How to choose the perfect size for a comfortable sleep

Have you ever bought a duvet and realized it was too short, too wide, or simply didn't fit your bedding? Choosing the right duvet size is key to a comfortable and undisturbed sleep, and in Europe we have our own standard measurements that are slightly different from, say, the American ones.

That's why we've prepared this guide to help you easily choose the ideal duvet for your bed, regardless of whether you sleep alone or share a bed.

Why is the size of the duvet important?

The right duvet not only fits your bed perfectly and complements it aesthetically, but also ensures that you are fully covered throughout the night. No more "fighting" for the duvet with your partner or exposed feet sticking out! Also, the right size makes it easier to adjust and use the bedding, which contributes to a tidy bedroom.

Our size guide:

In Europe, duvet dimensions are most often expressed in centimeters (cm), and standard sizes are adapted to common mattress dimensions. Here is an overview of the most common:

1. Single duvet (Single)

● Standard dimensions: 140 - 150 x 200 cm

● Who it's ideal for: This is the perfect size for single beds (often 90x200 cm or 100x200 cm), children's rooms, or for people who prefer to sleep alone and want to be completely wrapped in their duvet. It offers enough space to move freely and ensures that the duvet will not hang too much over the edges of the bed. You can find the larger of these two dimensions, 150x200 cm, made of pure camel wool , for your complete comfort.

2. French Size Duvet

● Standard dimensions: 200 x 200 cm

● Who it's ideal for: This duvet is becoming increasingly popular for smaller double beds (e.g. 140x200 cm) or for couples who don't fight over the duvet, but prefer one, shared duvet. It offers comfort and relatively sufficient width for both people. Our recommendation is, however, a slightly larger duvet, like the next one on the list.

3. Double duvet (Double)

● Standard dimensions: 200 x 220 or 230 cm

● Who it's ideal for: A double duvet is the standard choice for medium-sized double beds (usually 160x200 cm or 180x200 cm). The length of 230 cm ensures that even tall people can be fully covered, while the width of 200 cm offers enough space for both, minimizing the "fight for the duvet". You can find the larger of these two dimensions, 230x200 cm, made of pure camel wool with us. , for your complete comfort.

4. King Size Duvet

● Standard dimensions: 240 x 220 cm

● Who it's ideal for: This is a luxurious choice for larger double beds (e.g. 180x200 cm, 200x200 cm, and even 200x220 cm). It offers maximum comfort and plenty of room to move, ensuring that no one will be discovered, no matter how much you toss and turn during the night. It's ideal for couples who want the ultimate in comfort and spaciousness. With us you can find a 220x240 cm duvet made of pure camel wool , for those who appreciate true luxury.

Additional tips for choosing the perfect size

● Always measure your bed: Before buying a duvet, measure the dimensions of your mattress. Keep in mind that the duvet should be larger than the mattress to cover the edges and provide enough coverage.
● Consider the height of your mattress: If you have a very high mattress (e.g., a topper or an American-style mattress, which is increasingly popular here), you may want a duvet that is slightly wider or longer than standard, to provide enough coverage on the sides of the bed.
● Sleeping habits: If you and/or your partner move a lot during sleep, a larger duvet (like a double or king size) can prevent one of you from being exposed.
