Whether you're refreshing your bedroom or purchasing a new bed, finding the right duvet size can sometimes be a puzzle, especially with Irish dimensions differing from those in other countries.
This guide is here to simplify your search for the perfect duvet fit, tailored specifically to Irish bed sizes. Let's explore everything from single to super king-sized duvets, helping you make a cosy, well-fitted choice for your bed.
Duvet & Bed Sizes Ireland
In Ireland, duvet sizes are typically aligned with standard mattress sizes, ensuring a good fit for your bed. A helpful tip: consider opting for a duvet that’s one size up if you prefer a bit of extra coverage or a more luxurious look on your bed. Not only does this add comfort, but it also enhances warmth, especially for those colder Irish nights.

Single Duvet Size in CM
For single beds, the duvet size most commonly used in Ireland measures 135 x 200 cm. This size is ideal for children’s rooms, guest rooms, or any small single bed setup.
Small Double Duvet Size in CM
The duvet size for a small double bed in Ireland is approximately 170 cm x 200 cm. Sometimes called a three-quarter bed, this size is a popular option for smaller bedrooms, teenagers, or solo sleepers who want more space than a single without moving to a full double.
Double Duvet Size in CM
The double duvet size in Ireland is typically 200 x 200 cm, providing a balanced fit for standard double beds. This size ensures coverage without excess bulk, creating a comfortable feel for two people or a cozy wrap for one.
King Size Duvet in CM
For a more luxurious sleeping arrangement, the king-size duvet in Ireland measures 220 x 230 cm. This dimension is perfect for king-sized beds, allowing for ample coverage and an inviting appearance.
Super King Size Duvet in CM
At 220 x 260 cm, the super king-size duvet is the largest standard size in Ireland. This option is a popular choice for those with super king beds or anyone looking to add an extra layer of warmth and comfort to their bed.
Queen Size Duvet: What’s the Equivalent in Ireland?
The term queen size duvet is often used in countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia, but it’s not a standard duvet size in Ireland. This can cause confusion if you're comparing sizes across international bedding charts.
To find the equivalent, let’s compare the typical queen size dimensions with the the Irish king size:
-
Queen Size Duvet (USA / Australia): approximately ~152 cm x 203 cm
-
King size duvet (Ireland): approximately 150 cm x 200 cm
So, if you're used to a US-style Queen bed, the closest equivalent in Ireland is a King.
