100 views

Typically, a duvet cover is designed to be slightly larger than the duvet itself to account for the fill power and fluffiness of the duvet. Expect a duvet cover to be 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) larger on all sides compared to the duvet. This ensures a snug fit without compressing the duvet, allowing it to loft fully for optimal warmth and comfort.
