    Use your judgement, and above all, be honest with yourself. :)

  • Hi

    You usually attach them together!
    11.5 + 4.5 = 16 Tog (+ the airspace between the quilts)= very warm quilt!

    Aah I see, thanks Simon and Helen.

    I suppose I could just add my old double duvet for extremely cold nights like we had earlier this week.

    Well Im happy with them now, they are luxurious and comforting and are half the normal high street price which is always good as long as the quality remains.

    Coolio, I got mine because my friend was buying a Sat Nav machine and it was somewhere in north london, nearest store to N6. I hope you and Doolio can cuddle together in the same comfort soon (If not you two girls could always pop round to my place and share my duvet!) ;)

    Coolio,

    I had thought the same originally but I can assure you the duvet is not too thin. It has been packed very thinly but once you open and shake it and use it, it seems to quadruple in size.

    Having reflected I think the duvet is actually a better bargain than the pillows as I prefer the support from my old pillows as opposed to the squishyness of feather pillows.

    The 13.5 tog has been fine except for the first two nights when it was the coldest weather of the year and I was on my own.

    Did you go up to N6 to find it?

    no, thamesmead

    The ones I got were Bedcrest. £7.99 for 2 pillows, the duvert was on offer at £17.99. May have to go back and get the duvet and cancel the debenhams order. The debenhams one is just feather, and not down as well, and i dont think the cover is 100% cotton. Run out of car tax tho so shall have to wait until tuesday night
