Do you have a lovely summer duvet?

[BigBirdsbird]

I need a summer duvet, I want it to be all soft and floaty like a cloud but I'd prefer it not to be feathers.
It's a duvet minefield out there, any recommendations?

I got a lovely summer one from Julian Charles. Not feathers.

I have one as part of a set that pop together for winter - JohnLewis, but I needed a second last year and bought one from M&S. it was the cheapest they had. It’s lovely, and is light enough to go in the washing machine.

Thank you both, will check these out

I also got a lovely one from M&S which is much better quality than my winter one. Looking forward to getting it out!

We have a John Lewis one that has a 4.5 tog and 9 tog that pop together. They are so light. Synthetic not feather. They're called soft touch or something like that

We sleep in a summer duvet nearly year round. Dh has a hissy fit when I put the winter one on 🙄

Like faithinnature we have the JL dual duvet but to be honest our house is so warm we only ever use the 4.5 tog. The 9 hasn't been out for several years and I can't imagine putting them together. They are like clouds.

It's the other way round with us. DH sleeps under a duvet when it's 30 in the bedroom.

Silk one from Soak and Sleep with silk cover. Very light.

Same here Flying archer. Silk one all year round for me. (,Tog rating 1 or 2.5, I'll look later)
I also sleep next to an open window, all year round.

Thanks so much for all your responses.

One last question, am I mad to think a 7 tog duvet is a summer weight?
The idea of a 4 tog makes me a bit nervous

I have a 4.5 and use it year round. I do wear PJ's.
Dh however freezes and has a single to add on top of him, a 10 and uses it year round.

I have a lovely silk one from John Lewis. 3 tog, I put a blanket on top of it if the weather is unseasonably cold.

We have a summer weight wool duvet (counter intuitive I know) which we use year round and yes, we have the window open too. We do add a wool blanket on the coldest nights. I love the wool duvet and would never go back, other than to check out silk.

4.5 tog here in NE Scotland. I have had it on now for a month, replacing the 9.5 for winter . But then I am menopausal 😂

I'm ashamed to say I've been on an all year round 10.5 tog for the last few years.
I think I really need to up my duvet game.

Summer weight wool one here. Much less sweaty than a normal duvet.

We bought the most expensive duvet we could afford. The things we looked for were

It came in 2 parts, 4 and 9 tog.
The cover was good quality
It washed easily
It was very lightweight

When it arrived we thought we'd made a mistake. The 2 together weighed less than our old 4 tog. But it is lovely and warm in winter and very cool in summer. Though we do alsohave a cotton sheet for summer and a blanket for my feet in winter.

We are currently under the sheet with the 4 tog at the bottom of the bed for that 4am temperature drop!

It has been well worth the rather eye watering price... I'm peri menopausal...

We have a John Lewis summer duvet, it is absolutely lovely, so soft & light like sleeping under a marshmallow. If that makes any sense! Can’t remember the price exactly, I am sure it wasn’t very expensive.

Silk sounds interesting . Is it very light? I am considering linen sheets too in an effort to be cool at night but I am worried they may be rough (like linen clothes) or too creased (like linen clothes).

I just bought a 1 tog Fogarty king-size duvet from Dunelm (£27). Have only just put it on the bed but it feels very nice and light and hopefully I won't sweat any more (previous duvet 4.5 tog and I sweat like a pig all year round)

John Lewis is currently doing a hollow fibre double one for ten pounds!

I like the look of the Fogarty Touch Of Silk duvet but out of stock right now

Sluj, linen sheets are just lovely, so comfortable

But are linen sheets soft and creased all the time? Would you say they are cooler Bigbirdsbird?
