Heavy Duvets

7 replies

LBOCS2 · 08/05/2019 12:10

Over this winter I've realised that despite the fact that my feather and down duvets are insulating and stop you from sweating and all the nice things they do, I actually sleep better with a slightly heavier duvet - so on the nights it has been cold I've doubled up on duvets and slept like a log.

The only problem is that I run hot.

So... is there a duvet anyone can recommend that is a) relatively heavy and b) not too hot? I was looking at wool ones but don't know if they're going to be too warm.

I have a wool one from baavet - I think it's a medium weight one and I use it most of the year, if my room is warmer than 21/22 degrees it's too hot but the rest of the time it's fine. I use an extra blanket when it's really cold. It does feel heavier than a normal duvet.
There is a bargains section on the website where you can get really good reductions on duvets that have tiny faults on them - I got one of those and its fine.

You could look into a weighted or compression blanket? They're thinner but have that sense of "weight".

@NannyR, that's what I'm concerned about - my bedroom is about 15, rather than 21/22! So I don't know if I'll be too warm and they're still relatively pricey for an expensive mistake...

We've got a Dormer full forever quilt, they do them in different togs. It's a lovely weight and has really kept its shape well. It looks very full and fluffy on the bed too. We've got the 13.5 tog as I never have the radiator on in our room, hate a hot bedroom so poor DH needs a thick duvet to shiver under until he gets warm!! It is very warm though and In hindsight I wish I'd got the 10.5 tog one.

I’d also recommend dorma from dunelm.

I've just spent a small fortune on a wool duvet and mattress topper as the night sweats have kicked in and I am either v hot or freezing cold or most commonly both at the same time ( how is that even possible ).
I am v disappointed to be honest ! I was seduced by the fact that they supposedly keep you at an even temperature but have noticed no difference at all. So I would save your money tbh.

My bedroom is usually on the colder side - no heating, but I find the medium weight duvet just right. It's too warm on summer nights (when the temp is over 21/22 ish) is what I was trying to say!!
