What tog rating for quilts?
Hi
Just spotted that Debenhams Blue Cross sale has started with some good reductions on Fogarty quilts. We're about 6-8months away from starting to let but I am keen to stock up to spread the furnishing load.
Please can I have recommendations for what tog level you go for? Cottage will be let all year round, although we will provide extra blankets in winter so just a good general level for the quilt.
Thank you!
Chrissy

10.5 tog in both Devon and Chester with white covers and a coloured quilted throw that can also be used for extra warmth in the winter.
Both houses are centrally heated, although, ironically, the Chester one is warmer - it's a mid terrace and seems to be quite well insulated so 13.5 would be too warm for most people even in mid winter.
We do also have summer weight ones (about 4 tog I think) that I leave in a duvet bag in the wardrobes so guests can swap if they get too hot in the summer. I don't think they get used very often!

I am in Cornwall too and in our thick granite walled cottage we have 10.5 in the autumn / winter and 4.5 in the late spring / summer. It's worked well in the 4 years we have been renting. I change to the heavy & back to the light around the same time we do at home although I do normally check with all guests around those dates that they are happy with the arrangement. No complaints so far! Good luck
