Choosing a duvet seems simple… until you find yourself faced with a jungle of dimensions: 140x200, 200x200, 220x240, 240x260… And that’s without counting the bed sizes themselves (90x190, 160x200, 180x200…) which vary from one country to another.
At Lanado , we manufacture natural wool duvets in several sizes, adapted to different standard beds in Belgium, France, and Europe. Our mission: to help you choose the right duvet size for optimal comfort, a perfect drape, and draft-free nights.
Ready to see things clearly? Follow the guide.
Why is the size of the duvet so important?
A duvet that's too small, and you'll spend the night pulling it towards you.
A duvet that is too big, and you risk getting too hot… or having difficulty fitting it into your cover.
🛌 The right size is the one that offers:
-
Sufficient overhang on the sides and at the foot of the bed
-
Good thermal insulation
-
An aesthetic and practical balance
👉 All this without excess fabric or a “sleeping bag” effect.
Size chart: bed sizes & duvet sizes
Here is a clear table to help you choose the right duvet for your bed :
| 🛏️ Bed size | 📏 Recommended duvet size | ✅ Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 90x190 / 90x200 cm | 140x200 cm | For 1 person – 25 cm drop on each side |
| 120x190 / 120x200 cm | 200x200 cm | 1.5-person bed – for added comfort |
| 140x190 / 140x200 cm | 220x240 cm | Standard double bed – the most popular |
| 160x200 cm (Queen) | 240x260 cm | Offers a nice drop on the sides |
| 180x200 cm (King) | 260x240 cm (or custom-made at Lanado) | For a very wide bed or two very mobile sleepers |
| Child's bed (70x140) | 100x140 cm (on request) | Custom-made specific format |
💡 At Lanado , all our duvets are handmade. Therefore, you can request a custom-made duvet if you have a bed with unusual dimensions.
What is the ideal overhang on the sides?
The ideal fallout depends on several factors:
-
Your sleeping habits : do you sleep alone or with a partner?
-
The height of the mattress + bed base
-
The desired style (more cozy or more fitted)
Here is a simple rule:
👉 Allow at least 30 to 40 cm of overhang on each side of the bed for optimal thermal comfort.
Example :
For a 140x200 cm bed:
-
A 200x200 cm duvet = 30 cm overhang on each side → suitable
-
A 220x240 cm duvet = generous drape → ideal for winter or for two people
And for a couple: do you need one duvet or two?
That's a genuine question!
In Belgium or Germany, it is common to use two small individual duvets (e.g., 140x200 cm each) for a double bed. This allows each person to have their own thermal zone .
At Lanado , we recommend:
-
A large duvet , at least 220x240 cm, if you sleep two people.
-
A 240x260 cm size is suitable for a Queen/King bed, especially if you move around a lot.
💬 If you're sensitive to the cold and your partner isn't, you can also opt for:
-
A warmer duvet for a
-
A lighter duvet for the other
And everyone sleeps at their own temperature!
What size duvet cover should I choose?
Simple: your duvet cover should be the same size as the duvet itself .
| 🧺 Duvet | 🧼 Cover to choose from |
|---|---|
| 140x200 cm | 140x200 cm |
| 200x200 cm | 200x200 cm |
| 220x240 cm | 220x240 cm |
| 240x260 cm | 240x260 cm |
⚠️ Avoid oversized covers that create uncomfortable "air pockets".
A good, well-fitting cover helps the duvet stay in place .
What if I want a custom size?
Good news: at Lanado, it's possible.
You have :
-
A round bed?
-
An oversized mattress?
