At Ombre Intérieur, we guide you in selecting the ideal size, whether it's a classic duvet cover, a fitted sheet, or a model with a valance, so your bed linen perfectly hugs your duvet for an always impeccable result.

Guide to Standard Dimensions for a Two-Person Duvet Cover

The term "2 people" actually covers several bedding dimensions. It is crucial to measure your duvet before any purchase. Here are the standard French and European market sizes that our covers correspond to.

Main Dimensions (Width x Length)

• 200x200 cm Duvet Cover: The most common square size for a double bed. It offers generous overhang on the sides for a spacious and enveloping bed.
• 200x220 cm Duvet Cover: The standard rectangular format, perfect for 160 cm slatted base beds. It ensures balanced overhang on the sides and at the foot of the bed.
• 240x220 cm Duvet Cover: A wider dimension, often intended for large double beds (180 cm) or for those who prefer a very ample and luxurious overhang on a 160 cm bed.

How to Choose Your Double Duvet Cover Correctly?

Beyond simply matching centimeters, several criteria come into play for an informed choice.

1. Check the Exact Size of Your Duvet

Duvets can lose or gain volume over time. Take it out of its cover and measure it flat. Then compare these measurements with the interior dimensions of the duvet cover. A 200x200 cm duvet cover is designed for a duvet of that size, but a margin of a few centimeters is often acceptable.

2. Understand the Importance of the Overhang

The overhang is the part of the cover that hangs over the mattress. An overhang that is too short gives a "too tight" look, while one that is too long can drag on the floor. For a standard double bed (160x200 cm), a 200x220 cm cover will provide an overhang of about 20 cm on each side, which is ideal. With a 200x200 cm cover on the same bed, the overhang will be less, creating a more structured look.

3. Select the Suitable Closure System

The closure impacts the ease of dressing the bed and the final aesthetic. Duvet covers with button closures or ties bring a classic and discreet touch. Covers with a fully or partially concealed zip closure guarantee perfect duvet retention and a very smooth appearance. Models with a valance (or "flap") are specially designed to keep the duvet perfectly centered, preventing it from shifting inside.

Care Tips to Keep Your Duvet Covers Like New

Bed linen that lasts is well-maintained linen. Follow these simple recommendations: Always follow the washing instructions on the label. As a general rule, washing at 30° or 40°C with a mild detergent is recommended. For drying, air drying is ideal. If you use a tumble dryer, choose a low-temperature program. Iron your duvet cover if necessary while still slightly damp for a perfectly smooth and elegant result.
