Have a 13.5 tog - do I buy a 10.5 or a 4.5? For summer.

I have many year duvet buying experience this I giving me sleepless nights! Would like to get a down/feather one. We already have a 4.5 feather and that is a dream all year round to be honest but I don't know!

Will 10.5 be cool enough most of the year - I don't want four duvets.

FWIW there is me and DH. Main king bed, double spare bed ( that I use regularly) that I am looking for a king size for as the mattress is so thick that it looks rubbish with a double on its currently have the 13.5 winter king on it ( i am roasting alive) We also have a single and another double. We have three single duvets, three double a missing double and and two king. The duvets are making seriously anxious.

4.5 definitely. Personally I like the 4.5 all year round (hot sweats!) but in winter DH and I have one of those duvets which is half 4.5 (my side) and half 9 (his side). When we go on holiday in UK, I always take our 4.5 duvets with us because so many hotels or cottages seem to have 10.5 and we all find them unbearable in summer.

I like a 4.5 tog with a blanket if it gets colder.

DH bought an expensive thick one so I have to sweat through the winter now Hmm

We have a 4.5 for winter. And a 1 tog for summer.
Blanket on my side in depths of winter or a chillier summer night.

My sil has 10 togs and even in her freezing house they are far too hot!
