FAQs
What does '4.5 Tog' mean?
Tog is a measure of thermal insulation. A 4.5 tog rating indicates a lightweight duvet suitable for warmer weather, summer, or for individuals who tend to overheat at night.
Can I use this duvet all year round?
The 4.5 tog is primarily for warmer months. In cooler seasons, it can be used in conjunction with other bedding or a higher tog duvet for added warmth.
How often should I wash my duvet?
It is generally recommended to wash your duvet every 6-12 months, or sooner if it becomes soiled. Regular airing can help keep it fresh between washes.
Is this duvet suitable for allergy sufferers?
The microfibre filling is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, making it a good option for many allergy sufferers. However, for severe allergies, always consult product specifications or a healthcare professional.
What is the benefit of microfibre fabric?
Microfibre fabric is known for its softness, durability, and lightweight properties. It provides a smooth, luxurious feel and is easy to care for.
Will the filling clump after washing?
Following the care instructions carefully, especially regarding washing temperature and drying methods, helps to prevent the filling from clumping. Ensure it is completely dry and give it a good shake.
Troubleshooting
Duvet feels flat after unpacking
Allow the duvet several hours to air out and regain its loft. Gently shake it to help redistribute the filling.
Duvet is not warm enough
This 4.5 tog duvet is designed for warmer conditions. For colder temperatures, consider layering with another duvet or using a warmer duvet.
Fabric feels clingy
Microfibre can sometimes cause static. Ensure the duvet is fully dry after washing and consider using an anti-static spray or a dryer sheet during tumble drying on a low setting.

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions precisely. Use a mild detergent and avoid high heat settings.
