A duvet to enjoy together
One half’s warm.. the other cool
COUPLES fearing a tog of war as the weather heats up could make peace with this innovative duvet.
The Made For You Two bedcovering is rated a cool 4.5 tog on one half and a toastier 10.5 on the other.
And according to Aldi, which is stocking the duvet, it will prevent squabbles caused by one bedmate being warmer at night than the other.
It was launched after a survey found a third of couples row over the bedroom temperature at night.
The Made For You Two is already flying off shelves, as couples who have put up with the wrong weight of duvet for years hailed it the Holy Grail of bedding. Many took to Aldi’s website to give their seal of approval.
One shopper posted: “What a great idea – after 55 years of marriage at last found a duvet to suit us both.
Well done Aldi. I feel the cold so like a nice toasty duvet. My husband gets too hot so the 4 tog is great for him.”
Another said: “This made for two is great so I can have a lighter tog and my husband likes a heavier tog.” And another well-rested buyer wrote: “Bought this ready for the onset of spring/summer when one of us still wants the glorious warmth of 10 tog and the other sleeps on top of the covers. Let marital harmony go on!”
Couples can now splash out £24.99 for a double duvet or £29.99 for the king-size version, both manufactured by bedding brand Slumberdown.
Aldi said the product had been launched “in response to Brits’ on-going troubles in the bedroom”.
A spokesman for the supermarket added: “The duvet for two provides a much-needed sleep at an affordable price – perfect for couples who spend their nights hogging the duvet or chucking the covers off.”
ALDI is selling a half-and-half duvet for couples who can never agree on the right thickness of their bed cover.
But when they first heard the idea, bosses blew hot and cold and had to sleep on it.
