Tog Rating Chart: The Right Duvet for Every Season

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

What a tog rating actually tells you

The first frost of the year is usually when the question arrives. The heating clicks off overnight, the bedroom drops a few degrees, and a duvet that felt perfectly comfortable in October suddenly leaves a cold gap along one shoulder. The instinct is to reach for "something warmer" — but warmth in a duvet is not a vague quality. It is measured, standardised, and printed on the packaging as a single number: the tog rating.

What Does Togs Mean? A Commonwealth Slang Guide

One word, two completely different beaches

On a Sydney morning, "grab your togs" means dig the swimsuit out of the drawer before heading to Bondi. On a Bradford evening, "what tog is it?" means checking the warmth rating printed on a duvet before deciding whether the bed will be warm enough for winter. Same four letters, two meanings that could hardly be further apart — one heads to the water, the other to bed. The split is not a coincidence so much as a quirk of how English travelled across the Commonwealth and picked up local jobs along the way.

Picking a 13.5 tog duvet for a genuinely cold bedroom

The decision usually comes down to one thing: a bedroom that gets cold overnight once the heating goes off. A 13.5 tog duvet is the standard UK winter weight, and for most people in an unheated or poorly insulated room it is the right call. But "13.5 tog" only fixes the warmth — it says nothing about the filling, the weight, or how the duvet will feel after six months of use. Two duvets at the same rating can be worlds apart in comfort, and that difference is what this guide is about.
