Stay Warm this Winter with Button & Sprung’s Expert Tips
As winter nights grow colder, staying warm in bed can become a challenge. But don’t worry! With a few small tweaks, you can transform your bedroom into a cosy retreat.
These changes can make all the difference from choosing a natural mattress for better insulation to selecting the right duvet with a high top rating. Layering your bedding, adding woolly socks, and using a hot water bottle are simple yet effective ways to ensure you stay toasty all night long.
Our friends at Button & Sprung share their expert insight on staying warm when the temperature drops.
Is Your Duvet the Right Tog?
Choosing the right duvet TOG for winter is key to staying cosy without overheating. TOG ratings measure a duvet’s warmth, with higher numbers offering more insulation. For winter, a duvet with a TOG rating between 10.5 and 13.5 is ideal, providing ample warmth for most homes. However, if your bedroom tends to be particularly cold, you might consider a 15 TOG duvet for extra comfort.
Layer Up Your Bedding
Start with a cotton sheet, add your duvet, and top it off with a large, heavy throw —layering like this traps heat more effectively than relying on one bulky blanket. Cold feet can make your whole body feel chilly, so wearing thick wool or cashmere socks to bed ensures warmth from head to toe, helping you stay cosy all night long.
Use a Hot Water Bottle and Wear PJ’s!
A hot water bottle is a simple but effective way to stay warm—just tuck it under your covers before bed, and it will keep you cosy for hours. Pair this with full-length pyjamas made from brushed cotton or flannel; their fuzzy texture traps heat, ensuring you stay warm all night.
