A Land of Beds expert warns that selecting the correct duvet tog rating is essential for quality sleep as temperatures drop in autumn.

A bed expert from Land of Beds has warned that ignoring tog ratings can cause sleepless nights as autumn temperatures begin to drop. Charlotte, an expert at the retailer, explained that tog stands for thermal overall grade, a unit of measurement describing the warmth of a textile.

For autumn, Charlotte recommends a 10.5 tog duvet as 'a really nice in between' that 'keeps you warm but it also remains breathable'. She noted that hot sleepers could go down to 7.5 tog instead. She described the 10.5 tog as 'lovely and lightweight but also cosy enough to keep you nice and warm'.

She advises selecting materials that can adapt to changing autumn conditions to avoid waking up too hot or too cold. Cotton is an excellent choice for beddings such as fitted sheets and duvets as it is 'breathable and cosy to the touch'. For couples with different temperature preferences, she suggests adding a throw to balance comfort. Another option is a duvet with two layers, such as a 10 tog and a four tog, which can be used separately or together throughout the year.
