When should you switch to a light duvet? I fixed it so you don’t have to
The first day of spring comes on the 20th of March, and the light season is so close, I can almost taste it. Spring brings bright mornings and evenings, and warmer weather throughout the day and night, which means it’s time to rethink your current sleep setup.
In winter, they are crowded duvetswarmer bedding and more blankets are becoming the norm due to colder temperatures and rising heating costs. In the spring, you’ll want something lighter, but since this season tends to swing between unseasonably cold and unseasonably warm, you’ll want to make sure you’re changing your bedding at the right time.
So, when should you switch to a light duvet? As a sleep expert who has been covering this topic on T3 for years, I’ve edited it so it’s not necessary. If we look at last year’s weather statistics, the temperature starts to rise from April, so if I were you, I would switch to a light duvet in the second week of April.

Ideally, you should switch to a light spring / summer duvet when the temperature stays around 15°C at night.

But if you want my advice, I’d recommend buying an all-season, custom-made duvet instead. Let’s face it, not everyone wants to buy a lot of duvets, especially if you don’t have a lot of storage space, so, choose a custom-made duvet that can be used in all seasons.
A customized duvet is one that has buttons or zippers that allow you to add or remove a tog from your duvet – for more information about tog measurements, see duvet size guide. For example, when it’s cold, you can add an extra layer to your duvet to make it thicker, and during the warmer months, you can remove the tog to make it thinner and lighter.
I have a custom made duvet and have used it in all four seasons, and I have never felt more comfortable. I feel bad about controlling my temperature but for all my seasons, a customizable duvet solves that problem for me – so here are three all-season duvets I’d recommend checking out.
