Too hot…too cold… too hot… too cold…that pretty much sums up the critique I’ve had on the duvets I’ve purchased so far. I’ve been trying to track down a quality 7.5 tog duvet for quite a while now. Trust me, its no easy challenge! I always find that 4.5 tog duvets are just too light and not warm enough, but then I feel like I am suffocating in a 10.5-tog duvet – especially during the summer and even well into autumn this year!

I was delighted when I found this duvet on the Marks & Spencer website. Admittedly, it was sold out when I first stumbled across it, so I had to wait a few weeks for it to come back in stock but it was definitely worth the wait. This duvet provides the perfect amount of warmth. It’s a nice weight as well – it’s comfortable and you really can get snuggled into it, but it’s not too heavy.

I usually buy natural duvets. So I was a little bit worried since this one has a polyester Dacron filling. However I took the risk because I buy a lot of home goods from M&S and to be honest the 7.5 tog sold it to me. I needn’t of worried. This duvet has the luxurious feeling you look for when buying a natural duvet, so I really didn’t miss this aspect.

Aside from having to wait for the product, the only other thing I will say is that the finishing touches aren’t what I have come to expect from M&S. The duvet has only been partly sewn, instead of being sewn the entire way round. As of yet, nothing has fallen apart, but I haven’t had the product for long so this is something that concerns me slightly.

On the whole, I’d certainly recommend this duvet, especially if warmth is your main concern.
