FAQs
1. What tog duvet do I need?
A 13.5 tog duvet is ideal for winter warmth, a 10.5 tog suits spring and autumn, and a 4.5 tog is best for summer. For year-round use, a 13.5 tog like the Bedroom Couture So Soft Microfibre Duvet is a popular all-rounder for Irish homes.
2. What's the best pillow for allergies?
An anti-allergy pillow is best if you're prone to dust or allergens, as it's designed to resist common triggers while staying soft and supportive. The Neuhaus Anti Allergy Pillow Twin Pack is a good-value option for everyday use.
3. What's the difference between a duvet set and a fitted sheet?
A duvet set (or quilt set) covers your duvet and includes matching pillowcases, while a fitted sheet goes over the mattress to keep it clean and comfortable for a complete bed you'll usually want both, plus a mattress protector underneath.
4. Duvet vs quilt — what's the difference?
A duvet is a soft, filled insert that needs a separate cover, while a quilt (or quilt set) is often sold with a decorative cover and matching pillowcases ready to use. Duvets let you swap covers and tog ratings easily, while a quilt set like the Bianca Ashford Stripe Duvet Set gives you a coordinated look straight away.
