What Size is a Single Duvet?


Single duvets measure 135cm by 200cm or approximately 53 inches by 78 inches. Our single duvet cover sets come with a single pillowcase, however you can purchase extra pillowcases separately.

Single duvets are of course a lot smaller than other duvet sizes available, making them ideal for children’s beds. They are easy to roll up and store away too, so they can be used for temporary beds when family come to stay.

UK Duvet Sizes

In the UK, duvet sizes match the size of usual bed sizes. They’re made slightly larger than the mattress to hang comfortably over the edge. It makes it simple to choose the size for a bed, i.e., a single duvet will fit a single mattress. See sizes below:

UK Duvet Cover Sizes

Duvet covers are slightly larger than the mattress and duvets they pair with. They accommodate the fill of the duvet, but keep a snug fit.

When you buy a duvet set, single sizes will come with one pillowcase, while double and up will come with two.

Duvet Fillings

We offer duvets with a range of fillings

Down

Down duvets are filled with the soft feathers from the underside of ducks or geese. These duvets are the most expensive, and can last up to twice as long as duvets with synthetic fillings. They are not hypoallergenic, so unsuitable for people with sensitivities.

Feather

This filling is made up of the outer feathers of ducks and geese, from back or wings. Luxuriously weighty, and favoured by many, they should be aired on the washing line from time to time and need professional laundering.

Synthetic

Generally lower in price than feather-filled duvets, synthetic duvets are made from polyester. Ideal for allergy sufferers, they can be washed and dried at home or at the launderette. Polyester is not as breathable as natural materials, so might not be comfortable if you have night sweats.

Microfibre

Usually more affordable than other duvets, microfibre duvets are also warm and super lightweight. The fibres are woven together in such a way that warmth is held in without the weight of down or feathers. However, they are less durable, and as they’re highly absorbent can be prone to staining.

Our microfibre duvet range is designed with a peached finish so it doesn't need a cover. Used with a topsheet, they can be used like a vintage eiderdown and come in a range of colours

How often should a duvet be replaced?

A duvet should be replaced every 2 to 5 years, and there are are ways to extend the life. Aim to wash your duvet every few months to keep it in good condition.
