A single duvet at 135 x 200cm gives around 22cm of overhang on each side of a standard single mattress - enough to keep one person covered and to give the bed a neat, finished look. The size is right for a single bed; the more important decisions are tog rating and fill type. Single duvets are used across a wide range of settings - children's rooms, teenagers' bedrooms, guest rooms, student accommodation, bunk beds, and any room with a single sleeper who wants a duvet sized correctly for their bed. The considerations vary slightly depending on the setting.
A child's duvet may prioritise machine washability and hypoallergenic properties. A teenager's may prioritise temperature regulation as their sleep patterns and body temperature change. A guest room duvet may prioritise durability and ease of care over luxury. Getting the tog and fill right for the actual use is what makes a single duvet worth buying rather than simply choosing the cheapest option available. For a full guide, read our buying guide: Duvet Buying Guide.
| Factor | Why It Matters | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Tog rating | Tog measures thermal insulation. The right tog depends on how warm the sleeper runs and the season. Children and teenagers often sleep warmer than adults, which is worth factoring in when buying for a child's room. | Match the tog to the sleeper's temperature preferences. A child who always throws the duvet off at night needs a lower tog. See the tog guide below. |
| Fill type | The fill determines breathability, weight, care requirements, and price. For children's duvets, machine washability and hypoallergenic properties are often the priority. For adults, breathability and longevity may matter more. | Consider who will be using the duvet and what matters most - ease of care, natural materials, allergy protection, or value. |
| Size accuracy | A single duvet must measure 135 x 200cm to fit a standard single bed correctly. Some products labelled single may vary. | Always confirm the dimensions on the individual product listing before ordering. |

| Size | Duvet Dimensions | Bed It Fits |
|---|---|---|
| Single | 135 x 200cm | Single bed (90 x 190cm) |
| Double | 200 x 200cm | Double bed (135 x 190cm) |
| King Size | 225 x 220cm | King size bed (150 x 200cm) |
A single duvet on a single bed gives approximately 22cm of overhang on each side - enough for comfortable coverage for one person. Do not use a double duvet on a single bed as the excess bulk will spill onto the floor and bunch uncomfortably.
| Tog Rating | Season and Use | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 4.5 tog | Summer, warm bedrooms, hot sleepers | Children who sleep warm, teenagers who overheat, warmer months, rooms that run warm year-round |
| 10.5 tog | Spring, autumn, and year-round in a centrally heated home | Most single sleepers for everyday use - the most versatile choice |
| 13.5 tog | Winter and cold bedrooms | Those who feel the cold, older properties, winter months |
| All seasons | Two duvets - a lighter and a heavier weight - that fasten together | Those wanting one year-round solution, or where temperature varies significantly between seasons |
Children and teenagers often sleep warmer than adults. If buying for a child who regularly kicks off the duvet, a lower tog than you might expect is usually the right call.
| Fill Type | How It Performs | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Hollow Fibre / Synthetic | Machine washable, hypoallergenic, affordable. Modern branded fills use recycled fibres for sustainability. Heavier than down for the same warmth. | Children's rooms, allergy sufferers, guest rooms, those wanting easy home care |
| Duck Feather and Down | Naturally breathable with a good warmth-to-weight ratio. Lighter and more luxurious than synthetic. Requires professional or careful low-temperature laundering. | Solo adults wanting a premium natural fill, those who prefer lighter bedding |
| Temperature Regulated / Cooling | Specialist fills designed to actively manage body temperature - drawing heat away or responding to temperature changes. | Teenagers and adults who sleep warm, those with night sweats, warmer bedrooms |
| All Seasons | Two duvets that fasten together - a lighter summer weight and a heavier option combined for winter. | Those wanting flexibility across the year from a single purchase |
| Use | What to Look For |
|---|---|
| Children's bedrooms | Machine washable, hypoallergenic fill. A lower tog than you might assume - children typically sleep warmer than adults. Easy-care synthetic fills are the practical choice. |
| Teenagers' rooms | Temperature regulation is often more important here than for younger children. A 10.5 tog with a breathable or cooling fill suits most teenagers. |
| Guest rooms | Durability and ease of care over luxury. A synthetic 10.5 tog that can be machine washed and dried quickly is practical. Store in a duvet bag between uses to keep it fresh. |
| Bunk beds | A single duvet is the correct size for a standard bunk bed. Lightweight options are easier for children to manage in the confined space of an upper bunk. |
| Student accommodation | Machine washable and affordable. Synthetic 10.5 tog suits most student rooms, which are typically centrally heated. |

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What size is a single duvet? | A standard UK single duvet measures 135 x 200cm. This fits a single bed (90 x 190cm) with approximately 22cm of overhang on each side. Always check the dimensions on the individual product listing before ordering. |
| What tog single duvet do I need for a child? | Children typically sleep warmer than adults, so a lower tog than you might expect is usually right. For a centrally heated bedroom, 7.5 to 10.5 tog suits most children year-round. For summer or warm bedrooms, 4.5 tog prevents overheating. If your child regularly kicks the duvet off, move one step down in tog. |
| What is the best single duvet for a child? | A machine washable, hypoallergenic synthetic fill in 10.5 tog is the most practical choice for most children's bedrooms. It can be washed at home, dries quickly, and is suitable for allergy-sensitive children. For older children and teenagers, a breathable or temperature-regulating fill helps manage the warmer sleep patterns common in this age group. |
| What is the best single duvet for a guest room? | A durable, machine washable synthetic duvet in 10.5 tog suits most guest rooms. It can be washed between visits and provides comfortable warmth for most conditions. Store it in a duvet bag or breathable cover between uses to keep it fresh. |
| Do I need a single duvet for a bunk bed? | Yes - a single duvet is the correct size for a standard bunk bed. Lightweight options are easier for children to manage in the more confined space of an upper bunk. Check the dimensions of your bunk bed mattress before ordering to confirm it takes a standard single. |
| Can you wash a single duvet at home? | It depends on the fill. Synthetic and hollow fibre single duvets are usually machine washable - use a large drum machine and follow the care label. Feather and down duvets typically require professional or low-temperature machine washing. Always check the individual care label before washing. |
| What is the difference between a single and a double duvet? | Size. A single duvet measures 135 x 200cm and fits a single bed. A double duvet measures 200 x 200cm and fits a double bed. Using a double duvet on a single bed creates excess bulk that falls off the sides and makes the bed uncomfortable to sleep in. Always match the duvet size to the bed size. Browse our double duvets if you have a double bed. |
| Do you offer free delivery on single duvets? | Yes, free UK delivery is included on orders over £100. Some individual products below this threshold may have delivery charges - check the individual listing. Some remote postcodes may incur an additional charge. See our delivery page for full details. |
| Can I buy a single 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. |
