dumb question about duvets
We;ve decided its time to ditch the sleeping bags and get a duvet for cole. Fine I thought till I started to look at them.
THe quilt sets look all nice but it looks like its a thick quilt which is all one thing and has to be washed as one rather than a seperate duvet and cover. Am I right in thinking this?
Also - what tog duvet does everyone use? The only ones i'd seen were 4 tog but on ebay I've seen 9 tog ones so now I'm lost. I always thought he'd freeze in the 2.5 tog sleeping bag in winter cause I was cosied up in my 15 tog duvet, pj's and 2 fleece blankets and still getting cold but he was fine so I'm really not sure what to put him in.
And... where can you get nice cotbed duvets and covers from that aren't horribly expensive?
kids..its so bloody confusing lol

I bought a Grobag 1st duvet set which is expensive. Everything is attached together and you can zip them into it to stop them falling out of bed. I bought my duvet & pillow off Amazon - I got the Fogarty ones. They are really good.
Most sets I've seen are expensive unfortunately. have you checked on ebay? I would also try and get a cover that's 100% cotton so they dont overheat & sweat in bed.
Check out Bump to 3 website for the Grobag 1st duvet sets.
Never thought of any of those shops people suggested.. i'm so rubbish lol! Thanks for the ideas
minimonkey - cole is 17 months now and we are changing - i think he's sleeping better out of his sleeping bags cause i think he prefers the freedom to move his legs around. course this also means stick his legs out through the cot bed bars but there you go lol.
Tried to look on dunelm site but they have nothing nursery related online
Finally found some nice stuff on ebay though - thanks for the reminder about 100% cotton ccbmommy- definately worth it when cole's room does get hot! Just hope the sellers i've messaged tell me the funky duvet sets are cotton!
Thanks for the replys
Both ebay sellers got back to me to say the duvet covers I liked were poly cotton. I've no idea if that'd be sweaty for him though - anyone used polycotton stuff for their lo?
Mothercare have a nice range but still a bit expensive.
I've seen these on Ikea's website:

IT is not a daft question i nearly lost the will to live when it came to quilts and my son!!!!! LOL
he is 2 in a week and i have managed fine i have a quilt form ikea it comes with a cover and you can buy more they are great however he NEVER keeps them on him cold or not i do wish i had stuck with the sleeping bags for that bit longer he was 18 months when i changed.

happymom..i think i'm losing the will to live too! totally baffled with them now.. looking at ikea ones and i think they are different sizes to normal ones - i'm sure their fitted sheets are sized just for ikea beds. i used to have an ikea bed and could never get sheets to fit! Think the weather is warm enough for now that he's ok with a sheet and poss a blanket when it gets bit colder - which means I can put off the duvet problem for a little while longer! Much prefer sleeping bags but even the 12-36 month ones he's running out of space in and i think thats whats disturbing him at night. so glad its not just me!!
