Luxury Microfibre Filling 1.5 Tog Duvet

It's designed primarily for summer, but it works well beyond that. In spring and autumn, you can layer the 1.5 tog inside a duvet cover alongside a higher tog duvet - combining them gives you more warmth than either would on its own, and you can separate them again when the temperature changes. Some people who sleep particularly warm use a 1.5 tog year-round and add a throw or blanket for the colder months rather than switching to a heavier duvet.

At 1.5 tog there's very little insulation in either filling, so the practical difference between them is smaller than at higher tog ratings. Microfibre is lighter in feel, fully hypoallergenic, machine washable at home, and dries quickly. Natural down has a slightly softer loft and better moisture-wicking properties, but it typically costs more and requires more careful laundering. For a summer-only duvet that gets washed frequently, microfibre is the more practical choice.

Yes. The 100% microfibre filling is fully hypoallergenic - it does not harbour dust mites, mould, or other common allergens the way natural fillings can. It's also machine washable at 40°C, which means you can wash it regularly to remove any allergens that settle on the surface. If allergies are a particular concern, using a duvet protector underneath your duvet cover adds a further barrier.

Box quilting stitches the duvet into individual pockets, each holding its own portion of filling. Without it, microfibre can shift and clump towards the edges or corners, leaving thin patches in the middle. Box quilting keeps the filling evenly distributed across the full surface of the duvet, so every part feels the same weight and warmth. It also means the duvet holds its shape better after washing.

A 1.5 tog duvet provides very little insulation, which is the point. It gives you the physical comfort of something to sleep under, the weight and drape of a duvet - without trapping heat. Most people find it feels like a light, soft layer rather than nothing at all. If your bedroom sits above 20°C on summer nights, 1.5 tog will keep you comfortable without overheating. If you prefer a bit more substance, our 4.5 tog microfibre duvet is the next step up.
