King Size Duvet

Turlock

Need to get a new duvet but don't have a clue what to go for, so any advice?

looking to spend 50 to 60ish (I think)

Is this any use? http://www.lidl.ie/ie/home.nsf/pages/c.o.20101111.p.Winter_Duvet_King_Size

IKEA ftw. They have lots of different togs and types of duvets!

Argos do duvets, though no idea what they're like..

Sorry Turlock, I'm gonna hijack the thread for a sec, but what's the best tog to get for the winter months? I dunno what mine is at the min, but it's not warm enough!!!

Work away ghf that's exactly what I'm looking to know, I wouldn't know a good duvet from a bad one so I'm sure someone out there knows what they're doing

they say 10+ (pos 12+) for winter afaik

very hard to say, as you'll usually go to your current duvet to see what it is, and then compare off that... but your current (read old), has probably lost a fair bit of, err, 'warmth'.. I know my old 14(!) is nowhere near as warm as our new 10

Got my last in dunnes a few years ago. I was surprised at the time to see M&S had reasonably priced down/feather ones. Shaws in dun laoghaire had cheap duvets too.

Shaws have lovely half price ones for 65

I'm shopping around for one at the min - arnotts have some on sale on their website and TK maxx have some good ones as well.

I've seen lovely ones in Guineys, called Lady Clare or Lady Jane or something, I forget the exact price .... maybe €25 - 35?? The cover is that gorgeous soft microfibre, comes in a handy plastic carry/storage bag too.

P.S. Lidl are great in general, I shop there all the time, although their duvets seem to be made for people living in the Canaries. This is Ireland not Furteventura, so 7.5 tog is useless, and for €60, forget it! Lidl are completely out of touch on this one. For example, I have 2 duvets on my bed, one is 15 tog, the other 13.5 tog, and I have an electric blanket underneath. :eek: 13.5 tog is minimum for me. There's plenty of duvets to choose from between €30 and €50 in Guineys.

15 tog is good winter weight - guineys or dunnes are as good as anywhere
