Thick duvet is getting a bit ropey, was purchased in 2010 and could do with being retired soon I think

Tin duvet is going strong, was purchased last year and there is plenty of life in it yet.

I need 4 new pillows though as 4/6 of my current ones are pretty much dead.

- I believe the duvet we currently have is the first duvet every purchase by my boyfriend
  
  So I assume its YEARS old. Its very rank.
  
  You have one thin and one thick? You should have bought one of those duvets where its 2 duvets clipped together and together they are a thick winter one and apart they are a thicker one and a thin one for summer

  - I use the thin one all year round
    
    The thick one is there for the benefit of my girlfriend and for the rare nights when it is exceptionally cold.

- I think I'm going to go for a 10.5 tog
  
  Seems moderate. 13.5 is too much tog. 4.5 is too little tog.

  - I have a 9 and a 4.5
    
    that can be fastened together for a 13.5.
    
    I invariably find the full 13.5 too hot even in the depths of winter.

    You have to chose your tog when buying a duvet. The more togs, the thicker it is.
    
    (why tog?)

    - It stands for Thickness Of Guilt
      
      There was no Qs on the old fashioned printing press so they used Gs.

I bought one when I started uni

so a year and half or so ago. It was the cheapest one in Sainsburys - it's really thin and sort of crinkly and it isn't long enough. I look forward to my next duvet.

brainfeedr | 12 Mar '13, 12:16 | X | ^ This | Reply
One of those two duvets for all seasons jobbers.

Have stayed on the thin one all winter cos of the addition of mswza's recently completed massive crocheted granny square blanket.

- `massive crocheted granny square blanket`
  
  not to be confused with the 14" Bush.

It needs changing.

I had a nice one until I moved in with a boy. And then he moaned that it was too lumpy. Stupid boys.

I've got two 10.5 duvets

One under my bedsheet and one as an actual duvet. My bed is dead good.

got one of them duck feather and down jobbies

4.5 tog + 9 tog = 13.5 tog warmth in winter. prolly bought it 5 or so years ago, was well expensive actually but totally necessary in our freezing cold house.

Fuck it, I've ordered a 10.5 tog Goose and Duck down duvet

Fix

I just sleep under a sheet in the summer or sometimes not even that. Last night was cold and i slept in the farden in the summer house (which is mid construction and essentially a hut) so i took a very warm down duvet. A million tog. Im not vg at replacing duvets, i think i hoarde a bit. Im obbsessive about changing pillows thou because they are gross.

inadequate when it's this cold, the heating needs fixing and I'm the only one in the bed

Should treat myself to a new, thicker one. Or a hooker.

It's his from years ago

Which means he's probably had other girls under it, which I don't like.
It's artificial fibre from m&s and I'm unsure of the tog but i find it a little too warm sometimes.

Reading all of that back makes me really want to buy a new duvet.

I don't know what tog it is

but it's pretty light, like PickledOeuf up thread I usually sleep in just a sheet unless it's really cold.
I get pretty hot in bed.
