A double duvet at 200 x 200cm gives around 32cm of overhang on each side of a standard double bed - enough to stay covered when two people are sleeping under it and enough to tuck in if preferred. The size is right; the more important decisions are tog rating and fill type. Tog determines how warm the duvet is. Fill type determines how it breathes, how heavy it feels, how long it lasts, and how easy it is to care for. Getting both right for how warm you sleep and the time of year is what turns a duvet from a functional purchase into something that actively improves your sleep.
Our double duvet range covers the full spectrum - from lightweight 4.5 tog summer options through to 13.5 tog winter weight, with synthetic, feather and down, and specialist fill types across the range. For a full guide to choosing the right tog and fill, read our buying guide: Duvet Buying Guide.
| Factor | Why It Matters | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Tog rating | Tog measures thermal insulation - higher tog means more warmth. Buying the wrong tog is the most common reason couples are either too hot or too cold in bed. A double duvet needs to work for two sleepers who may have different temperature preferences. | If you and your partner have noticeably different temperature preferences, consider a lower tog with a warmer fill, or two separate single duvets. See the tog guide below. |
| Fill type | The material inside the duvet affects breathability, weight, care requirements, and price. Natural fills like feather and down breathe better but need more careful laundering. Synthetic fills are machine washable, hypoallergenic, and more affordable. | Match the fill to your priorities - breathability, ease of care, allergy needs, or sustainability. |
| Dimensions | A double duvet must measure 200 x 200cm to fit a double bed (135 x 190cm) correctly with proper overhang on both sides. Some products labelled double may vary slightly. | Always confirm the dimensions on the individual product listing, not just the size label. |

| Size | Duvet Dimensions | Bed Size It Fits |
|---|---|---|
| Double | 200 x 200cm | Double bed (135 x 190cm) |
| King Size | 225 x 220cm | King size bed (150 x 200cm) |
| Super King Size | 260 x 220cm | Super king bed (180 x 200cm) |
A double duvet on a double bed gives approximately 32cm of overhang on each side. This is comfortable for two sleepers but can feel limited if one person tends to pull the duvet. If this is a common problem, an all seasons duvet (two separate layers) allows each person to use one layer independently, or consider two single duvets placed side by side.
| Tog Rating | Season and Use | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 4.5 tog | Summer, warm bedrooms, or very hot sleepers year-round | Those who overheat at night, warmer months, rooms without air conditioning that get warm in summer |
| 10.5 tog | Spring, autumn, and year-round in a centrally heated home | Most couples for everyday use - provides balanced warmth without overheating in a modern heated home |
| 13.5 tog | Winter and cold bedrooms | Those who feel cold at night, older properties with less insulation, winter months |
| All seasons | Two separate duvets - a lighter and a heavier weight - that fasten together | Couples with different temperature preferences, those wanting one long-term solution across all seasons |
If you and your partner consistently disagree on temperature, two separate single duvets is worth considering - each person sleeps under their own, which eliminates the overnight tog compromise entirely.
| Fill Type | How It Performs | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Hollow Fibre / Synthetic | Machine washable, hypoallergenic, affordable. Heavier for the same warmth than natural fills but easy to care for at home. Modern synthetic fills like Smartfil use recycled fibres for improved sustainability without compromising comfort. | Allergy sufferers, those wanting easy home laundering, practical everyday use, those on a tighter budget |
| Duck Feather and Down | Naturally breathable and a good warmth-to-weight ratio. Softer than hollow fibre for the same tog. Requires professional laundering or careful machine washing at low temperature. | Those wanting a natural fill with good breathability, those who prefer the lighter feel of a natural duvet |
| Specialist and Branded Fills | Includes proprietary fills such as Simba Renew Bio fibres (breathable, temperature-regulating, sustainably sourced) and Nectar Modal blend (moisture-wicking, anti-allergenic). Combines performance of synthetic with benefits closer to natural materials. | Hot sleepers, allergy sufferers, those wanting sustainability credentials alongside performance |

In our experience, the most common double duvet mistake is buying 13.5 tog as a year-round duvet in a centrally heated home. Most people in a modern UK home will be more comfortable with 10.5 tog for everyday use and a lightweight duvet for summer. If you are consistently pushing the duvet off during the night, tog is likely the problem rather than the fill.
| Fill Type | Washing and Drying | How Often |
|---|---|---|
| Synthetic / Hollow Fibre | Machine wash at 40 to 60 degrees - check care label. Use a large drum machine (at least 8kg). Tumble dry on low or air dry flat. | Two to three times per year |
| Feather and Down | Dry clean or professional laundering recommended. Some allow gentle machine wash at 30 to 40 degrees - check care label. Tumble dry on low with dryer balls to restore loft, or air dry flat. | Once or twice per year |
| Specialist branded fills | Most machine washable - check individual care label for temperature and cycle. Tumble dry on low or air dry. | As directed on care label |
Always use a duvet cover - this significantly reduces how often the duvet itself needs washing and protects the fill and construction. Browse our duvet cover sets for double size options.

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What size is a double duvet? | A standard UK double duvet measures 200 x 200cm. This fits a double bed (135 x 190cm) with around 32cm of overhang on each side. Always check the dimensions on the individual product listing before ordering, as some products may vary slightly. |
| What tog duvet do I need for a double bed? | It depends on how warm or cold you and your partner sleep and the season. For everyday use in a centrally heated UK home, 10.5 tog suits most couples. If you sleep warm, 4.5 tog or a specialist cooling fill may be more appropriate. If you feel cold at night, 13.5 tog gives more warmth. An all seasons duvet gives flexibility across the year. See our full duvet buying guide for more detail. |
| What if my partner and I prefer different temperatures? | There are two practical solutions. An all seasons duvet with two separate attachable layers gives some flexibility - one person can use a single layer while the other uses both. The more complete solution is two separate single duvets placed side by side on the double bed - each person sleeps under their own tog without compromise. Our team can advise on both approaches. |
| Are feather and down duvets better than synthetic? | Neither is objectively better - it depends on your priorities. Feather and down is naturally breathable, lighter for the same warmth, and feels more luxurious. Synthetic is machine washable at home, hypoallergenic, and more affordable. For allergy sufferers or those who want easy care, synthetic is usually the right choice. For breathability and a natural feel, feather and down is worth the step up. |
| Can I machine wash a double duvet? | It depends on the fill. Most synthetic duvets are machine washable - use a large drum machine of at least 8kg and follow the care label. Feather and down duvets generally require professional dry cleaning or very careful machine washing at low temperature. Always check the individual care label before washing. |
| What is the difference between a double duvet and a king size duvet? | Size. A double duvet measures 200 x 200cm and fits a double bed. A king size duvet measures 225 x 220cm and fits a king size bed. Using a double duvet on a king size bed will leave less overhang and may result in the duvet being pulled to one side. Always match the duvet size to your bed size. Browse our king size duvets if you have a king size bed. |
| Do you offer free delivery on double duvets? | Yes, free UK delivery is included on orders over £100, which covers most of our double duvet range. Some products below this threshold or in remote postcodes may have delivery charges - check the individual listing. See our delivery page for full details. |
| Can I buy a double duvet on finance? | Yes. Interest-free finance is available on eligible orders. See our finance page for full details on terms, eligibility, and how to apply. |
