Does anyone here actually do this?? Or do you just have the same duvet on your bed all year round? I only ask because we have just the one, which is quite a thick one, and last night I was just so hot that I thought why on earth don't I just but a much lighter weight one for the summer? ( only slight issue would be storing this bigger one somewhere until winter but that's about it).

I do ihave 2 lighter ones which I put together in winter, it works well as I can put in the washing machine, as I  can't get a winter one in.

Yes, I do.
4.5tog for the summer, and 10.5tog for the winter.
Whichever one is not in used is popped in a vacuum storage bag and uses hardly any space.

I sleep under a lightweight throw in the summer.  I can't stand being hot in bed

Put it in a bin again and stuff in in the airing cupboard if you have one or the loft.

I do, but haven't yet - glad, as it was chilly last night.  Cold rain all morning.

I can't sleep if I'm too hot and discoverd quite by accident that the top of the duvet is quite cool compared with the side that's against the body. If I wake up because I'm too hot, I just flip the duvet over and the cooler side cools me down and I fall asleep very quickly.

Yes I do Smo - like ferlew I have a 10.5 and a 4.5.  

The difficulty is when to take the plunge and do the changeover.   I was about to get out the summer one and then it got a bit chilly again.  But you can always put a warm throw on top.

 

I don't need a thick duvet.  I have two cats🐈🐈‍⬛

Yes...John Lewis All-Seasons. Two together for Winter, the thin one for Summer and thicker for Spring and Autumn.

lol @ dustypuss!

Yes I think I may order one today - I know the weathers turned grotty again after such a gorgeous weekend, but I really can't stand being hot at night. 

I use the same duvet all year but supplement it with a fleece blanket when it's colder. 

One extra thick one for the dark cold winter nights, and two thinner ones come into action in the spring.

Think of the tog ratings (I've no idea) reminded me of Rhod Gilberts take on it...

*Thinking of...

No, I don't swap duvets as we have only one. I take that off when it gets warmer and put an eiderdown on the bed.

Then, I take my duvet to be cleaned and store it in the bag that the dry cleaners put it in.

I change mine as soon as it starts to get warmer. Doesn't matter which one is on the bed though, i still have to have at least one foot outside the covers or i cannot sleep. 

Told my kids that's why i want cremating when i've 'popped me clogs'. If they decide to bury me, they'll have to ensure one of my feet is outside the grave or i'll never rest. πŸ˜

LOL Ken!

I changed to the lighter duvet at the beginning of May. We have a single throw each which we can add or take away depending on the changes in weather or separate preferences. 
 

The winter duvet gets squashed into a big laundry bag and stored at the top of the cupboard. 
 

They are designed to be clipped together for ultra warmth but that's rarely necessary. 
 

 

Summer duvet is 4tog. Winter is 13tog.

My wife absolutely insists that I'm hot in bed, or else.

My duvet clips together a 4 and 9 tog

I have a sleeping bag which unzips to form a lightweight quilt.  I use it in the warmer nights.
