wrapped in a soft touch cover, so you feel like your resting on a comfy cloud.
