Which Duvet Size Guide?

A guide to choosing the right fit for your bedding.

Too big or too small, there is nothing worse than a duvet that doesn't fit your cover. As with all bedding the best way achieve a perfect fit is to measure your duvet and your duvet cover in order to establish what you have and what you need.

Below is a helpful round-up of the most common duvet sizes, along with a brief description for each. It is best to buy your duvet and duvet cover the same size as even though they
are described as the exact same measurement the covers are made to fit the duvets.

The most common problem customers seem to have is
using the duvet the wrong way on the larger sizes, the King, Super King and
Emperor / Large Emperor where the width is wider than the length.

Standard UK Single Duvet54" x 78" (135cm x 200cm)

A UK Single duvet has never been the most generous size of duvet for the 3ft wide bed, but still very popular and used alot now on the smaller 2ft 6" wide beds. Sometimes manufacturers may describe a single duvet / duvet cover measurements as 135 x 198cm or 137 x 200cm but it is still a single duvet.

Small Double Duvet67" x 86" (170cm x 220cm)

A small double duvet is 8" (20cm) longer than a standard single or double duvet, so great also for the longer 6ft 6" (200cm) beds. It is also 12" (30cm) wider than a Single duvet, but 12" (30cm) smaller in width than a Double duvet. When a single duvet is too small and a double duvet is too big, the small double duvet is the answer.

The original square duvet size and still as popular as ever for the 4ft 6" wide double bed. This size can be used on a small double 4ft wide bed if you don't mind it a little oversized.

UK King Size Duvet90" x 86" (230cm x 220cm)

A king size duvet is slightly wider than its length and often confused with a double duvet as it looks square. The King is most commonly used on a 5ft King bed, but we find customers quite often are using a king on a double bed.
