How Bamboo Duvets Are Measured: By Weight, Not Tog

Unlike traditional synthetic or feather duvets, which are usually graded by tog rating, bamboo duvets work differently.

This duvet doesn’t rely on trapping heat — instead, it regulates temperature naturally, allowing airflow and moisture to escape. Because of this, the standard tog measurement doesn’t accurately reflect how warm or comfortable a bamboo duvet feels.

Instead, bamboo duvets are measured by weight per square metre (gsm). This tells you how much fibre fills the duvet, giving a better idea of its feel:

  • Ultra lightweight All season  275gsm: light and breathable, perfect for year-round comfort and hot sleepers

  • Ultra lightweight Winter 350gsm :  warmer, still airy, ideal for cooler nights

Measuring by weight allows you to choose a duvet that matches your comfort needs without relying on tog, giving you precise control over airflow, softness and warmth.

With this system, you can enjoy the luxury of a lightweight bamboo duvet while knowing it will keep you comfortable — no matter the season.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bamboo Duvets :

Is a bamboo duvet good for hot sleepers?

Yes. Our duvet is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, making it ideal for hot sleepers and those who experience night sweats. Unlike synthetic duvets, bamboo fibres allow air to circulate, helping regulate body temperature throughout the night.

Is a bamboo duvet suitable for Ireland’s climate?

Yes. An ultra lightweight bamboo duvet is well suited to Irish homes, where central heating and insulated bedrooms can cause overheating. Its temperature regulating properties make it comfortable for most of the year.

Why doesn’t a bamboo duvet have a tog rating?

Traditional tog ratings measure heat retention in synthetic and feather duvets. Bamboo works differently by regulating temperature rather than trapping heat. For this reason, a tog rating would not accurately reflect how a bamboo duvet performs.

Is a bamboo duvet hypoallergenic?

Yes. Bamboo is naturally gentle on sensitive skin and suitable for allergy-prone sleepers. It resists dust mites and creates a fresher sleep environment compared to many synthetic fillings.

Is a bamboo duvet better than a synthetic duvet?

For many people, yes. Synthetic duvets trap heat to create warmth, which can lead to overheating. Bamboo provides breathable, balanced comfort without heaviness, making it a popular alternative for those seeking cooler sleep.
