"The warmth of a wool duvet is not measured in togs, because it is so adaptable. The best guide to use is weight. A 500gsm wool duvet is considered suitable for use in cold weather, but may not have such good drape as a slightly lighter duvet. A 400 -430gsm wool duvet is suitable for most weather, and can be adapted to the coldest weather with the addition of a light throw. A light-weight duvet (200-250gsm) is suitable for warm nights"
