However, you'll need to be careful when looking after a wool duvet – washing too often and at too high a temperature will reduce its lifespan. Silk duvets: pros and cons Some duvets come in 'four-seasons' or 'all-seasons' sets. With these you get one light duvet (usually about 3.5 tog) and one heavier one (usually about 10.5 tog). The light one will be enough in hot summer months, and the heavy one suits spring and autumn weather. When you need extra warmth in winter, you can combine both. Standard UK duvet sizes Microfibre– the 'luxury' version of hollowfibre, a microfibre fill is made of much finer strands of polyester resulting in a very lightweight duvet with a, yes, more luxurious feel. Some compare microfibre to the feel of down, but it has the upside of not running the risk of animal cruelty. However, again, being made of synthetics, the environmental impact of production and disposal is a concern. Like hollowfibre, microfibre can also cause overheating. Microfibre is a great alternative to down and feathers, all the while being quite affordable. The end result is a cosy and high-quality duvet that’s long-lasting.Buy it if: you want an affordable winter duvet that still feels both warm and luxurious.

Compared with virgin polyester, recycled polyester helps conserve crude oil reserves during fibre production. These all correspond to different mattress sizes. If you tend to feel cold in bed, go for the next size up from your mattress size (for example, if you have a double bed, use a king-size duvet), so that the duvet flows over the edges to keep warm air in and any draughts out. Microfibre duvets are a relatively recent addition to the market, but they aren't to be confused with hollowfibre. Microfibres are finer but don't have the hollow space that hollowfibre has. Instead, microfibre is intended to be a synthetic equivalent to down; its extra-fine fibres give the same feel.

Duvet types explainedAdditionally, the Slumberdown Climate Control Duvet is non-allergenic and it’s made entirely of materials that are suitable for people with allergies and those with sensitive skin. It's one of the lightest and most supple fillings, meaning even a 14-tog microfibre duvet will feel light.

That said, personally, we think 13.5 tog remains one of the best winter duvet weights, with some finding 15 tog can retain heat a little too much during the night and lead to overheating. Our hollowfibre and microfibre duvets fall into the synthetic category often used by people who suffer from allergies and asthma. The silky soft duvet is the closest synthetic alternative to a natural down duvet giving you extra warmth and ensuring a featherweight feel. Its an affordable option so you don't have to break the bank. If the brand you buy is important to you, our best advice is to spend some time writing up your own list of ideal brands. That way when you come to the point where you’re comparing product options you can filter to only show the products from brands in your list.

One downside to all natural duvet fillings, including feather and down, is that you shouldn’t wash them at home as they can lose their filling more easily and are difficult to get completely dry afterwards. If they are cared for properly and professionally laundered, feather and down duvets can last more than twice as long as synthetic alternatives.

The price of silk duvets can be a bit steep, so be wary of that. Although you can get duvets in almost any tog rating, the most common togs are 4.5 tog which makes a great summer duvet weight, 10.5 tog which tends to be the best bet for autumn and spring, and 13.5 tog which offers good winter warmth.Buy it if: you're looking for luxury as well as warmth.
