What is the TOG Warmth Scale Rating For Bedding?

Bedding sold in Europe uses a warmth scale that measures the ability to keep you warm. It is a simplified system that allows easier warmth comparisons regardless of filling material, fabric, thickness, etc.

In the United States we typically do not see a TOG system used although it does have it’s merits. At DOWNLITE we simplify our bedding’s warmth levels with a ‘Warm’, ‘Warmer’ and ‘Warmest’ rating system.
Typical TOG’s and our equivalent warmth ratings are shown here:

• TOG 3.0 to 4.5 ~ Warm
• TOG 7.0 to 10.5 ~ Warmer
• TOG 12.0 to 13.5 ~ Warmest

Admittedly it can be confusing for the average consumer to know the difference in warmth’s for the various things which affect warmth in a comforter including:

Just like the European TOG system – our goal is to allow down bedding to be purchased easily and with confidence. Don’t guess on your bedding needs – call a product specialist @ DOWNLITE to help find the right warm comforter for you (1-866-931-3696).
