Is Your Duvet Swimming in Its Cover? Here's Why and How to Stop It.
Why Your Duvet Doesn’t Fit Your Cover (and How to Fix It)
Have you ever bought a beautiful duvet cover from a favourite shop – maybe Zara Home, Ikea or Ralph Lauren Home – only to find your duvet swimming inside it with far too much room to roam? You’re not imagining it, and you’re definitely not alone.
Why This Happens
More and more homeware brands are offering European (EU) sizes in their bedding ranges. While that gives you more choice, it can also lead to a frustrating size mismatch here in the UK.
For example:
EU King size cover: typically 240cm wide
UK King duvet: typically 225cm wide
That’s a 15cm gap, which means your duvet can bunch, sag at the corners, or shift around with every toss and turn – leaving you with a restless night and a crumpled-looking bed.
How Devon Duvets Solves the Problem
We spotted this trend many years ago. That’s why all our duvets are available in EU sizes as standard.
If you’ve bought a duvet cover in EU dimensions, you can simply choose the matching EU size duvet from our range. That way, your cover and duvet will be a perfect fit. No more bunching, sagging corners or wrestling the cover into place every morning – just the right size, made especially for you.


Your Options
- Choose from EU sizes for a perfect match with many designer and high-street duvet covers.
- Stick with UK sizes if your covers are UK dimensions. Either way, your duvet will be handcrafted in Devon from the finest natural materials, giving you the comfort and quality you expect. No nasty chemicals used, just as nature intended.
