Organising duvets/pillows

textbook
Posts: 789 Forumite


Due to allergies was thinking about throwing out and buying new pillows/duvets,what should I go for? It would be for a king size bed for me and single size for ten year old. What togs for winter and summer? And pillow
types?
I've got a 4.5 tog single, 4.5 tog king
10.5tog king 7.0 tog single kid uses in summer
How do u know the age of them?
I also bought these clear zip up cases to keep dust off, good for storing duvets etc?
Attached photo of bags, should I use to store them?

It depends onn how warmm you expect to be 4.5tog is usually best for summer weight and anything over 10.5tog for winter.
You can buy some that join both making 15 tog for really cold weather.
Again what you spend depends on your budget I often see quite cheap ones around.0 -
I'd also consider whether you want synthetic or natural fillings e.g. feathers, wool etc.
Personally I find cheap duvets and pillows tend to disintegrate fairly quickly or are (in the case of pillows) horrible to sleep on.
I use washable quilted zipped pillow protectors which help to keep the pillows themselves clean and the protectors can be washed with the bedding.
What's your budget for these replacements?
John Lewis has a 10.5 single duvet in their anyday range for £18.50
Or a made to order single size winter weight for £4,935 (no, that isn't a typo)
