The tog is a measure of thermal resistance of a unit area, also known as thermal insulance. It is commonly used in the textile industry. In a purely scientific sense, a Tog is a measurement of thermal insulation, with a low number indicating quite a low level of insulation and a high number meaning something that will keep you as warm as toast on even the coldest nights of Winter.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-837\" src=\"http:\/\/www.springtextile.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DUVET-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"498\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.springtextile.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DUVET-1.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.springtextile.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DUVET-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.springtextile.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DUVET-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.springtextile.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DUVET-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.springtextile.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DUVET-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, a higher Tog value isn&#8217;t always better, as most people sleep more soundly when their body is kept at a cool to normal temperature. So most sleep experts agree that you should set the thermostat to around 65 F or 18 C and manage your body temperature with a duvet that&#8217;s designed for the season of the year.<\/p>\n<p>British duvets are sold in steps of 1.5 tog from 4.5 tog (summer) to 16.5 tog (extra-warm). Notice that these tog values assume that there is no duvet cover added that can trap air, and that the sleeper is unclothed. Sleepwear and such other layers can make a significant difference for the lower tog values.<\/p>\n<p>Adult comfort ratings against temperature like following:<br \/>\nLightweight summer duvet: 3.0 &#8211; 4.5 tog<br \/>\nSpring\/Autumn weight duvet: 7.5 &#8211; 10.5 tog<br \/>\nWinter weight duvet: 12.0 &#8211; 13.5 tog<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1143\" src=\"http:\/\/www.springtextile.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Togs_and_Temperature.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"483\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.springtextile.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Togs_and_Temperature.jpg 440w, https:\/\/www.springtextile.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Togs_and_Temperature-283x300.jpg 283w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To find out more about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.springtextile.com\/pillows-and-duvets\/\">home textile manufacturer<\/a> information and our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.springtextile.com\/products\/\">bedding products<\/a> , please visit our official blog: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.springtextile.com\/blogs\">www.springtextile.com\/blogs<\/a>\/ or Spring<br \/>\nHometextile website:http:\/\/<a href=\"http:\/\/www.springtextile.com\">www.springtextile.com<\/a>\/.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a importer or wholesaler, please contact to get a quick feedback at: sales6@bed-ecor.com.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve all seen Tog Values on duvets, but might not necessarily know what they really mean.
