AIBU to have a king size duvet on a SuperKing bed?

[WhereDoesThisToiletGo]

Have ordered a Superking bed to replace our king size.
The kingsize bed is going to go in our spare room instead of the double that is currently there.

Can I get away with continuing to use the existing king size duvet and covers?
Ditto just use the double duvet on the king size bed?

No

It’s really your own choice , seems odd to ask for people’s views

You could, but I'd be kind of weird. The point of a superking is to have more space, but you've not got enough duvet to cover it using a king.

I always go 'one size up' the other way - double bed has a king size duvet, king size bed has a superking duvet. I've never had room for a superking size bed to decide what I'd use then (but probably two doubles)

We had our SKS for a number of years before we bought a bigger duvet, and started with only one set of covers for it!

You do need bigger sheets though .

We always sized up. We have a super king and wish we could get an even bigger quilt. Can’t understand why you’d have smaller but it’s personal choice!

No, you'd constantly be battling to get it to cover you.

You could but it’s going to be skimpy and you won’t have much spare overhang at the sides.

I'd say no, unless you're sleeping alone, then you might be okay. I'm a lone sleeper in a SKS bed, and it's good for making oneself into a sausage roll type arrangement.

I’m not a jealous person but I’m unbelievably envious of this

We have such different duvet requirements that on our SKS bed we have..

Kingsize thin duvet (me)
Kingsize mega heavy feather duvet (me)
Double thin duvet (him)
Double thick duvet folded into quarters on my feet (lurcher, sleeps between the layers like a lurcher pasty).
Fleecey throw to put over saluki so she knows its night time, as she has brain of budgie.

Now that we have our own duvets and I can roll up in mine like a human sausage roll and he can sprawl with his round his middle, everyones happy!

We have and it's more than enough covers. It overhangs both sides of the bed.

Even better... Get a set of covers each like they do in some continental countries. Far better than wresting with oversized duvets.

No to the king size.

Two singles works well though. Much better imo than a sks.

this may be one of the most dreadful things I have ever read on here.

kingsize duvet on a superkingsize bed.

No. Too small.

I have it the other way around. King mattress and super king duvet.

The other option is keeping the king size duvet on the king size bed when it moves to the spare room (duvet cover is totally the wrong colour but never mind), then using us having a double on the mega bed.
I've got 2 very nice double duvets that will be surplus to requirements...

I guess it depends how close you like to sleep. If you each like a gap in the middle so you can spread then the duvet will be too small.

My preference would be 2 duvets on the super king, not one smaller duvet. I couldn't bear that.

@WiddlinDiddlin I laughed when I read "Fleecey throw to put over saluki so she knows its night time, as she has brain of budgie" as my own dog will only settle and sleep when he is completely covered up and I thought I was the only one who had a weird dog!

As for your cover situation @where I guess it comes down to personal preference, but I've always had to go a size up with duvets, because otherwise its a continuous game of who has more covers during the night.

Just why.

Duvets aren’t that expensive and last ages it looked after

This is what we have - we were bought a new king size duvet right before deciding to get a super king size bed and couldn't afford to replace it.

It's been fine though, it overhangs both sides no problem, just not as much as it would on the right sized bed. Plus duvet covers aren't as expensive!

Noooo. You will be cold and look ridiculous

We have a super king bed and a double duvet each. Saved our marriage, if I'm being honest

We have a king size bed and two duvets - one super king (for me who likes to become a sausage roll!) and a double for DH who likes a light single layer!

We have a KS quilt on a SKS bed and have no problems. (And I can't bear to be touched when im asleep so we don't sleep anywhere near each other!!!)
