Advice on Choosing Best Summer Duvet
You probably know how it feels to lie awake on a hot summer night. You've been lying in bed ten minutes and you're boiling hot. So you kick off your duvet and, seconds later, you're feeling exposed and vulnerable. So, back on goes the duvet with one leg hanging out and finally you drift off to sleep, only to wake freezing cold. Whilst there are countless factors that impede a good night's rest, one of them is not attaining the optimum bed temperature for sleep. This is 28C-29C (82F-84F), a bit below normal body temperature, and is known as 'thermo-neutral', the temperature at which your body is neither heated nor cooled by its surroundings.
To help attain the optimum bed temperature, sleeping under a duvet with the most appropriate summer duvet tog rating is most definitely one beneficial factor. The best tog duvet for summer is generally a 4.5 tog duvet with a conventional down and/or feather filling, a synthetic filling, a 200g silk summer duvet or a 3 tog cool cotton duvet for hot nights.
We recommend sleeping under one of these duvets in summer:

Advice on choosing a Summer duvet for you
Here are some suggestions of lightweight summer duvets which will provide night after night of comfort as the weather gets warmer:
3 Tog Cotton duvets
The 3 tog cotton duvet are 100% cool cotton summer duvets, ideal for hot nights. Cotton is perfect for those who can’t tolerate an animal-based product, but who don’t want synthetic. These thin summer duvets offer high moisture absorbency, are hypoallergenic, machine-washable and the light fill weight makes them feel rather like a quilted blanket. The cotton fill will pack down slightly over time (unlike a filling such as wool or down, which remains fluffy throughout its lifetime) but you can fluff them up by tumbling drying them with a clean tennis ball (or do it the old-fashioned way by beating it with a mattress beater).
3 Tog and 4.5 tog Spundown Duvet - Luxury Microfibre Summer Duvets
Should you prefer a particularly soft and light summer duvet that is also machine washable (without paying a premium - as required when washing a natural down duvet), then either a 3 tog or 4.5 tog Spundown duvet, depending upon the amount of warmth required, will provide the perfect choice of light summer duvet for you. These supremely popular microfibre duvets are also hypoallergenic and completely unique in their ability to be washed in a domestic washing machine. And that includes the super kingsize Spundown duvets!
200g (equivalent to 4 tog) 100% Mulberry Silk Summer Duvet
The ultimate luxury, this duvet is filled with blissfully light mulberry silk floss so it drapes gently over the contours of your body for a truly comfortable night's sleep. Silk duvets are also exceptionally 'breathable', drawing moisture away from the body to help regulate body temperature and keep you cool on warm summer nights. There are two weights of Mulberry silk duvet to choose from, either a 200g or a 400g weight. The 200g lightweight duvet (equivalent to a 4 tog duvet) is the perfect choice for use as a lightweight summer duvet or for those who prefer to stay cool. Furthermore, for versatility the 200g duvet may be buttoned to the medium weight 400g silk duvet for those cool winter nights. Naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites this Mulberry silk duvet is ideal for allergy sufferers.
4.5 tog Goose Down Summer Duvet
Wonderfully luxurious, the goose down duvet is another particularly lightweight summer duvet. The 4.5 tog warmth rating and the naturally 'breathable' lofty luxurious white goose down filling makes this duvet the perfect choice of summer duvet. This naturally breathable duvet has a pure cotton casing, with a box construction to keep the filling evenly distributed.
Goose down pillows will further enhance your sleep experience on warm summer nights as their naturally 'breathable' filling is perfect for keeping your head and neck feeling cool and refreshed.
4.5 tog Hungarian Goose Down Duvet - Extra Light Summer Duvet
Even more luxurious than the goose down duvet is the Hungarian goose down duvet. These duvets are the lightest summer duvets available, as the premium quality 90% Hungarian goose down filling is exceptionally soft and light to sleep under. So, if you don't have an intolerance to natural fillings then, in our view, Hungarian goose down really is the best summer duvet filling. Unfortunately, this is reflected in the price as these certainly aren't cheap summer duvets!
7 tog Duvets
If you're someone who feels the cold, spends most of the year sleeping under a 13.5 tog and would like a summer duvet that offers just that little bit more warmth than the standard 4.5 togs on the market, then a Cotton Embrace 7 tog duvet will prove to be the perfect summer duvet for cooler homes.
