King size duvet on double bed - worth it?

95 replies

Bit random but I heard using a king size duvet on a double bed is a “game changer”. Is this true?

I don’t know whether it’s worth it to the extent of having to replace all my double size duvet covers…

Definitely worth it. No getting cold at night anymore when H rolls over in bed and takes the duvet with him, and super warm when he's on nights and I'm sleeping on my own. I wish we'd bought one sooner

Yes! I have a super king duvet on a king bed.

AlteredStater · 28/01/2025 18:10

Yep, definitely a game-changer. No more 'you've got all the duvet!' comments. Plenty to spare.

Assuming two in a bed: yes!! Otherwise there's never enough duvet. Genuinely couldn't go back to a double size duvet unless it's summer.

Frostine · 28/01/2025 18:11

Yes . 100%

jumperround · 28/01/2025 18:12

the only annoying thing is as it is heavier it is easier for it to be pulled over and hang off the edge leaving one person cold!

poemsandwine · 28/01/2025 18:12

Two single duvets on a super king is what I do, and I will never go back.

Always put a larger duvet on a bed, double on a single, king on a double and so on. Makes all the difference and makes for happier sleepers.

DH and I spent the night wrestling a duvet recently a double duvet on a double bed didn't work at all!

Keep the double duvet for the summer when a leg hanging out is nice and cooling!

But yes, I always have a duvet one size bigger than the bed.

ElderLemon · 28/01/2025 18:13

Two single duvets is the real game changer

Notateacheranymore · 28/01/2025 18:14

Been married 27 years, ALWAYS had a KS duvet. Really struggle if we go away and the duvet size matches the bed, unless Super KS. But we are also both of a rather cuddly build!!!

JC03745 · 28/01/2025 18:15

Yes, I've always done this and sized up. If I roll over, I have extra duvet to stick some between be knees and when I roll the other way- my back isn't exposed and cold.

Another option can be you each have a duvet to yourself!

Single or double duvet each. Way forward. We have singles in the summer and doubles in the winter.

Onelifeonly · 28/01/2025 18:19

Yes it's great. Had one for years.

Yes! I have a super king duvet on a king bed.

Me too. It's wonderful.

Onelifeonly · 28/01/2025 18:20

We have KS for winter and normal, thinner double for summer but use KS covers for all.

ladymalfoy45 · 28/01/2025 18:21

Yes.

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 28/01/2025 19:24

Definitely! I've got a super king duvet on a king bed, wouldn't change a thing, especially as dd is a blanket hogger

MJconfessions · 29/01/2025 18:07

Seems unanimous then!

This is the best solution, no ‘rolling over and taking all the duvet’ problems.

FiveGoMadInDorset · 29/01/2025 18:12

Absolutely, plus it’s only me in the bed except a cat

Game0fCrones · 29/01/2025 18:14

Yes. It looks far better and it's warmer.

kiana2015 · 29/01/2025 18:14

Do it!

I agree. I like the duvet tucked under me both sides so one each is the only fair solution!
