DO YOU SPEAK TOG? THE MYSTERY OF BEDDING EXPLAINED.

 Watch video.

Too hot in winter, too chilled in summer? It could be down to your Togs.

Many people are mystified about how the rating system for bedding actually works and end up getting overheated or left shivering in bed because they choose the wrong type of quilt.

Housing Units, one of the UK’s leading furniture stores, has produced a short video which explains the Tog system and how it can help – or hinder, if misunderstood – a good night’s sleep.

“The Tog system basically tells you how effective – both in terms of keeping your warm and keeping you comfortably cool – your bedding is. But while many think it’s simply a case of big duvets keeping you warm and thin ones keeping you cool, that’s not necessarily so,” said Nick Fox of Housing Units

“The Tog system, for instance, also allows for people who sleep alone or with their partner, because that can also have an effect upon heat retention – and can guide on how different Tog-rated layers can be combined or removed as the seasons change.”
