How To Choose The Right Duvet Size
Match Your Bed Size
The most common approach is to choose a duvet size that matches your bed, such as a king duvet for a king bed or a double duvet for a double bed.
Size Up For Overhang
Many sleepers size up by one for extra overhang, a fuller hotel-style look, and less duvet-tugging when sharing.
Think About Sleep Style
If you are a restless sleeper, share with a partner, or have kids and pets joining the bed, sizing up gives more comfort and coverage.
Consider Bedroom Aesthetic
A larger duvet creates a fuller, more luxurious finish, making the bed look more styled and inviting.

Should I size up my duvet?
Yes, if you share your bed, are a restless sleeper, or simply prefer a fuller drape. Sizing up by one gives extra coverage and a more generous look.
What tog rating are your duvets?
All Bamboo Haven duvets are made to a 9.5 tog weight, a versatile all-season tog suitable for most UK bedrooms.
Is 9.5 tog warm enough for winter?
For most centrally heated UK homes, yes. A 9.5 tog bamboo duvet provides reliable warmth while bamboo's breathability helps prevent overheating.
Is a UK king duvet the same as a US king duvet?
No. A UK king duvet measures 230 × 220 cm and is similar to a US queen, while a UK super king measures 260 × 220 cm and is closest to a US king.
Will a UK duvet fit a European duvet cover?
Not always. European duvet sizes, including many IKEA ranges, differ from UK sizes. Always match a UK duvet with a UK duvet cover for the best fit.
Can I use a bigger duvet on a smaller bed?
Yes. Many sleepers use a larger duvet on a smaller bed for more overhang and fewer cold gaps. Just make sure your duvet cover matches the duvet size.
