We've tested 75 duvets and these are the best for every budget

Score: 98/100

A 4.5 tog duvet may seem too light to keep you warm on chillier nights, but Simba’s clever Stratos “cool touch” fabric works to regulate temperature and kept our testers snug without causing any sweating during our tests.

It scored highly in other areas, too – the fabric is soft, durable and well-made, while the recycled plastic bottle filling is evenly distributed without clumping. As a result, everyone slept soundly.

In fact, this duvet was difficult to fault – it was easy to clean, store and fit into a double duvet cover, so you won’t be wrestling with it on laundry day, either.

This all-seasons duvet was a “game-changer” for testers. They loved the choice between layers (either 4.5 or 9 tog) and the option to join them together to create a thicker 13.5 tog duvet for the coldest nights – even if connecting them via the ‘cufflink’ design was a little fiddly.

Making the bed with both layers combined was also a challenge due to its cosy thickness. But this didn’t put our testers off – all agreed they would recommend this duvet to friends and family, with its luxuriously soft feel and high-quality touches, such as the grey trim detailing, helping to seal the deal.

We also tested the Soak and Sleep Soft As Down Microfibre Duvet with a 10.5 tog rating, which scored 96/100. Read our review in our roundup of the best winter duvets.

Score: 96/100

Our winning down duvet wowed the experts with its luxurious quality. A combination of goose down and feathers makes it super soft, lightweight and comfortable to sleep under – and our testers weren’t prickled by feathers poking through, either. Some found it slightly bumpier than synthetic duvets, but that’s to be expected with down.

Note that The White Company says its filling is sourced from cruelty-free suppliers and it only uses food industry by-products. Impressively for down, it washed well and was easy to pop inside a duvet cover. But we’ll leave you with the words of one of our testers, who said: “This is amazing, like a hug in a duvet!”

Score: 94/100

Despite the high 15 tog rating, testers didn’t find this duvet too thick; instead, they said it was comfortable and snug to sleep under. They also liked the ‘puffy’ appearance, which made their beds even more inviting than normal.

It may not be as luxurious and dense as a down duvet, but every tester said they’d recommend it to friends and family after the four-week trial. It washed well (though it took a while to dry) and maintained its high-quality stitching and comfort.

Score: 94/100

Small, secure poppers turn this into a versatile, year-round duvet. When its 3.5 tog and 7 tog layers are combined, the full 10.5 togs are perfect for the chillier nights, while the separate layers will see you through the rest of the year.

We’d have liked a storage bag for the extra parts but otherwise, the three-in-one design was a big hit. The layers stayed together securely when combined and were quiet too. Our experts noticed some shrinkage during the wash tests but otherwise, it maintained it’s even filling and high-quality stitching.

Score: 93/100

Just like the Emma option above, this is another 10.5 tog duvet that's made up of two lighter layers. Again, this Simba duvet is filled with soft polyester, which is made from recycled plastic bottles and boasts the brand's temperature control technology, designed to help you sleep well all year round.

Some testers found the fully combined duvet too hot, so they appreciated the versatility of the separate layers on warmer nights. It shrunk slightly in the wash and rustled a bit when testers tossed and turned in their sleep, but everyone still said they’d recommend it to a friend.

Score: 92/100

Filled with 100% natural eucalyptus fibres, this duvet from up-and-coming sleep brand Larke is a great option if you want to avoid synthetic materials and down isn’t for you. Eucalyptus is known for its breathable and moisture-wicking properties, plus it’s naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to bacteria growth.

Our panellists tried the 4.5 tog option, and they were seriously impressed. They appreciated how lightweight it was – even in larger sizes like super king – making it easy to handle when changing the sheets.

It proved especially popular with the hot sleepers on our panel, who said it did an excellent job of regulating their temperature overnight. Some would have liked a weightier option to make them feel cocooned, but that comes down to personal preference. You can also opt for the 10.5 or 13.5 tog versions if cosiness is key. We haven't tested it in these togs but they come with the same breathable and moisture-wicking properties.

Score: 92/100

Described as offering “five-star hotel quality” by one panellist, this more eco-friendly, two-part duvet cover is a delight to sleep under, with a high-thread-count finish that feels cool-to-the-touch and silky-soft against the skin. The duvet was easy to unpack, fitted snugly inside our cover, and washed and dried well, although it did shrink very slightly after cleaning.

The snap button system allows you to attach the 4.5 tog duvet and 10.5 tog duvet together (you’ll need to purchase both separately) for extra warmth in the winter, making this a versatile year-round design. It’s worth noting that the popper connection can be a bit fiddly to fasten and, as expected, it’s heavier when using both layers, but this was by no means a deal-breaker. In fact, 100% of panellists said they’d purchase the duvet again and recommend it to others.

Score: 91/100

Made from 100% British wool, this Slumberdown duvet is a heavyweight option that naturally regulates body temperature to provide warmth and cosiness. Testers found it a joy to sleep under and appreciated the nice natural smell of the wool, alongside the crisp, quality cotton cover.

Performance-wise, it was a real all-rounder. However, it's a bit trickier to care for than others on our list. Wool is naturally anti-bacterial, but this duvet’s not machine washable. Removing coffee stains with a wet sponge required plenty of scrubbing, and drying took a while, too. But if you're careful with your morning brew, it’s a fantastic buy.

Score: 91/100

Another wool duvet that wowed our testers, this premium buy from Rise and Fall is made with traceable British wool. Our panel found it luxuriously soft to the touch thanks to its high-quality finish and even filling. All of which helped them enjoy a dreamy night’s sleep.

It regulated their temperature well, but some found it noisy when they snuggled under the covers, so that’s something to keep in mind if you’re a light sleeper. It’s not machine washable either, but that’s easily solved with a trip to the dry cleaners.

Score: 91/100

Our testers appreciated the sustainable efforts behind Snuggledown’s down duvet; the natural materials are ethically sourced and Responsible Down Standard (RDS) certified. The brand also manufactures it right here in the UK.

It doesn’t just impress on paper, though. Testers loved its comforting yet lightweight feel, which kept them pleasingly warm at night. It was effortless to unpack, move and fit into a duvet cover too.

The only real downside came post-wash and dry, when some elbow grease was needed to fluff and disperse the down filling evenly again. Otherwise, it remained the same premium duvet our testers had come to love.

Score: 91/100

Testers raved about the oh-so-soft feel of this duvet with its cover made from moisture-wicking, breathable eucalyptus fibres. The bamboo filling (which also uses some recycled plastic bottles) has similar breathability characteristics.

Everything about the product was super high-quality – it even came packed in a well-designed bag that’s handy for storage, should you need something that’s weightier in winter (although our testers found it lightweight and cosy).

One thing to note is that the bag doesn’t contain any care instructions, so look online for those – everything on the website is thorough and easy to understand though, so this shouldn’t be an issue.

Score: 91/100

This is another duvet you’ll want to reach for during the heights of summer or if you're an especially sweaty sleeper. It’s 4.5 togs, filled with soft hollowfibre and encased in microfibre, and it ticked our boxes for comfort, breathability and anti-allergy properties, so you can sleep easy all night long.

It was easy to wash and earned a big thumbs up from our testers for drying in less than three hours. Bear in mind that it’s lightweight, so may not be warm enough for winter – it's the perfect heatwave companion, though.

Score: 91/100

This duvet lived up to its name. Our testers found the 10.5 tog option was indeed brilliant at regulating their body temperature, keeping them cool at night and stopping them from waking up sweaty. And rest assured that it also aced our wash tests – its quality was still high after multiple washes (with no shrinkage) and it dried quickly.

In theory, this duvet should suit all year round, but it may be a little too airy for chillier months. For quality and comfort though, this is a great buy at under £50.

Score: 90/100

If you think a 4.5 tog duvet may be too lightweight for you, then this Emma one could be a great alternative – at 6.7 togs, it's slightly more substantial. Our panel described it as “indulgent,” generally enjoying the way its soft microfibre filling and casing regulated their body temperature. Plus, small touches like piping around the edges gave it a premium finish.

Instead of shrinking like some of the other duvets we’ve tested, this one stretched in our wash tests. This was only minimal though, so it still fitted nicely into our duvet cover, and the filling remained evenly distributed, helping our testers enjoy their beauty sleep.
