Become A Duvet Connoisseur — Know Your Tog!
Togs aren’t just a feel warm factor, they’re a well defined unit of how well you’re not losing valuable sleepy time heat.
Never Judge A Duvet By Its Cover
When you’re buying accoutrements for your boudoir, especially those that you’re planning on keeping you warm on a cool night (or cold, if you’re frugal with the central heating like myself), it’s best not to judge on appearances only. They’re not books, after all.
Buying the wrong duvet can be extremely disappointing as if you’re losing heat too fast to the bedroom you’ll be chilly and if you’re not losing it fast enough¹ then you’ll be all hot and bothered. Either way it’ll be hard to nod off for forty winks, if you’re not at your personally comfortable temperature.
Duvets come in many shapes and styles, even before you put on your decorative cover of choice, and it’s best (really, bear with me) to take a scientific approach to this exercise. Trust me, I’m a scientist².
You may have come across the tog — a unit designed to convey the effectiveness of your duvet in terms of how warm (or cool, kind of, I mean it’s not an air conditioner or anything but it won’t make you sweat on a hot night is what I mean) it will keep you — but have you ever wondered how it’s defined and what it actually means?
