Changing to heavier bedding

Short answer: Change when the nights fall below ten degrees and the bedroom no longer holds its warmth. In Denmark that is typically October.

The order

Change the duvet first and wait a week before changing the cover. Then you notice what each change does, and you avoid going from too cold to too warm in one night.

The duvet

A winter duvet of eight hundred grams or more holds the warmth. Choose by how cold the bedroom actually is, not by habit. See bamboo bedding.

The cover

A bamboo cover handles the moisture that builds up under a heavy duvet, so it does not turn clammy in the middle of the night. See bamboo sheets and bamboo fitted sheets.

Frequently asked questions

Should you change the pillow too

Not for temperature reasons. The pillow is replaced when it is worn out.

What if you get too warm

Change back to a mid weight duvet. It is not one or the other.

When is it too late

If you wake up cold, the change should have happened sooner.
