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

As a previous poster has said , we have a queen size duvet each on a super king size bed , far more snuggly especially when the little ones sneak in !

Usermn78 · 30/01/2021 17:26

That's settled it then. Thank you all. I already have advice from both another thread and good housekeeping magazine to go with a bedfolk linen set. I will have the finest set up in all of christendom!

We have a super king size duvet on our king size bed. It is great.

DimplesToadfoot · 30/01/2021 17:31

I have a king size on a double bed and I live/sleep alone :-) why not?

UseOfWeapons · 30/01/2021 17:32

I have a king size duvet on my double bed. Sumptuous for proper snuggling, warmer, and duvet stays in place better due to the overhang!
Go for it, girl, it’s only the laundering of the the covers that’s a bit of a pain.absolutely worth it, though.

TheFairyCaravan · 30/01/2021 17:33

We’ve always had a bigger duvet on our beds. Ours is a super king on a king, it looks much better but it’s like a full work out when you’re changing it.

RavingAnnie · 30/01/2021 17:33

Yes. You should always get a duvet one size up from the size of bed.

Emmab321 · 30/01/2021 17:34

I have kingsize duvets on my doubles :) not fighting over it in the night !

VerbenaGirl · 30/01/2021 17:35

We have a double duvet on the single bed in our spare room and it works well.

Shmithecat2 · 30/01/2021 17:35

I have always had a quilt one size bigger then the bed, just be aware that when it gets to queen size bedding, choices are limited and expensive. It's hard enough finding something I like it superking sometimes.

Idontbelieveit12 · 30/01/2021 17:42

We have 2 double duvets on our king size bed as we like to wrap up in them 🤣

1forAll74 · 30/01/2021 17:45

I have just a double bed, ( for me only) but I always have a king sized duvet for the bed, as it looks much better and neater.

LaceyBetty · 30/01/2021 17:46

Never thought of doing this. Great idea!

Do it. We have separate rooms so I have my own king size bed with a super king size duvet, it's bliss.

VoldemortsKitten · 30/01/2021 17:51

Definitely! Super king on king here. In summer we have 2 single ones of different thickness, I have the ultra light one as I get way too hot.

Bumblebee1980a · 30/01/2021 17:56

Yes we do this too. For our king size beds we have superking duvets. Unfortunately my bed is superking which means i can't go any bigger than that.

gavisconismyfriend · 30/01/2021 18:10

Always have a duvet a size bigger than the bed, cosy and luxurious

Filterlea · 30/01/2021 18:14

There is a size above superking - emperor, we have a emperor duvet on our superking bed, takes both of us to change it.

Foxyloxy1plus1 · 30/01/2021 18:21

Where do you get duvet covers for a bigger size than super king. It’s hard enough to find super king size.

AndcalloffChristmas · 30/01/2021 18:24

Yes much better. Less of an argument about anyone stealing the duvet, and harder to lose the duvet by tossing and turning etc

SunsetBeetch · 30/01/2021 18:25

I've always sized up. Otherwise the duvet seems to only just fit. Go for it! Be nice snd snuggly.

PurBal · 30/01/2021 18:26

I have this. Wouldn't go back.

okokok000 · 30/01/2021 18:27

@TennisBunny

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