Looking for the perfect double duvet? Size, warmth, material… This comprehensive guide helps you make the right choice for a soft, comfortable sleep perfectly suited to your needs.
1. What size duvet is needed for a double person?
The standard size for a double bed is 240x220 cm , but you can also opt for a 260x240 cm duvet for a fuller, more cozy feel. Check the dimensions of your mattress and ensure sufficient overhang on each side for optimal comfort.
2. What weave density should I choose?
The quality of a duvet also depends on the thread count per square centimeter (expressed in threads/cm² and TC - Thread Count). The higher this number, the tighter the weave, the more durable and softer the fabric.
-
Less than 60 threads/cm² (approximately 150 threads/cm²) : basic weave, often less durable
-
80 to 120 threads/cm² (200 to 300 thread count) : quality standard, soft and breathable
-
160 threads/cm² and above (400 thread count and above) : premium weave, very soft and silky
At Carré Blanc, we select high-density fabrics to guarantee optimal comfort and excellent durability.
3. Which material should I choose?
-
Synthetic : lightweight, hypoallergenic and easy to care for. Good value for money.
-
Natural : down, feather or silk for superior breathability and comfort.
-
Organic cotton : an ethical and gentle alternative, ideal for sensitive skin.
Carré Blanc offers duvets with responsible filling, certified OEKO-TEX or GOTS, to combine comfort and conscience.
4. How do I care for my duvet?
Check the washing instructions: most synthetic duvets can be machine washed at 40°C. For natural duvets, professional cleaning or launderette cleaning with a large capacity drum is recommended.
Tip: Remember to air your duvet regularly and use a protective cover to prolong its lifespan.
Choosing a good double duvet means giving yourself a better night's sleep and comfort tailored to your lifestyle. Size, weave, material: everything matters. At Carré Blanc, our selection of duvets combines quality, durability, and well-being, to accompany you all year round.
