Gusty winds and frosty mornings autumn winter. The wonderful cycle of the year that I love so much, Vivaldi’s four seasons encapsulates it perfectly with his musical crescendo and speeding tempos.Spring the rebirth of the world, our windows open and beckon life to start its merry tune. All flowers blossoming, suns rays slowly hesitantly showing between clouds that ride the sky.The summer brings with it anticipation of fresh breezes, sticky humid days, memories of warm hazy evenings of slow sunsets. Autumn trees baring their branches, leaves; slowly hitting the ground, scarf's being pulled out hidden away coats and jackets brought down.

Walking the crisp air surrounding me, pushing the mountains of leaves, everything looks different.Shorter days longer nights the winter cold brings with it feelings of hibernation, nesting staying home, close to familiar things. Snuggled up and cosy, warmed by home and hearth. Keeping these fuzzy memories of hot soup and delicious toasted sandwiches, under the thick feathered quilt. Fluffy quilts are so forgiving, they allow you to forget worries or feeling sad they just encase and embrace you.

WHAT IS TOG RATING?

The higher the tog rating the warmer, the quilt.In the summer months you would find a 4.5 tog feather quilt sufficient for those occasioning light chills or just simple cozy lie inns. As the temperatures drop the tog rating should rise to suit.In the spring a 9 tog would work, it supplies efficient warmth without stifling. You can even buy a quilt made up of two parts "all seasons" that can be separated and used in the summer(4.5 tog)and in the spring the 9 tog and then in the winter both combined to create the 13.5 tog rating Still overwhelmingly popular is 13.5 tog its advantages are its possible all year round use.There are those that do not have adequate heating and truly freeze in the winter for them I recommend a 15 tog quilt that is for those that simply can’t get warm enough.The quilt was one of the serious investments families made that lasted throughout their lives.

IS WEIGHT AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN A QUILT?

The duvets of yesteryear were so heavy and casings weighed so much, that if it slipped at night the easier option would be to "unite on the floor." Casings have improved massively. Jacquard cotton casing with pocketed construction with a variety of edges gives us versatility. There are still those who prefer a heavy quilt but then they purchase duck feather as that is the heaviest not necessarily the best. Experience has taught us, weight is not the deciding factor on warmth, but the quality of the feather. Instead they are lighter but they provide superior warmth.
