What size duvet should I choose?
The size of your duvet is an essential element to consider to ensure your comfort during sleep. Here are some tips to help you choose the ideal duvet size:
-
For a single bed (90 cm x 190 cm):
A 140cm x 200cm duvet is generally recommended. It perfectly covers the sleeping surface, leaving 30cm of down on either side of the mattress. However, if you move around a lot during your sleep, a 200cm x 200cm duvet may be more suitable to ensure adequate coverage throughout the night. -
For a double bed (140 cm x 190 cm):
A 200cm x 200cm duvet is often preferred. It offers a 55cm drop on each side of the bed, giving your bed more fullness. - For a queen-size bed (160 cm x 200 cm): The recommended duvet size is 220 cm x 240 cm. However, if you prefer a better fit, you can opt for a slightly larger duvet: 240 cm x 260 cm.
- For a king size bed (180 cm x 200 cm): A duvet measuring 260 cm x 240 cm is generally recommended to ensure optimal coverage.
Baby duvet sizes
Around the age of 2, a baby can swap their sleeping bag for a small child's duvet adapted to the dimensions of their mattress. For example, for a bed measuring 60 x 120 cm (the most common mattress size for a child under 3 years old), you should preferably choose a duvet measuring 80 x 120 cm.
