Information to choose the right duvet cover size according to bed size
Duvet covers for child’s bed
For a child’s bed, the standard dimensions are often 70 x 140 cm. The duvet cover should perfectly match these dimensions to prevent slipping or being too loose, ensuring optimal comfort for the little ones.
Single bed
For a single bed (90 x 190 cm or 90 x 200 cm), the most common duvet covers measure 140 x 200 cm. This allows a slight fabric surplus on the sides for an aesthetic and comfortable look.
Single XL or Twin XL bed
Single XL beds (100 x 200 cm) require slightly wider covers, such as 150 x 200 cm. These sizes are ideal for teenagers or adults in limited spaces.
Double bed
For classic double beds (140 x 190 cm or 140 x 200 cm), choose a duvet cover of 200 x 200 cm for a snug fit or 240 x 220 cm for more comfort and a looser look.
Queen Size bed
For a Queen Size bed (160 x 200 cm), opt for covers of 220 x 240 cm. This size ensures a perfect fit while offering generous coverage.
Duvet cover for King Size bed
For King Size beds (180 x 200 cm), the ideal dimensions are 240 x 260 cm or 260 x 240 cm. These sizes guarantee that the cover hangs sufficiently on the sides for comfort and an elegant look.
Super King Size bed
For Super King Size beds (200 x 200 cm), the XXL covers measuring 240 x 280 cm or 280 x 240 cm are perfect to cover the bed generously, even with thick mattress toppers.
Twin beds (Twin XL)
Twin beds, often used in guest rooms or hotels, require two separate duvet covers, usually 140 x 200 cm each. If you prefer a single duvet to cover both beds, a 240 x 220 cm cover will fit.
XXL duvet covers for Super King Size beds
For Super King Size beds, the ideal dimensions are 240 x 280 cm or larger. These XXL covers offer a perfect fit while covering the sides of the bed generously, for both an aesthetic and comfortable result. Be sure to measure your mattress to avoid any mistakes, especially if it includes a thick mattress topper.
