 Guidelines for Choosing the Perfect Fit

 

  • Understanding Your Mattress: Make sure you get the duvet size just right by measuring your mattress first. Remember, mattress sizes can vary between the UK and US.
  • Account for the Overhang: To achieve a tidy look, consider how much the duvet will drape over the sides of the bed. A typical overhang is about 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) on each side.
  • Matching Bedding Sets: When buying a duvet as part of a set, its size is usually fixed. Always check the manufacturer's specified dimensions in such cases.
  • Selecting the Right Filling: Choose a duvet filling that suits your sleeping habits. Whether you need a more excellent option, hypoallergenic materials, or have a preference between natural duck feathers and synthetic fibers, there's a filling to meet your needs.
  • Personal Comfort Choices: For those who love extra snugness or share a bed with a duvet monopolizer, opting for a slightly larger duvet might be a wise choice.
  • Be Aware of Size Variances Internationally: Keep in mind that UK duvet sizes may not align with sizes from other countries, especially if you're buying a duvet abroad or from an international retailer.
