When the child becomes older, you can start looking at something which has a slightly higher tog rating such as our Snug Bed2Go Bedset 10.5 Tog duvet. If though, you are unsure as to which duvet tog to go for, it’s essential that your child is comfortable and not overly warm, at least until they get older. Therefore, we would suggest going for a lower tog of duvet. but keeping a blanket on the bed for added warmth when necessary.

It’s important that pillows and duvets are not used for children under the age of 12 months. This is to help reduce the risk of overheating or suffocation. BabyCentre suggests a room temperature of between 16 and 20 degrees is warm enough for babies to sleep warm and comfortably. The tog rating measures the scale of the duvet’s warmth, referring to the efficiency of the material’s thermal insulation and means that not only temperature is affected, but the weight and softness too will depend on the tog rating. Also, as we think ahead to the cooler weather to come over the next few months, it could be worthwhile thinking about getting a new duvet.We’ve all at some point experienced the discomfort of feeling overly hot in bed or waking up in a sweat which is very unpleasant, and certainly doesn’t make sleeping any easier.

Tog: This rating is perfect for Spring and Autumn through which it isn’t quite warm enough to warrant the heavier duvet, but you still want to remain cosy and warm. Tog: One of the lower options of tog rating, this lightweight duvet is ideal for the warmer summer months in which you want to keep cool and comfortable, especially during hot evenings. So as you can see, ensuring that you’re getting the recommended amount of sleep every night doesn’t just help to keep you energised and refreshed the following day but is also a necessary requirement to keep your body healthy and performing efficiently. We suggest starting off with a lighter weight duvet such as our Silentnight Cooler Summer Duvet 4.5 Tog whilst the child is still quite young, before moving up to one of our Silentnight Deep Sleep Duvet 7.5 Tog duvets when they become a little bit older.As most baby monitors include a thermometer, this can help you to regulate the room’s temperature effectively, if not, it would be worth purchasing a room thermometer.
