What size duvet should I use on my double bed?

Many people are happy using a standard double-sized duvet (200 x 200cm) for double beds. However, if you're looking to give your bed a more plush and opulent look, or if you just prefer a little more coverage for cocooning in comfort, size up to a king-size duvet (225 x 220cm).

Can double bedding fit a small double bed?

While double bedding can fit a small double bed (mattress size 120cm x 190cm), it may have a slightly looser appearance. If available, consider small double-specific bedding (122 x 191cm) for a neater, more snug fit.
