Are oversized duvets a thing?

[Kimmy567]

Looking at lovely duvet sets on line - lots of pictures seem to show king size duvet set on double bed - looks generous - do people do this in real life?

Yep. Always go a size larger. Makes a massive difference
.

Definitely. Done this for years!

We do 2 single duvets on a double.

Of course they do. A double duvet on a double bed is far too small. We've had a king size duvet on a double bed for decades now.

It depends how big you are. A larger body needs a bigger duvet.

Thank you! Xx

Yes, I always size up.

The best is TWO duvets both as big as possible

Yes, I size up for the duvet on all sizes of bed except single beds, where a double is far too big (for my preference).

We've gone superking duvet. Best decision ever!

yes. Always 1 size up, apart from on a single bed

Thanks everyone xx

I was taught to always do this. So much warmer and avoids arguments!

Yeah I've always done this. Double duvet on singles, king on doubles etc. Honestly op it's so lovely to have extra duvet and they sit better on the bed once it's made. not that I make my bed often

I do it in the winter. In hotter weather I have the same size duvet as my bed. But when it is cold I like to be able to wrap myself up more without the danger of bits being uncovered.

I wouldn’t go too big, they’re heavy and can end up sliding into the floor.

I've always had a king size quilt on my double bed. I'm single, no one to argue with about who has the quilt... and it's still just the right size 🤣

Why did no one ever tell me about this?

Yep got a kings size bed, superking bedding

I thought the thread was going to be about using a larger sized duvet cover on a smaller duvet. No idea why though!

Yes, I do this. Depending on the season, we either have 2 duvets on the 1 bed with different togs. DH gets far too hot and sweats whereas I feel the cold. Or, other times of the year, a larger duvet and cover. I thought it was the norm to have a larger duvet and cover to actually hang over the bed nicely, but also prevent one person being cold if the other rolls over and takes the duvet with them?

Have a single bed, double duvet. Recipe for happiness in my book! Cat likes it too 😉

It covers under bed storage

Yes! Although we recently splurged on a super king so are surviving (barely) on the right sized duvet. Having surplus duvet is the best!

Yep I can't imagine a double on a double now. All of our beds have a larger duvet. It looks much nicer and stips any drafts or duvet hogging!

Definitely a thing! Try it and you won’t go back.
