Problems - neither of us like fully synthetic and wife doesn't want pure cotton, too hard to dry and needs ironing. (Fair enough, she does those tasks). My wife likes our 4.5TOG duvet but I would prefer something warmer.



Fitted sheet - easy - polycotton white.
Duvet - we both like the idea of down so have gone for a dual TOG duck down where she gets 4.5TOG and I get 9TOG. Goose down would be nicer but costs double. A John Lewis eiderdown was somewhat out of our budget.


It's the cover that is harder. The designs and colours I like are all in pure cotton or microfibre or not available in the right size or far too expensive. My wife has designs she likes but most I don't. I want bright colours she more green focus. Fortunately neither of us like "pretty" floral patterns.

Have a look at either a wool or linen duvet we have a 4.5tog linen duvet and it keeps us cool in the summer and during the winter it keeps me that warm I need the ceiling fan on.

Similarly try a French linen duvet cover
