As warmer nights firmly take hold, many shoppers are ditching heavier bedding in favour of lighter summer alternatives designed to feel cooler and more breathable. One item generating a buzz is the Dunelm Fogarty Temperature Balance 4.5 Tog Summer Duvet, which has been praised by customers seeking a more restful night’s sleep during hot spells — and it’s currently available with 20% off.
The single size is priced at £25.60 (down from £32), the double at £28.80 (was £36), the king at £33.60 (originally £42), while the super king retails at £36.80 (reduced from £46). Boasting a lightweight 4.5 tog rating, the duvet is crafted with a polyester hollowfibre filling engineered to retain just the right level of warmth without feeling overly heavy.
The ultra-light construction makes it especially well-suited to summer nights or those who naturally sleep warm. It also features a Hydrocool treated microfibre cover, designed to assist with temperature regulation and draw moisture away overnight for a cooler, fresher feeling in bed.

The Fogarty Temperature Balance 4.5 Tog Summer Duvet has earned glowing feedback from buyers, with one five-star review stating: “Great light duvet for keeping cool at night time. I would highly recommend this duvet as it is nice and lightweight and is perfect for keeping cool during hot summer nights. So light that it can be turned down or kicked off with ease, if needed.”
Another shopper commented: “Although this duvet feels quite lightweight and thin, it is proving to be surprisingly cosy. I am not getting too hot or too cold, so far it has been very good on both hot nights and cooler nights.”
A third customer simply declared: “Love it! Comfortable, lightweight and temperature great throughout the night.”

However, it’s important to mention that one reviewer felt the duvet was excessively thick, explaining: “I bought it as it was 4.5 tog and temperature controlled. I thought it would be ideal for spring, summer and fall. I had a shock at how thick it was and it was far too warm on the first night of use… I have put it away for the winter.”
In contrast, another shopper gave the Fogarty Temperature Balance 4.5 Tog Summer Duvet a five-star rating and commented: “Nice and light. Lovely double duvet. Perfect for the warmer weather.”
