Choosing the Right Duvet for Ultimate Comfort
The foundation of a good night’s sleep starts with the right duvet. Whether you’re upgrading your bedding, investing in new bedding or simply curious about a duvet size, the perfect duvet guarantees both a cosy embrace and a touch of luxury. At Lost Loom, we know that choosing the right size makes all the difference in creating a cosy, luxurious sleeping experience.
Understanding UK Duvet Sizes
Duvet sizes, while seemingly standard, can show subtle variations across regions and even among different manufacturers. To ensure the perfect fit, it’s important to understand the standard sizing conventions used in the UK. The most common UK duvet measurements are as follows:
| Duvet Size | Typical UK Dimensions (cm) | Typical UK Dimensions (inches) |
|---|---|---|
| Single | W140cm x L200cm | W55" x L79" |
| Double | W200cm x L200cm | W79" x L79" |
| King | W225cm x L220cm | W89" x L87" |
| Super King | W260cm x L220cm | W102" x L87" |
You’ll notice that duvet sizes are slightly larger than the corresponding mattress size. This allows for a comfortable overhang, ensuring full coverage and preventing cold drafts during the night. A well-fitted duvet also invites you to wrap yourself in its luxurious softness for a truly cosy and restful night. Our lightweight, naturally breathable, and luxuriously soft Bamboo Duvet is available in these standard UK sizes, making it the perfect choice for any bed.
Matching Duvet Sizes to UK Bed Sizes
Choosing the right duvet means ensuring it fits your bed perfectly. Here’s how duvet sizes pair with standard UK bed sizes:
| UK Bed Size | Recommended Duvet Size |
|---|---|
| Single (90cm x 190cm) | Single Duvet (140cm x 200cm) |
| Small Double (120cm x 190cm) | Double Duvet (200cm x 200cm) |
| Double (135cm x 190cm) | Double Duvet (200cm x 200cm) |
| King (150cm x 200cm) | King Duvet (225cm x 220cm) |
| Super King (180cm x 200cm) | Super King Duvet (260cm x 220cm) |
💡 Upsizing Tip: If you share your bed and want to avoid midnight duvet battles, consider sizing up - for example, using a king-size duvet on a double bed for extra coverage.
Why Duvet Size Matters
Achieving the ideal sleep environment relies on the correct duvet dimensions. Picking the wrong one can lead to poor sleep quality and leave you feeling less than fully rested. A duvet that’s too small can leave cold spots, while one that’s too large may feel too heavy and drape awkwardly over the edges.
If you tend to move a lot in your sleep or share your bed with a partner, consider sizing up to ensure both of you stay comfortable throughout the night.
Preventing Duvet Movement Inside the Cover
A common frustration with duvets is how they shift inside the duvet cover, leading to uneven distribution of filling and an uncomfortable sleep. This happens when the duvet and cover don’t stay aligned, often leaving one side annoyingly bunched up while the other side feels empty.
At Lost Loom, we’ve solved this problem by designing our duvet covers with corner ties and our duvets with hoops on each corner. These unique features allow you to secure the duvet inside the cover, preventing movement and ensuring an even distribution of warmth throughout the night. No more waking up to adjust your duvet, just uninterrupted, cosy sleep.
