FAQs
What does '18 Tog' mean?
Tog is a measure of thermal insulation. An 18 tog rating indicates a very high level of warmth, making this duvet ideal for the coldest winter nights.
What is the 'double decker' design?
The double decker design means the duvet is constructed with two distinct layers sewn together. This creates an insulating air pocket between the layers, trapping warmth more effectively and providing superior heat retention.
Is this duvet suitable for all seasons?
No, an 18 tog duvet is specifically designed for extreme cold and is generally too warm for use during spring, summer, or milder autumn nights. It is best reserved for the coldest winter months.
How do I wash this duvet?
This duvet is machine washable. Always check the specific care label for temperature and cycle recommendations. Typically, use a gentle cycle with mild detergent and tumble dry on a low heat until completely dry, fluffing periodically.
Is this duvet suitable for people with allergies?
Yes, the duvet is made with hypoallergenic materials, meaning it does not contain substances commonly known to trigger allergies, making it suitable for sensitive sleepers.
What size bed is this duvet for?
This Silentnight Warm & Cosy Double Decker 18 Tog Duvet is specifically sized for a standard double bed.
Does it come with a warranty?
Yes, this duvet comes with a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee, providing assurance of its quality and durability.
Troubleshooting
Duvet feels lumpy after washing
This can happen if the filling settles during washing and drying. Tumble dry the duvet again on a low heat setting, removing it periodically to vigorously fluff and redistribute the filling by hand. Adding dryer balls (clean tennis balls work too) can help agitate the filling.
Duvet doesn't feel as warm as expected
While 18 tog is extremely warm, ensure your room isn't excessively cold, or that there are no drafts. Also, confirm the duvet is fully fluffed after unpacking or washing to maximize the air pockets that provide insulation. Ensure you are using it with a suitable duvet cover.
Duvet doesn't fit my bed properly
This duvet is a standard double size. Verify your bed is a double size and not a king or super king, and that your duvet cover matches the double dimensions. An oversized cover can make the duvet shift, while an undersized one will compress it.
Strong smell after unpacking
A slight factory smell is normal for new textiles. Air the duvet out in a well-ventilated room for 24-48 hours. If the smell persists, follow the machine washing instructions on the care label.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Silentnight Warm & Cosy Double Decker 18 Tog Duvet is straightforward:
- Unpack: Carefully remove the duvet from its packaging.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the duvet's warmth, softness, and longevity:
- Machine Washable: The duvet is machine washable. Always check the care label on the product for specific temperature settings, typically a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric and filling.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. It's crucial to ensure the duvet is completely dry to prevent mildew and preserve the filling's loft. You may need to tumble dry for several cycles, removing and fluffing the duvet between cycles to redistribute the filling evenly.
- Storage: During warmer months, when not in use, store the duvet in a breathable bag in a cool, dry place to protect it from dust and moisture. Ensure it is completely dry before storage.
