A good night’s sleep depends not only on your mattress and pillows but also on the duvet you choose. The right duvet ensures comfort, regulates temperature, and enhances the overall sleep experience. For warmer nights or naturally heated bedrooms, 4.5 tog duvets provide the ideal level of lightweight warmth. At The Towel Shop, our 4.5 tog duvet collection is carefully designed to deliver restful sleep in every season. These duvets combine advanced materials, soft fillings, and high-quality stitching, ensuring both comfort and durability. All our duvets offer value, luxury, and long-lasting performance.
Understanding 4.5 Tog Duvets
The term “tog” refers to a duvet’s thermal insulation level — how well it retains warmth. A 4.5 tog duvet provides a low level of insulation, making it perfect for warm summer months and naturally heated rooms. Unlike heavier duvets designed for winter, a 4.5 tog duvet promotes airflow and prevents discomfort during hot nights. It maintains a balance between coolness and light warmth, helping you stay comfortable throughout the night.
Design and Style Options
Our 4.5 tog duvets are available in multiple styles to suit diverse preferences and usage settings.
- Standard Box Stitch Duvets:
Box-stitched duvets feature evenly spaced pockets that keep the filling in place. This design prevents clumping, ensuring consistent warmth across the surface. It’s ideal for long-term use in hotels and homes.
- Channel Stitch Duvets:
These duvets have vertical or horizontal stitched channels. The streamlined design offers an even distribution of filling while maintaining a lightweight structure that drapes easily over the body.
- Quilted Duvets:
Quilted duvets add an extra touch of style and structure. They are visually appealing and often chosen for premium accommodation settings, combining softness with aesthetic appeal.
- Easy-Care Duvets:
Crafted with practicality in mind, these duvets are machine washable and quick-drying. Their durable stitching and low-maintenance fabric make them suitable for busy households, hotels, or B&Bs.
Material Options
Materials define the comfort, breathability, and longevity of any duvet. Our 4.5 tog duvets are available in a variety of materials to meet different needs and budgets.
- Microfibre Duvets:
Made from ultra-fine synthetic fibres, microfibre duvets are soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic. They mimic the feel of natural down but are more affordable and easier to care for. Microfibre also wicks away moisture, keeping you cool and fresh during summer nights.
- Hollowfibre Duvets:
These duvets feature a filling made of hollow polyester fibres that trap air, providing lightweight warmth. They’re durable, easy to wash, and ideal for allergy sufferers. Hollowfibre duvets also retain their shape well after multiple washes, making them a practical long-term investment.
- Bamboo Fibre Duvets:
Bamboo-filled duvets are an eco-friendly and naturally breathable choice. The bamboo fibres are temperature-regulating, moisture-wicking, and antimicrobial, making them suitable for sensitive skin. Their sustainable nature also makes them a top pick for environmentally conscious buyers.
- Cotton-Covered Duvets:
The outer shell of a duvet influences its breathability and feel. Our cotton-covered 4.5 tog duvets feature a soft, natural casing that enhances comfort. Cotton is hypoallergenic, durable, and gentle against the skin, offering luxury-level softness at an affordable price.
- Non-Allergenic Duvets:
Perfect for those with asthma or allergies, non-allergenic duvets are made with synthetic fillings that prevent dust mites and bacterial growth. These are ideal for hotels, healthcare environments, and everyday use at home.
GSM and Weight
While the tog rating measures warmth, GSM (grams per square metre) measures filling density. A 4.5 tog duvet typically ranges between 250 to 300 GSM, depending on the material used. This ensures the duvet remains lightweight, airy, and easy to handle.

Our duvets come in a range of standard UK sizes, ensuring a perfect fit for every bed:
- Single: 135 x 200 cm
- Double: 200 x 200 cm
- King: 230 x 220 cm

Care and Maintenance Tips
Proper care helps extend the life of your duvet while maintaining its freshness and comfort.
- Most 4.5 tog duvets can be machine washed at 40°C with a gentle detergent.
- Air dry or tumble dry on a low setting. Avoid direct sunlight to preserve the fabric.
- Store duvets in a cool, dry place. Use breathable cotton storage bags instead of plastic ones.
- Regularly shake and air your duvet to keep the filling evenly distributed and fresh.
- For minor stains, use a mild cleaning solution and dab gently with a soft cloth.
