The Boutique silk duvet is the top choice for many luxury 4- and 5-star hotels nationwide.
The Fine Bedding Company Boutique Silk duvet has a luxurious feel while still being practical.
Boutique Silk Duvet composition
This duvet is made from responsibly sourced materials and synthetic fibres for the best of both worlds.
The filling includes 90% soft Smartfil microfibre with 10% pure silk for added luxury.
The outer cover is made from 100% responsibly sourced BCI cotton for a fresher feeling of sleep.
Cotton has natural moisture-wicking properties as well as being highly breathable.
The duvet is also available in 4.5, 10.5, or 13.5 tog ratings.
We tested the 10.5 tog Boutique Silk duvet, which is great as an all-seasons option.
The other two togs would be more suited to summer or winter.
Boutique Silk Duvet comfort
The Boutique Silk duvet has a silky feel and is light but cosy.
We tested this duvet during February, but a 10.5 tog duvet is often suitable for year-round comfort.
15% OFF BOUTIQUE SILK DUVET W/ "SLEEP15"
We slept with the duvet for a few nights with the heating off and a few nights with the heating on.
The duvet kept us toasty and warm on cold nights, making this an excellent winter duvet choice.
We felt a little warm on nights with the heating on but didn't overheat or feel uncomfortable.
However, we recommend hot sleepers opt for a lower tog (4.5) duvet in the summer months.

Made with luxurious new white duck down feathers, this premium duvet will keep you cosy year-round.
The Brook + Wilde Cavendish Four Seasons duvet is a luxurious option that will keep you at the perfect temperature every season.
Brook + Wilde Cavendish duvet composition
It comes with a 4.5 and 8.0 tog duvet that can be combined or separated when necessary.
The duvet is filled with luxurious white duck down and feathers and is encased in a breathable 100% cotton cambric cover.
Even with the duvets joined, we didn't overheat at all throughout the night.
That's because goose down is highly breathable and wicks away moisture from the body during the night.
We'd recommend:
- 12.5 tog (both duvets joined) for cold winter nights
- 8.0 tog duvet for the cool spring/autumn season
- 4.5 tog duvet during the summer months
We tested the duvets joined together and separately, and we neither felt too hot nor cold with either option.

Brook + Wilde Cavendish duvet delivery
The Cavendish duvet comes with free standard delivery to Mainland UK.
Our Cavendish duvet was delivered by DPD, where we were given an hour time slot a few days after placing our order.
This winter duvet came in a rectangular-shaped plastic and fabric bag.
We were a little disappointed with this, considering this is a luxury product.
In fact, other more budget-friendly products we have tested have almost identical packaging.
It would also be great to have a reusable bag made of sustainable materials rather than plastic.
The Cavendish duvet also comes with 14-day returns if the product hasn't been used.
We'd highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a versatile duvet made from high-quality materials to keep you warm and cosy during winter.

The Silentnight Yours & Mine Dual Tog duvet is the top bedding product to end all arguments.
Silentnight Yours & Mine Dual Tog duvet design
This half-and-half duvet means each side of the duvet comes in a different tog rating.
Therefore, if one person feels the cold more than the other, you can have the perfect temperature balance throughout.
The duvet is available in two options:
- Summer option with a 4.5 tog on one side and 7.5 tog on the other
- Winter option with a 10.5 tog on one side and 13.5 tog on the other
We tested the winter duvet over several weeks during the winter season.
Silentnight Yours & Mine Dual Tog duvet comfort
Overall the Silentnight duvet had a thick and cosy feel.
The duvet is filled with soft hollowfibre that keeps us snuggly and warm during the night.
We found the 13.5 tog half of the duvet a little too warm when we had the heating on or on milder nights.
And it wasn't the best at regulating temperature when we felt overheated.
However, it kept us nice and toasty during frosty evenings.
We tested the duvet as a couple with opposing temperature needs and found it to be excellent at providing a good temperature balance for both.
We'd recommend this duvet to:
- Couples who have conflicting temperature requirements
- Budget buyers looking for a fuss-free product
- Cold sleepers who need extra winter warmth
This practical winter duvet can also be washed at 60°C.
Silentnight Yours & Mine Dual Tog duvet delivery
The Silentnight Yours & Mine Dual Tog duvet came with free and fast delivery.
We received our new winter duvet within a week of placing our order.
We really liked the cylinder-shaped storage bag the Silentnight duvet came in.
It's much more compact than the large rectangular bags in other duvet products.
Unfortunately, the storage bag ripped after we took the duvet out.
If you're looking for a duvet with a durable, reusable storage bag, the Night Owl duvet is a better option.

How we test products
Our mission is to take the guesswork out of finding the perfect sleep products.
We've dedicated hundreds of hours to testing mattresses and sleep accessories, and rely on a team of testers of differing weights, temperature preferences, and sleeping positions to evaluate each product.
Tested products are granted the Sleep Hero tested stamp of approval, a mark of our review's reliability.
If we haven't personally tested a product, please be assured that we invest significant time and energy into scouring the UK market and researching the best recommendations, and we work with a team of sleep experts who review our articles, ensuring that the insights we provide are not only relatable but also reliable.
What is a winter duvet?
You can feel snowed under by all the options available when shopping online.

But there will be a particular duvet suited to your individual needs.
Summer and winter duvets are designed to combat different temperature requirements.
A cool duvet for summer pushes away excess heat and creates a breathable sleeping space.
On the other hand, a winter duvet retains heat and keeps you toasty throughout the night by maintaining your body heat in the bed. 🌡️
However, it's still possible to overheat during the winter so we recommend a duvet that is breathable and can balance out temperature well.
Walter Braun
Mattress Expert
About 80% of the overall temperature in bed is determined by the duvet. If you overheat or freeze in bed, you should reconsider your choice of duvet. Depending on which duvet you use, it may not be suitable for your new mattress.
Having a summer and winter duvet that can be swapped throughout the year is a great way to improve your sleep comfort. ✔️
You should consider the duvet materials, tog rating and what other factors it includes.
We'll be looking at the various factors of how to choose a winter duvet below.
What tog should a winter duvet be?
Knowing what tog you need is essential when shopping for a winter warm duvet. 🤔
The "tog" rating on a duvet tells you how warm it is; higher tog means warmer and lower tog means cooler.
The best tog duvet for winter depends on your body temperature and how well your home stays warm during the colder season.
Lighterweight winter duvets with a lower tog rating will be more suitable for hot sleepers.
Likewise, we recommend a higher tog for cold sleepers and those living in old or drafty builds.
A duvet tog 10.5 and above is ideal for most during the cold season.
Follow our winter duvet tog guide below:
Tog rating | Best for |
7.5 | Those who get hot easily |
10.5 - 13.5 | Those that get neither too hot nor cold |
15.5+ | Those that feel cold easily |
Some duvets are also customisable and can be detached to be used throughout the year.
For example, the Simba 3-in-1 duvet can be customised into a lower and higher tog rating for different seasons:
What is the best duvet filling for winter?
As well as choosing the correct tog rating for the season, you should also consider the cover material and filling.
Materials have different benefits, durability and temperature-regulating properties.
The best duvet for winter will be made of materials that keep you warm and cosy while still being breathable.
Feather & down
Goose down duvets are one of our favourite options for winter. 🦆
Feather and down winter duvets are lightweight and breathable but great at insulating heat at night.
Unlike hollowfibre, down stays fluffy and should last for years without the filling clumping.
However, down is also very expensive and not ideal for those on a budget. 💰
Wool
A wool duvet is another excellent natural option.
They are great at regulating temperature, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. 🔥

Wool duvets are highly sustainable because they’re easy to produce and 100% biodegradable. ♻️
Another great aspect is that they're usually chemical-free because their natural flame-resistant properties mean they don’t need to be treated with fire-retardant chemicals.
Wool is hypoallergenic, preventing dust and mould, making it ideal for allergy sufferers.
Hollowfibre
Hollowfibre is a synthetic material which is cheap to manufacture for those on a budget.
Generally, hollowfibre duvets are easy to care for, and synthetic duvets like this can be washed easily. 🧼
Hollowfibre has a springy feel and can come in different thicknesses depending on your needs.
Hollowfibre duvets keep you warm, but the airy fibres are fairly breathable too.
However, hollowfibre duvets are not as good quality or long-lasting as down duvets, and you may find they start clumping after a while.
But there are better quality alternatives available.
The Night Owl duvet, for example, is made with high-quality 100% recycled fibrefill.
This is our favourite synthetic duvet option for winter.
When to change to a winter duvet
If you use a summer and winter duvet throughout the year, planning ahead is key.
James Higgins, CEO of Ethical Bedding, monitored temperature changes to determine the best time to swap out your duvet.

He explained that there is usually a 25% drop in temperature at the end of September and the beginning of October. 🍁
He says: 'Based on these figures and usual weather routines, we would advise that people swap their duvet tog a little earlier in preparation, which would be Sunday 25th September.'
Of course, you should use your own judgement and monitor the temperature as it can differ year on year.
We recommend swapping to a winter duvet when you feel a significant drop in the temperature.
If you’re putting on your winter coats and turning up the central heating, it’s probably time to switch to a warm winter duvet. 😴

What size is a winter duvet?
Winter duvets are available in all standard UK sizes.
These include:
- Winter duvet single - 135 x 200 cm (4'4" x 6'6")
- Double winter duvet - 200 x 200 cm (6’6” x 6’6”)
- Winter duvet king size - 230 x 220 cm (7'5" x 7'2")
- Super king size winter duvet - 260 x 220 cm (8'5" x 7'2")
- Emperor winter duvet: 290 x 235 cm (9'5" x 7'7")
We also advise buying a duvet a size up from your bed size for a fuller look.
For example, opt for a double duvet for a single bed or a king-size duvet for a double bed.
How to wash a winter duvet
Many duvets are machine-washable.

You should check the washing label on your specific duvet to see if it is machine-washable or dry-clean only. 🏷️
Some duvets may be too big for your washing machine.
However, laundrettes are available with larger-capacity machines.
Can I put a duvet in the tumble dryer?
Some duvets can be tumble-dried as well as machine-washed. ✅
The label on your duvet will indicate whether the duvet is safe for the tumble dryer.
You should contact the manufacturer if you can no longer see the label.
But we also recommend a good quality duvet cover set that can be washed regularly.
Our favourite duvet cover sets:
Winter duvet prices
Like regular duvets, winter duvets are available in different price categories.💰
Prices for winter duvets start anywhere from £30 - £800.

This depends on the quality and materials of the duvet.
Winter duvets made from luxurious natural materials will be more expensive.
For example, a Hungarian Goose down duvet will be significantly more costly than one made from synthetic fibres.
Winter duvet discount codes
Winter duvets are often on sale.
You can find winter duvet voucher codes online to save you money. 💵
Winter duvet sales are available throughout the year, and you can get great discounts during promotional periods such as Black Friday.
Our discounts page has a dedicated list of the best winter duvet promotions.
You can also sign up for our newsletter for regular updates on our favourite deals.
What else should you stock up on in winter?
A warm duvet for winter is a great start.
But you can get a range of different sleep products to create a warmer sleeping environment during wintertime.
You should consider:
- Winter duvet set (including winter duvet covers and pillowcases)
- Bed throws
- Electric blanket
- Weighted blankets
- Hot water bottle
- Onesies and hoodie blankets (such as Oodie)
With the current UK climate and exorbitant prices of gas and electricity, it’s essential to make sure you feel warm enough at night. 🌙

Should you buy a winter duvet?
We recommend a winter duvet to stay toasty on those colder winter nights.
The best winter quilt helps to insulate heat, so you’re not shivering in bed when the temperature plummets.
If space is tight and you don’t want to own multiple duvets, consider an all-seasons duvet instead.
We’ve got plenty of reviews on these options:
You can also get winter duvets that can be detached into a lower tog for the summer, such as the Simba 3-in-1 duvet.
