Duvet Weight?
28 Answers
Are you still on your 4.5tog duvet, or for the hardcore 1tog duvet?
I have visitors due and am contemplating 4.5 or a 9, I'm still on summer weight and consider my home to be warm......or I've acclimatised to it!
What are the rest of you on, I hate being hot at night so it is difficult for me to judge!

I'm using a duvet that's so old that they didn't even have Tog ratings when I bought it! It's 38 years old and I've never put a cover on it because it's so lightweight (possibly around 2 Tog?) that launderettes regard it just as if it's a very thin blanket (meaning that it can go in with a normal wash, rather than having to pay for specialist duvet cleaning). I've not put any heating on yet and, despite only using that ultra-thin duvet, I was still very warm in bed last night.
I've only just started sleeping under a duvet again, a summer tog one, I tend to sleep under a light bedspread/throw with another throw on hand if I get a bit chilly, I get too warm generally though and can't wear pyjamas in bed as I get too hot. I like to be at least partly covered in bed though.
I'd say it depends on the temperature when they come - are they imminent as it's gone quite warm again.
I'd have the summer tog one but make blankets available so that they can get warmer if they need to. You could always get an idea by offering something like a hot water bottle before bed (usually outs the colder people :)).
I'd beware of the room being too warm too - nothing worse than being too warm. I lived with some Italian guys for a while and I couldn't turn the radiator off in my room - it was ridiculous before we sorted something as they'd have the heating up despite it being a really hot summer.
