Single Duvet

Childrens duvet covers come in many shapes and sizes, with many emblems on them that range from sports teams logos to a princess off of a Disney movie classic. But what should you really look for besides a glamorous décor stitched between blankets? It is important to note both the material and the amount of warmth (or lack of) a duvet provides.

Silk is by far the best and strongest material to create a suitable duvet cover for anyone and cotton is the second best. If you’re searching for pristine children’s duvet covers that will outlast your child’s tossing and turning, then you should go for 100% cotton. Yet, saying 100% does not say enough about the quality of the cover itself. Threat count is often posted on duvet cover tags to entice the costumer to purchase the cover. What thread count means is the amount of number of horizontal-vertical threads in one square inch of fabric. Put simply, the more thread count the better. A suitable thread count would range from 100-140 while an ideal thread count would go well beyond 180. If you find any thread count that goes over 400—that thread count may be an excessive amount of thread counts which, for all purposes, is impractical.

Also when searching for the right childrens duvet cover keep in mind that the season changes and that there are duvet covers for children who experience night temperatures differently. Most duvets comes with a Tog rating. A Tog rating of 3, for example, means that the duvet will release a significant amount of body heat; ideally, this duvet would be suitable for children who get very hot during those pesky summer nights. A Tog rating of 6.0 would be for the spring and autumn seasons, or for those who get unusually cold during the summer nights. Likewise a Tog rating between 12-13.5 would be for winter nights, where a 12 rating would be for warm houses and 13.5 for cooler houses. Using the Tog rating system you can also double your children’s duvet cover (a 4.5 + 9.0 = 13.5) to dynamically shift your child’s sleeping needs as the seasons roll by.

If you are looking to purchase synthetic childrens duvet covers, remember to keep an eye out for siliconized-filled duvets as they will last longer than synthetic duvets that don’t have it. You will know when to change duvets when your child notes how cold it gets. Fabric break-down will no longer keep your child warm!
