Duvets / Duvet Covers... Go for a perfect fit.

There is nothing worse than a duvet too big for the duvet cover that doesn't fit properly or a duvet cover that is oversized on the duvet. As with all bedding the best way is to give your duvet / duvet cover a quick measure to establish what you have and what you need.

Below is a run down of duvets and sizes, it is best to buy your duvet / 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 Duvet / Single Duvet Cover Size - 54" x 78" (137cm x 198cm)

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 Duvet / Small Double Duvet Cover Size - 67" x 86" (170cm x 220cm)

We have really created this size through demand and based it on an oversized Single duvet as they use in Europe.  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. So basically when a Single duvet is too small and a Double duvet is too big, the Small Double duvet is the answer.
