Is your bed in need of a serious makeover? A plush, stylish duvet might be just what you need. Before you start shopping, though, you’ll need to know which duvet sizes to look for. Show
What is a duvet, you may ask? A duvet is a quilted blanket that goes inside a protective duvet cover. It tops off your bed and spills neatly over the sides of your mattress. However, it’s important to find a duvet size that matches your mattress size to get the look just right. In this guide, we’ll go through the different duvet and cover dimensions, give you pointers on what to look for, and answer frequently asked duvet questions. To get started, check out our duvet cover size chart below. Keep in mind that these sizes will differ from brand to brand.
Duvet Cover SizesHere, we’ll go a little more in-depth into the different duvet and duvet cover sizes for each bed type. Read on to find the ideal size for each and every bed. Twin Duvet SizeTwin-sized duvets can start as small as 64” x 88” but differ from brand to brand. A twin Casper mattress is 38” x 75”, requires flat twin sheets that are 75” x 102”, and needs a duvet size of 74” x 98”. Size: 74” x 98” | 188 x 249 cm Twin XL Duvet SizeTwin XL mattresses are five inches longer than twins. However, they’re identical in width — so a twin-sized duvet should fit both. Size: 74” x 98” | 188 x 249 cm Full Duvet SizeA full-sized bed with a duvet is not too small, not too large: a popular option for a guest bedroom. Full-size duvets range in dimensions, but they should measure around 95” x 98”. A full Casper mattress is 53” x 75”, and requires full flat sheets that are 96″ x 102″. Size: 95” x 98” | 241 x 249 cm Queen Duvet SizeA queen bed is another solid choice for a guest bedroom or primary bedroom. Our queen duvet cover dimensions are the same as our full duvets, measuring 95” x 98”. However, queen-size sheets are a little bit larger. Size: 95” x 98” | 241 x 249 cm King Duvet SizeA classic primary bedroom choice, king beds look extra luxe with a plush duvet on top. Our king duvets are 111” x 98”. Make sure to look for king-sized sheets that measure 112″ x 102″ to complete the look. Size: 111” x 98” | 282 x 249 cm California King Duvet SizeIf you need a duvet for your spacious California king, no need to look far. Our king-size duvets will fit a California king mattress, too. Size: 111” x 98” | 282 x 249 cm What To Look For in a Duvet and CoverNow that you know which duvet size to get, you can focus on what it’s made of. With so many duvets out there to choose from, picking one can seem overwhelming. However, we’ve narrowed down the three most important things to look for in a duvet and cover. Cover FabricDuvet shells are typically made from cotton, but they also come in flannel, silk, bamboo, and polyester. Here’s an overview of each.
For all the hot sleepers out there who want to doze without a sweat, we made our down alternative duvet’s shell with 100% TENCEL® Lyocell — a highly breathable, durable fiber made from sustainably sourced wood pulp. FillA duvet insert is stuffed with filling to keep it plush and fluffy. There are different types of inside fill for duvets, and the best one all depends on your priorities. Here’s an overview of the most common fillings:
You’ll need to consider the material that will keep you most comfortable at night. Heavier materials like down will keep you warm. However, if you sleep hot, you might want to opt for a lightweight duvet instead. All of our duvets come in both midweight and lightweight options to accommodate every type of sleeper. Thread CountThread count is the threads per square inch of a material. A higher thread count indicates a softer, breathable fabric, while a lower thread count can be more cost-effective. A duvet cover should have a thread count of 200 to 600. The exact number depends on your preferences, but a cover in this range should be reasonably soft and durable. Anything lower runs the risk of the fill leaking through. FAQsStill have lingering duvet questions? To make sure you’re 100% confident when shopping for your new bedding, we’ll answer some of the most frequently asked questions below. How do you know what size duvet to get? Duvet sizes differ across brands, so it’s best to measure your bed and pay attention to the dimensions on each duvet you’re considering. Find a duvet size that corresponds to your mattress size. Do I need a duvet cover? Yes. If you have a duvet, we recommend using a duvet cover. Think of the duvet cover like a big pillowcase for the duvet insert. The cover protects the duvet insert from dirt and sweat. Plus, since it’s removable, the cover makes everything super easy to clean. Should your duvet cover be the same size as your duvet? Often, duvet inserts are designed to be several inches longer than the duvet cover. This helps create a fluffier look once you put the duvet inside the cover. However, always make sure to check the dimensions on both. Either get a duvet cover that is the same size as the insert or around two inches shorter. Are full and queen duvets the same size? When it comes to full vs queen beds, there are quite a few similarities. Casper full and queen-sized duvets are the same size. However, different brands may have different designated sizes for full and queen mattresses. What is the difference between a duvet and a comforter? A duvet includes two pieces: a cover and an insert. A comforter is just one piece of quilted bedding. What is the fill weight of a duvet? The fill weight refers to how many ounces of down are inside a duvet. Can I machine wash a duvet? Yes, you can machine wash a duvet. Check out the care instructions on your duvet’s label first, though, as some might have special instructions or suggest professional cleaning. With these tips, you’ll find the perfect duvet in no time. At Casper, our duvets are designed with the fluff dreams are made of.

What is the difference between queen and full queen comforter?If you have a queen-size bed, a comforter with a “full/queen” label may not be long enough to cover the sides of the mattress. Therefore, those with full mattresses should opt for a comforter with less width, between 81 and 84 inches. Those with queen beds should consider one with more width, between 86 and 88 inches.
What does size full queen mean?Full- and queen-size mattresses are two of the most commonly bought mattress sizes on the market. A full-size mattress is smaller than a queen, measuring 54 inches wide and 76 inches long. A queen-size mattress adds an extra 6 inches to the width making it 60 inches wide and 80 inches long.
Will a full queen comforter fit a full?Yes. A full size bed is the same as a double bed. A queen comforter will fit on a double but the sides will hang over a lot. It will still not touch the floor when both sides are equal.
Is a queen comforter bigger than a full?Some brands sell comforters in a full/queen size, even though the two are very different sizes; a full size mattress measures 54 by 75 inches and a queen bed measures 60 by 80 inches. These full/queen comforters can range anywhere from 81 to 88 inches in width and 86 to 100 inches in length.
