What tog quilt are you using at the moment?

Just wanting a nosey in regards to what tog quilt is the norm for winter. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m partial to a bit of extra warmth .... I just clipped the second part of my down & feather quilt together today resulting in 13 tog. If it gets any colder I may have to get my electric under blanket out too. People think that I’m nuts for requiring this level of warmth ( house is a new house, so it’s not a cold house ) No central heating on overnight. Just wanted to compare to others to see if I am a moany cold arse.

Mine’s 13.5 tog but I’m also wearing cosy pj’s and thick socks and pretty much sleeping on top of dp Blush
Think I might need to get the extra blankets out soon too.

I'm too hot in the 10.5tog one. Kids still Have their 4.5 tog ones and ds has also been using the fan. We're in bloody Scotland too!

Twoevils · 29/10/2017 22:04

9 tog, and I'm still roasting by morning. DH has 2 blankets on top though!

8yo DS still has his summer 4 tog on, and even then still frequently strips down to pants. He runs hot I think!

StatueInTheSky · 29/10/2017 22:04

I've only got the summer one on atm, but have been noticing that I am sleeping poorly so it is probably not warm enough
I do have a couple of extra layers....a sheet, and a lightweight quilted cover AND a heavyish throw at th efoot of the bed, also it is a super king so plenty to snuggle in but I do like LOTS of covers and weight so I'll probably swap it when I strip the bed tomorrow.

Therealslimshady1 · 29/10/2017 22:05

4.5

BarbaraOcumbungles · 29/10/2017 22:06

15 tog all year round. I like the weight of it.

TeenagersandFurbabies · 29/10/2017 22:06

Mine's a 10.5 tog, I sleep in a strappy nightie and also have a window open. I'm in a new house so very well insulated.

TheFaerieQueene · 29/10/2017 22:07

4.5 tog. We don’t ever have anything higher on the bed and I still kick off the duvet most nights and just have the sheet over me.
I’m hot stuff Wink

Appuskidu · 29/10/2017 22:09

13.5 tog here and I'm still freezing!

MirandaWest · 29/10/2017 22:09

Ours is 4.5 tog. Have the same one all year round. DH and I don't sleep so well with higher tog duvets

poisonedbypen · 29/10/2017 22:09

4.5. Will probably change to the 10.5 in November some time. Have never had to clip the two together even in the coldest weather.

Etymology23 · 29/10/2017 22:09

9 tog with a blanket and sometimes electric blanket just to warm it up before I get in. I then get too hot overnight and kick the cover off! Anything less and I'm too cold to get to sleep!

Tiddlywinks63 · 29/10/2017 22:11

I changed from 9.5 tog to 13 tog yesterday and I'm baking!

LovingLola · 29/10/2017 22:11

4.5 tog. Have the window wide open too. DH complains it's like an ice box.

NannyR · 29/10/2017 22:11

I use my summer duvet (4.5 tog equivalent) all year round. I just layer up with one or two blankets on top on colder nights.
I would be really uncomfortable using a 13.5 tog.

WhoKn0wsWhereTheSlimeGoes · 29/10/2017 22:13
  1. We will switch to 9 if there's a properly cold snap. We have had them as a popper-together pair for about 15 years but never, ever used both together. No overnight heating but our room stays fairly warm from it being on in the evening.
Ollivander84 · 29/10/2017 22:15

13.5, 2 blankets. Sleeping in pjs, socks and a thermal top. I think my internal thermostat is broken Confused

Redglitter · 29/10/2017 22:18

I've got a 1 tog duvet on. If it gets really really cold in the winter I might replace it with a 4. Though I haven't in recent years

flyingpigsinclover · 29/10/2017 22:25

10 tog very light down one though I usually push it off.

DubiousCredentials · 29/10/2017 22:26

4.5 all year round.

Sarahh2014 · 29/10/2017 22:28

15 tog Grin

lorelairoryemily · 29/10/2017 22:29

13.5 all year round and in the winter I add a really heavy bedspread

HoppityHopHop · 29/10/2017 22:41

10 tog and still have the fan on!

SleepingBooty · 29/10/2017 22:44

4.5 all year round unless it's really cold we might go up to 9.

Fairylea · 29/10/2017 22:46

13.5 tog.. I’m always cold!
