Choosing the right duvet size for your bed: size guide

Choosing the right size duvet directly impacts your nighttime comfort. An incorrectly sized duvet can ruin the quality of your sleep, even if it's excellent. Here's how to determine the ideal size for your bedding.

Standard dimensions and their correspondences

For a single bed (90x190cm), the ideal 4-season duvet measures 140x200cm, like the ZenPur model. This dimension offers an overhang of 25cm on each side, enough to wrap yourself up well without excess fabric. For a 140x190cm bed, opt for 220x240cm. A queen-size bed (160x200cm) requires 240x260cm, while a king-size bed (180x200cm) requires 260x280cm. These proportions guarantee an elegant drape and optimal coverage.

The importance of lateral overflow

The overhang, or drop of the lightweight duvet , plays a crucial role in thermal comfort. Insufficient overhang (less than 20cm) will create cold air inlets during nighttime movements. Conversely, excessive overhang (more than 40cm) can hinder movement and create a feeling of confinement. The optimal rule: 20-30cm on each side of the mattress for a perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality.

Adjust the size according to the sleepers

Couples with different sleeping habits sometimes benefit from two individual duvets rather than one large one. This solution, popular in Nordic countries, eliminates "duvet pulling" conflicts. With a modular system like the ZenPur, each partner can even adjust their warmth level independently. For children transitioning from a junior bed to an adult bed, the 140x200cm size remains versatile and accommodates their growth.

Sizing mistakes to avoid

The most common mistake is choosing a duvet that fits the exact mattress dimensions, forgetting the need for overflow. Another pitfall: neglecting the mattress thickness, which influences the actual overflow. A 30cm thick mattress "consumes" part of the duvet's width. Finally, consider your habits: if you move around a lot or sleep in the fetal position, choose a larger size. OEKO-TEX certification and European manufacturing quality guarantee that even if oversized, your duvet will retain its shape and properties.
