Bedding 140x220 cm combines the width of standard single bedding with an extra 20 cm of length compared with the 140x200 cm size. It is therefore intended for a duvet measuring 140x220 cm. Matching the duvet cover to the duvet dimensions helps the filling sit properly inside rather than bunching up or leaving excess fabric.
If your duvet measures 140x200 cm, choose bedding 140x200 cm instead. For a wider 200x220 cm duvet, see bedding 200x220 cm.
Once you have confirmed the size, the fabric construction is an important consideration. Cotton can be woven and finished in different ways, affecting the feel and appearance of the bedding. Options such as cotton satin weave, plain weave and seersucker can offer distinctly different textures, from a smoother surface to a more relaxed, textured look.
Material descriptions can also distinguish between conventional and organic cotton. When comparing bedding, check the individual product information for the precise fibre composition, weave and care instructions, as these details can vary between designs.
Bedding has both a practical and decorative role in the bedroom. Consider how its colour and pattern work with your sheets, cushions and other home textiles. A restrained design can create a calm expression, while pattern and stronger colour can make the bed a more prominent part of the room.
It is better to match the cover to the duvet size. A 140x220 cm duvet cover is 20 cm longer than a 140x200 cm duvet, so the shorter duvet may leave excess fabric at the end. Choose 140x200 cm bedding for a 140x200 cm duvet.
Bedding measuring 140x220 cm is intended for a longer single duvet of the same dimensions. If your duvet measures 200x220 cm, choose bedding made for that wider size instead.
