Why so many people choose cotton

Cotton has been one of the most popular materials for duvet covers for years, and for good reason. It feels soft and natural against the skin, breathes well and absorbs moisture. That means you are less likely to sleep clammy and your bed stays more comfortable, even if you tend to get warm quickly. At the same time, cotton is strong and easy to care for, which makes it well suited to everyday use. Want to make a more conscious choice about materials?

That is especially pleasant with a 240x220 duvet cover. This size is often used on a large double bed, so comfort for two matters too. Cotton offers a lovely balance of softness, freshness and ease of use. If you want a reliable all-round choice for every season, cotton is usually a very logical base.

Will 240x220 fit your bed?

What exactly does 240x220 mean?

With a 240x220 duvet cover, 240 cm is the width and 220 cm is the length. This is the standard size for an extra-wide double duvet cover. In the Netherlands, this size is mainly chosen for beds that are 160 and 180 cm wide. On a 160 cm bed you get extra overhang, while on a 180 cm bed you still have enough to sleep comfortably underneath.

If you have two separate mattresses next to each other, a 240x220 cover also works well as long as you use one large duvet. If you see 220x240 duvet cover somewhere, it usually refers to the same size, just written the other way round. To be sure, always check the product specifications and our bedding size guide.

Not sure whether to choose 240x200 or 240x220?

Then the length of your duvet is the deciding factor. If you have a 240x200 duvet, a 240x200 cover will fit most neatly. If you have a 240x220 duvet, choose the same size. The 220 cm length is often useful if you are taller, have a deeper mattress or like to tuck your duvet in a bit further at the foot of the bed.

A 240x220 duvet cover will often fit a 240x200 duvet, but you will have some extra room in the length. For the neatest fit, it is best to choose the same size as your duvet.

Which cotton suits your sleeping preference?

The main differences between cotton duvet covers

In this category, you will find more than just standard cotton, such as organic cotton duvet covers. The fibre is the same starting point, but the weave and finish make a big difference to how a duvet cover feels in bed.

Variant Feel Often a good match forRegular cotton Soft, breathable and familiar Anyone looking for an all-round duvet cover for every seasonPercale cotton Fresh, matt and slightly crisper Warm sleepers and anyone who likes a cool hotel feelCotton sateen Smooth, supple and subtly shiny Anyone who wants extra softness and a more luxurious feelEgyptian cotton Rich, soft and premium-looking Anyone who mainly focuses on comfort and refinement

If you are unsure between percale cotton and regular cotton, choose percale if you like a fresher and airier sleep feel. If you are unsure between cotton and cotton sateen, cotton sateen is especially nice if you prefer a smoother, more supple touch.

What else should you look for when choosing?

Tuck-in flap and closure

It is not just the material that matters. The finish also determines how pleasant a duvet cover is to use. So always pay attention to the tuck-in flap or closure at the bottom.

Popular options

• Double full-width tuck-in flap - handy if you like to tuck your duvet in properly.
• Bottle neck opening - helps keep the duvet more neatly in place.
• Button or zip closure - practical if you prefer a tighter closure.

Care and product information

Also look at the washing instructions, the exact material composition and the product details. With a 240x220 duvet cover, two pillowcases are often included, but that can vary from set to set. Prefer to buy separately? Explore organic cotton pillowcases. Clear product information helps you make the right choice faster. On selected products, you will also find information about responsible material choices and any certifications at product level.

Frequently asked questions about a 240x220 cotton duvet cover

Will a 240x220 duvet cover fit a 160 or 180 cm bed?

Yes. This size is specifically intended for wider double beds. On a 160 cm bed you get more overhang, while on a 180 cm bed you get a nice standard fit. That lets you sleep more comfortably together and helps the duvet fall better along the sides.

Is 220x240 the same as 240x220?

Usually, yes. Some shops list the length first and then the width, while others do it the other way round. Always check that it really is 240 cm wide and 220 cm long.

What is better: percale cotton or regular cotton?

That depends on your preference. Percale cotton feels fresher, drier and slightly crisper. Regular cotton often feels a little softer and more neutral. If you sleep warm, percale is often a good choice. If you mainly want a straightforward all-round option, regular cotton is often enough.

What is better: cotton or cotton sateen?

Here too, feel matters most. Cotton is matt, airy and familiar. Cotton sateen feels smoother and more supple and usually has a subtle sheen. If you want a calmer, classic feel, choose cotton. If you want extra softness and a more luxurious touch, cotton sateen is often the better fit.

Can a 240x220 cover fit a 240x200 duvet?

It often can, but it is not always the neatest match. You will have extra length left over, which can be especially noticeable when making the bed. For the best fit, it is best to choose the same size as your duvet.
