Luxury Bamboo Comforter Sizes
Choosing the right comforter size is the difference between a beautifully made bed and one that looks underdressed on the sides. Use this UK comforter size guide to choose the best size, coverage, and drape for your bedroom.
All Bamboo Haven comforters are made to standard UK sizes with a lightweight microfibre fill and a smooth bamboo cover for a luxurious, breathable finish.
Comforter Size Chart
| Size | Centimetres CM | Inches IN | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 135 cm × 200 cm | 4'5" × 6'7" | Children, single beds, guest rooms |
| Double | 200 cm × 200 cm | 6'7" × 6'7" | Couples in smaller bedrooms, single sleepers who like extra coverage |
| King | 230 cm × 220 cm | 7'7" × 7'3" | Couples wanting more room and overhang |
| Super King | 260 cm × 220 cm | 8'6" × 7'3" | Larger master bedrooms, couples who share with kids or pets |
Each size matches a standard UK bed. Choose your bed size for a neat fit, or size up by one if you prefer a fuller, more luxurious drape.
How To Choose The Right Comforter Size
Match Your Bed Size
The most common approach is to choose a comforter size that matches your bed, such as a king comforter for a king bed or a double comforter for a double bed.
Size Up For More Drape
If you prefer a more generous hotel-style look, size up by one. A king comforter on a double bed creates extra overhang and a fuller finish.
Think About Sharing
If you share with a partner, children, or pets, sizing up can give better coverage on both sides and reduce cover-stealing through the night.
Consider Bedroom Style
A larger comforter creates a more luxurious focal point, especially in master bedrooms and guest rooms where the bed sets the tone.
