Just that. I like the look of it hanging over the sides. Does anyone have this? Is it too much?

Definitely a good idea IMO! My kids have a double duvet on single beds its loads cosier too

My mother’s one piece of marriage advice was to buy a cover one size bigger than the bed and you’ll never fight over it!

Chasingsquirrels · 30/01/2021 17:02

What other sort would you have 😁.

I had a king size duvet on a double bed, and got a superking size duvet when get got a king size bed.

We have a double bed with a kingsize duvet. Works better than if we'd just had a double in it.

Thedogscollar · 30/01/2021 17:03

No great idea, as pp said no arguing over cover too much on one side.

I have a king size duvet on a double bed. Saves fighting over the duvet in the night lol.

CMOTDibbler · 30/01/2021 17:03

We have a double with a king-size duvet

DP and I have our own duvets - who cares what your bed looks like? Comfort first!

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 30/01/2021 17:04

My friend does this, she likes to sleep really tucked in (aka bedclothes hogging) so needs the extra duvet. I shared a normal double with her in a hotel once and it was Not Fun.

HorseOfPhillipMoss · 30/01/2021 17:04

I used to do this until we got a superking bed and I can't find a duvet or linens big enough to size up. I like to be snuggly, my mother thinks it's awful and claustrophobic, but frequently kicks her covers off even in the middle of winter.

DH and I have a queen size duvet each on a super-king bed. Perfect!

Poppins2016 · 30/01/2021 17:05

Excellent idea. I always size up for duvets!

Blimey, do you really need advice on this?

LouiseBelchersBunnyEars · 30/01/2021 17:06

Yes, always go a size up!!

LittleBearPad · 30/01/2021 17:07

We have a king size on a double.

I think it would more unreasonable to buy the ‘right’ size duvet!

WhatKatyDidNxt · 30/01/2021 17:07

Do it!!! I will be jealous as it’s a great idea

Clackyheels · 30/01/2021 17:08

We do that and it looks fine.

Sideorderofchips · 30/01/2021 17:11

I do and it's amazing

redcandlelight · 30/01/2021 17:12

yabu
put on 2 singles instead. a lot less faff making the bed

Pugdoglife · 30/01/2021 17:12

We've always had a duvet a size bigger than the bed, no fighting over it that way

StrawBeretMoose · 30/01/2021 17:12

@reefedsail what size is queen size duvet?
I have a superking with one superking duvet and an additional single duvet in my side of the cover.

IEat · 30/01/2021 17:15

Have one duvet each no moaning over who has more then!

I absolutely do. I bow to the superior household wisdom of mumsnet.
