What Tog Duvet ?

Stupid Question I know

My husband and I are having a slight disagrement as to what tog we should get for our duvet .  What it sufficient tog for the winter?   I visited a few shops in November - the Spanish ones said 4.5 is enough , but the English ones said you need a higher tog .  In the UK we saw a duvet with a 7 tog and hubs was all for buying it.   We hope to visit in Xmas 08.  

Is it worth buying bed linen over from the UK or is it cheaper in Spain ?

My sister is a coldie and we bought 13.5 tog quilts which she found OK at Christmas.

Hi Tamsin

Seeing as we had a spare electric overblanket sitting around here in the UK we took that to Spain as we spend almost a month over Christmas & New Year & often time there in February too. It airs the bed before we get in otherwise first night it's a bit brr in 100% cotton sheets.  We only put it on for 10-15 mins. It stays under the Ottoman bed we have otherwise.

However, we generally use just a 7.5 tog duvet in winter. Just depends on whether you heat room, feel the cold etc, doesn't it ? 

I bought bedding from Additions Direct catalogue for spare beds there as they are beautiful & so cheap but good quality. We bought Northern Nights bedlinen for our bed as the 320 tog quality is superb & in summer we are so comfortable. Previously I'd have used 50% polyester/50% cotton but would never go back to that for summer in Spain. Far too hot.
