Jasmine Silk are based in Ascot, England with their parent company based in China. They are well known for their high quality mulberry silk. In fact they only use Grade A long strand mulberry silk so softness is guaranteed.
In this article we look at what duvets they have to offer and why you should consider buying one for your own home.
Their silk-filled duvets are made with over one hundred layers of hand-stretched silk. They are naturally warm in winter and cool in summer. They offer several types of duvet including a combination silk duvet with one summer and one all season duvet.
That way you can use them individually in the warmer months or fasten them together for the ultimate in warmth in the depths of winter.
Their silk products are easy to care for and their silk sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers are all machine washable.
Just below we have completed a review of each duvet and explained the key differences between them.
The good news is that making your choice is for once relatively simple. Silk Jasmine do a 4 Tog rating, a 9 Tog rating and a 13 Tog combination.
The 4 Tog rating is suitable for the hotter Summer months in the UK
The 9 Tog rating is classed as an all season duvet
Their 13 Tog is simply a combination of a 4 Tog and a 9 Tog for really cold nights.
They make these for all of the different bed sizes.
What are TOG ratings?
TOG refers to the warmth of your duvet. The higher the TOG rating the warmer the duvet will be. TOG ratings range from 1-15, however in the UK the lightest available is 4.0 and the heaviest is 13.5 TOG.
Tog Rating | When to Use |
|---|---|
4/4.5 | A lightweight duvet to be used in the Summer months and keeps you warm without overheating |
7.5 | This is also a lightweight duvet suitable for Spring and Summer for those who prefer a slightly heavier duvet without overheating |
9-10.5 | This is a very popular choice for all year round use and saves you having to buy a separate summer and winter duvet. A throw or blanket can be added on particularly cold nights |
13-13.5 | This is a Winter TOG duvet for the colder months |
For comfortable sleeping a bedroom should be between 18-21 degrees Celsius at night. If this is the case then a 9 to 10.5 TOG rate duvet is ideal all year around.
