Duvets: Size guide

Finding your way through the jungle of duvet sizes is not easy at all. It's not just about personal needs and preferences: duvet sizes vary depending on countries, regions, and often manufacturers.


 

What is the right duvet size for your bed?

What matters is feeling good under the duvet and choosing the right size for your needs: when it's too small, it doesn't wrap the body properly and can disturb your sleep; when it's too large, it becomes heavy and difficult to manage.

In general, duvet sizes should match the size of your bed as well as your height and build. Additionally, consider your personal sleeping habits: for example, if you move a lot during sleep, a slightly larger duvet may be preferable.

DaunenStep offers a full range of duvets in various sizes, dimensions, materials, and warmth levels. Here, you can find information about the available sizes and how they meet different needs:

Caring for your duvet

To maintain the quality and characteristics of your duvet over time, it's essential to follow proper care practices. Here are some helpful tips:

  • Washing: Always follow the instructions on the label. Generally, duvets can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at a low temperature.
  • Drying: Opt for natural drying, leaving the duvet in a well-ventilated place.
  • Aeration: Regularly air out the duvet to maintain freshness and prevent moisture buildup.
