Product Information

Don't buy it if: you truly want to splash out on the best duvet for your boudoir. This option is very good for its price, but the higher feather mix does mean it feels more 'clumpy' than the 90% down alternatives on our list. That said, this is still a great buy, and the addition of feathers does make the duvet a little more breathable than a duvet with a higher down percentage, albeit not quite as warm. After much testing, we think 13.5 tog is best tog duvet for winter, with most of our testers finding 15 tog can retain heat a little too much during the night and lead to overheating. Buy it if: you're looking for the very best duvet for a great night's sleep. This wool-filled duvet is an investment, but we've tried and tested some of the best winter duvets on the market, and in our opinion, this is the cream of the crop. It's the warmest we've come across, keeping our testers warm and toasty throughout the night without any of the overheating or night sweats that occurred with other high tog options. That's thanks to the naturally thermoregulating properties of wool that allow moisture to escape whilst still providing insulation. Handmade in Yorkshire using 100% traceable British Cheviot wool and certified organic cotton this is also a great eco-friendly option, with wool completely biodegradable.

Typically crafted with materials that offer superior insulation, winter duvets are designed to keep us toasty warm. And with the cost-of-living crisis continuing to loom large this autumn/winter, anything that stops us reaching for the dreaded thermostat – or indeed the leccy-guzzling electric blanket – is a godsend. Customers are saying: “This quilt feels so soft and warm. I feel like I’m sleeping at a luxury hotel.”Pros: Sustainably made, versatile – this is the only duvet you’ll need to buy, offers year-round comfort, free, carbon-neutral 3 day delivery Pros: Eco-friendly, top quality, free standard delivery, naturally lightweight, supremely soft and snuggly Customers are saying: “Not cheap but worth the money, our double duvet is lightweight but cosy and I love the adjustability and can feel the quality of the material”.

This lofty and luxurious, feels-like-down duvet comes from Dusk, the brand behind some of the best quality bed sheets, duvet covers, bath towels and pillows out there. If you're looking for a non-feather option but with a really luxurious feel, this is it. It's made of the brand's 4.5 tog and 9.5 tog duvets, both delicately fastened together with buttons to give you the flexibility to switch your duvet up depending on the seasons. Encased in breathable 100% cotton percale, it's also a great choice for those with allergies. Buy it if: you're looking for luxury as well as warmth. No duvet fill feels quite as sumptuous as down, and this Soak & Sleep Hungarian goose-down option is one of the best quality we've come across. It's super warm yet lightweight, drapes beautifully on the bed, and feels super luxurious – you'll instantly feel like your bedding has levelled up. The all-seasons option also offers brilliant versatility; use the 4.5 and 9.0 duvets separately in warmer seasons and combine to create 13.5 togs of winter warmth.

Customers are saying: “So snuggly and warm but lightweight too, comparable to the down duvet I’ve had for years. A great product I wish I’d bought it sooner.”

Then there are the more traditional, natural fillingsto consider. These range from all types of feathers and down to wool filling. Customers are saying: “We bought this natural duvet in super king size, it is light, fluffy and cosy. I cannot fault this item one bit.” 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. OEKO-TEX Made In Green is a traceable product label for textiles that verifies that a product has been tested for harmful substances. It also guarantees that the product has been manufactured using sustainable processes under socially responsible working conditions.Don't buy it if: you're on a tight budget as this luxury duvet has a luxury price tag. 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.

As its name suggests, this is another synthetic winter duvet that successfully mimics real down, and you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s part of a luxurious hotel collection. It boasts a polyester filling that’s made with at least 30 per cent recycled materials, while the casing is also 100 per cent polyester and proves soft and smooth to the touch. As with a real fluffy down product, this is a lovely lightweight and breathable duvet, yet it feels supremely warm at the same time. It boasts a 13.5 tog rating, making it a good choice for hot sleepers, even when the temperature unexpectedly nosedives in the winter. You can expect a top-quality finish from this entirely vegan product, too with fine stitching both on the edges and within the quilt itself, keeping all those bouncy, man-made fibres evenly distributed. We’ll be honest, this high-tech, innovative duvet system isn’t cheap. But it really does offer three luxurious duvets in one, meaning it’s the only one you’ll need, year-round. Here’s how: it comprises one 7 tog spring/autumn duvet and one 3.5 tog summer duvet. Cleverly, the two sections can be joined together with nifty corner snaps, ensuring they stay firmly in place within the duvet cover, and giving you an overall tog rating of 10.5 and keeping you perfectly warm in the winter months. Both sections boast a silky, patterned casing and the quality is palpable. Typical of the brand, the 3-in-1 duvet is made with strategic engineering: think Simba renew clusters and a Better Cotton cover with the brand’s Stratos cooling technology. This anti allergy duvet brags heat controlling properties too, and even when it’s doubled up, it proves surprisingly lightweight and breathable – ideal for hot sleepers that still need to feel cosy in winter.

That said, personally, we think 13.5 tog remains one of the best winter duvet weights, with some finding 15 tog can retain heat a little too much during the night and lead to overheating.
