Which tog duvet for a 5 year old in winter?

[lolalotta]

I need to buy a new duvet for my five year old lo and I am not sure which tog I should get for her for winter. Her room tends to be between 16/18 degrees celsius at night. What togs do you have for your dc?
Thanks so much for any help!

I have no idea what tog DS (6) and DD (4) have for their duvets - just picked up single duvets in tesco. Probably 10.5 but may well not be.

both my lo's have 10.5tog duvets for winter.

I've just bought duvets for my DSs (5 and 2) and read this

"When choosing a full-sized duvet for a child, unless their bedroom is very cold, it's best to stick with a lighter weight duvet between 4.5 and 9 tog. As children are smaller it means that their duvet traps more air and increases the level of warmth over and above that experienced by most adults. A heavier 13.5 tog duvet may well prove uncomfortable, and is not recommended."

on the John Lewis website.

I bought 7.5tog duvets and if they are cold add in a blanket underneath.

Guess it depends on your house. We bought light weight duvets last summer which were great - especially as they fit in the washing machine if there are any accidents!!
But when it started to get colder we had to buy thicker ones - 10 togs i think and then added a fleece blanket under the sheet as they were waking because they were cold.
Dh and I sleep better with a bit of fresh air in the bedroom and prefer to have the window open and a thicker quilt.
Wouldn't worry too much about a 5 year old overheating etc in the same way as a baby would, my kids just throw off the duvet if they get too hot!
