I need to get a new duvet for my 8 year old.
Her last one the label has faded and I have no idea of the tog rating.
Is 7.5 warm enough/cool enough for year round do you think?

This is a 10.5 tog + 4.5 tog duvet so you can have 4.5, 10.5 and 15 tog. Amazon.com User Recommendation?th=1&psc=1

We have 9 tog all year round in an unheated bedroom. Sometimes too hot in summer when we either throw it back or substitute a cotton sheet for the few nights the heatwave lasts.

THECORBYLOON, Officially, the answer would be 0,75m²K/W but for me that is of no real help. I will continue to buy a "duvet" (if I ever need to buy another one, maybe as a present) based on the type of filling and its weight (I would always choose down) - and always a single, doubles are as bad as blankets and/or something else/anything in layers.

I'm surprised by the number of people who use a throw/fleece/blanket over a duvet....rather defeats the object of using a duvet.
If you need to add other items on top, then you haven't got the right duvet...which is where the "all-seasons" type come into their own.

The temperature is so variable day to day though, I’d rather throw a light fleece blanket on or off than change the duvet each day.

We don't use a duvet any more. Just a sheet and an eiderdown. If it gets chilly, I might put a fleecy top on the eiderdown but as Mr T is very hot in bed, that rarely happens.
I can't help with Tog ratings. Previously we had a summer quilt, 2 tog and an autumn/ spring quilt, 8 Tog and in the winter we could put them both together but we never did.
It really all depends on how comfortable your daughter is. What about this, with a nice fleecy throw for the colder months.

One thing occurs to me. We do not change our "duvet" at any point throughout the year, same one throughout, and in that are clearly different from at least some contributors here. There are probably only two reasons for this, one being the room temperature we maintain and the other how we use the "duvets". The room temperature is permanently between 18 and 21 degrees (mostly at 19-20) and we never have anything on top of the "duvets"or between them and ourselves, each of us using a single size. This means that each of us is able to instinctively and independently regulate to what extent we are covered while asleep. An arm, leg or both gets poked out quite regularly and we have often seen each other asleep with the thing down close to waist level in the middle of the night and very occasionally each of us has wakened up aware that we had pushed it off entirely. At well over 70 years of age we both sleep very well. The "duvets" we are currently using are probably not far off 20 years old and in good condition.

If funds run to it, Bednobs have a look at Devon Duvets. Two weights in 100% cotton with British wool filling. The most comfortable duvets and brilliant at keeping the body at a pleasant temperature for sleeping.....and the smell of the sheepy wool is just bliss.
We recently treated our spare beds to two as a treat for our UK guests....but now of course we can't have any flipping guests!

Glad for you Tills..I am as well. "She who must be obeyed" changes ours every Spring and Autumn. The Summer one is Tog0,the Winter one is Tog10.
