Duvet & Bed Sizes Ireland

In Ireland, duvet sizes are typically aligned with standard mattress sizes, ensuring a good fit for your bed.

Not only does this add comfort, but it also enhances warmth, especially for those colder Irish nights.

Do You Have to Get the Same Duvet Size as Your Bed?

While it’s common to choose a duvet that matches your bed size, some prefer going one size larger to add extra coverage, especially when using a deep mattress or a mattress topper. Alternatively, some couples use two smaller duvets on one bed to accommodate individual temperature preferences—a Scandinavian-inspired approach.

How Do Other Countries Differ from Duvet Sizes in Ireland?

Duvet sizing can vary widely between countries. For example, in the U.S., the Irish double size (200 x 200 cm) is often labeled as “full,” while the Irish king size is similar to the U.S. queen. These differences make it essential to check the dimensions carefully, especially when shopping internationally or online.
