10 Situations When You'll Need To Know About Highest Tog Rating

Highest Tog Rating Duvets and Baby Sleeping Bags

The highest rating for tog was developed for winter use when you need an extra-warm duvet to keep you warm. The term"tog" refers to Thermal Overall Grade and is a method of explaining the warmth level of duvets and sleeping bags.

The thickness of a fabric doesn't always translate to warmth. It depends on what kind of filling material is used and how well the fabric insulates.

Extra Warm

There are many factors to consider when selecting a duvet, such as size and tog rating but one of the most important ones is how warm you want it to be. A higher tog is likely to be a warmer duvet. A lower tog will be cooler. The tog rating does not necessarily indicate a heavier blanket, but rather to the effectiveness of the quilt in insulating body heat.


Our highest rating for tog at Soak&Sleep is an 18 tog, which is perfect for cold homes and wintery conditions. This duvet is made of two duvets which are joined by the cufflink. You can alter the temperature by turning the duvets on and off throughout the daytime.

For babies and toddlers It's also worth looking at how they regulate their body temperature. Everyone's temperature is different, so your child might find a bed with an extremely high tog rating hot for them. A great way to avoid overheating is to add an extra layer of clothing under the duvet for example, a sleeping suit or t-shirt.

If you are a warm sleeper you can choose a summer weight duvet that has a low weight, like 4.5 tog. This will keep you comfortable, cool and warm during the warm months.

A breathable duvet is also ideal for people who are hot sleepers. Our range of breathable duvets is made from cotton which aids thermal regulation and is 100% breathable which helps reduce fluctuations in temperature throughout the night.

You can still use a quilt that has high tog ratings in the summer. However, you will require a layer underneath to prevent overheating. A quilt with a low rating is suitable for all seasons, particularly when temperatures are mild. We have a range of natural fibre and cotton quilts that are breathable in a variety of tog ratings. So you can choose the best for your family.

Soft & Cosy

This luxurious duvet and pillowcase set is made from soft brushed Cotton. It can be washed in the machine and will give you an enjoyable night's sleep. It's suitable for any season and can be used in conjunction with other coordinating bedding items such as Oxford pillowcase(s) and fitted sheets for a well-coordinated look.

The tog rating or thermal overall grade is a standard method to describe the warmth level of duvets. It's widely used in the UK to show how warm or lightweight a duvet can be, with 1 tog being very light and cool, and 15 being extremely dense and warm.

Choosing  what's the warmest tog duvet  for your duvet depends on many factors, including your environment, personal preferences and the way you sleep. A higher rating is generally warmer, but it's important that you remember tog ratings are not based on the actual thickness of the duvet but rather on its ability to retain heat. Some fillings retain heat better than others, and you should read the product description before buying a duvet.

Always choose the most high-rated tog rating when purchasing a winter duvet, such as the 18 tog WinterPlus. These are designed to be extra warm and will keep you cosy even in the coldest locations and weather. They will likely have baffle box construction, which provides more space for the filling to trap warm air and retain heat. This is thought to be the best kind of construction. But, it's vital to be sure you are buying a winter weight duvet. The cheaper ones might not be as effective and lose their insulation in time.

Lightweight and breathable

In winter, a more substantial duvet will keep you warm and comfortable throughout the night. Check the tog rating to determine which one is the best for you. Tog ratings show how much heat the quilt will trap, therefore the one with a higher rating will be warmer.

A 13.5 tog duvet is ideal for the Winter months and will keep you warm and warm on the cold winter nights. It's important to keep in mind that the tog rating is determined by how the duvet is tested in a lab on a flat surface. It might not always be a good indicator of how warm you feel beneath your duvet when it is hung over your body in bed.

We use only natural fibres at Soak&Sleep. These fibres are breathable, and help regulate your body temperature, ensuring you don't become too hot in the night. This helps you sleep better as it reduces sweating that can cause disturbances. We only use duvets that are filled with top-quality materials, such as feather/down and cotton that are soft and lightweight.

Baby sleeping bags must have the proper TOG rating to ensure that your baby is cozy and warm enough throughout the night. However, overheating in infants can be dangerous since it increases the risk of SIDS. It is important to choose the baby's sleeping bag with an OG that is smaller than a duvet designed for adults.

A TOG rating is a measurement that explains how warm a duvet can be 1 tog being light and cool, whilst 15 tog is the heaviest and warmest. Different fillings offer different degrees of warmth, so it's important to know that even though the tog rating is low, the quilt might still be warm due to the type of filling it's got.

Easy Care

Duvets should be warm and soft, but washing them often can cause them to lose their warmth quickly. Our highest tog ratings are made of easy-care fabrics, which won't shrink when washed. They'll feel and look like new for as much time as it is possible.

TOG rating refers to the thermal insulation properties of a material, and it can be difficult to deduce the degree of warmth a fabric will be by simply touching it. The TOG rating system was created to take into consideration a variety of aspects, including the thickness of the fabric and the type of filling.

Overheating can cause SIDS in babies. Sleep sacks that have a TOG rating keep your baby's temperature at a healthy level by replacing their blanket. They also assist them to stay away from the dangers of bedding that isn't properly secured like drowning.

A 0.5 TOG sleeping bag is perfect for warm temperatures and room with a summery feel. It can be worn with cotton bodysuits. Choose a higher TOG sleep sack for colder rooms, and remember to layer properly - too many layers can lead to overheating.
