The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect Duvet Size for Your Bed
Are you tired of struggling to find the perfect duvet size for your bed? Look no further! Choosing the right duvet size can make all the difference in a comfortable and cozy sleeping experience. In this guide, we’ll break down the simple steps to select the ideal duvet size for your bed, and even provide a handy table to make it easy peasy!
Step 1: Measure Your Bed
Before we dive into duvet sizes, take a moment to measure your bed. You’ll need to know the length and width to ensure the perfect fit. Don’t worry, it’s a quick and easy task!
Step 2: Consider the Duvet Size
When it comes to duvet sizes, you’ll want to choose one that’s slightly larger than your bed. This allows for a comfortable fit and prevents the duvet from slipping off during the night. As a general rule of thumb, add 40-60 cm (16-24 inches) to the width and 20-30 (8-12 Inch) of the length of your bed to determine the ideal duvet size.
The Magic Formula:
Duvet Size = Bed Size + 20-30 cm (8-12 in) each side.

Why Bigger is Better (But Not Too Big!)
When it comes to duvet size, a little extra room is a good thing. A duvet that’s too small can leave you feeling chilly and uncomfortable, while one that’s too large can be overwhelming. Aim for a duvet that’s 20-30 cm (8-12 inches) larger than each side of your bed to strike the perfect balance.
