English size duvets - updated info?

Post by Emmy »

Hello... I've been looking back through old threads but can't find the info I'm looking for... Lots of useful info on sheets and duvet covers etc, but less on actual duvets.. I'm buying all our sheets/ duvet covers etc from the UK because of the excellent design/ quality/ price. However, English double duvets are 200 x 200 and French ones something like 220 x 240... (even in Ikea). Does anyone know of a uk company which will post out duvets?

I have 200x200 duvets that I bought in France, probably in one of the supermarkets (Casino Géant perhaps), the other sizes you mention are the equivalent of king size.

Emmy - if you want to buy them in England then John Lewis do international delivery of quite a lot of things. I would imagine duvets wouldn't be off their list? http://www.johnlewis.com/customer-servi ... nfo_151015

You can order duvets, pillows & all bedlinen & towels etc etc from John Lewis delivered to France - it's usually quicker & cheaper than La Redoute or 3 Suisses I've found.

King of Cotton also have a French website and have 200 x 200 size duvet covers - it's a standard size here, usually sold as 1 to 2 person size. Good quality Egyptian and other cotton, though beware their flat sheet sizes - order the size above the one you want as they're a bit on the small size, and they shrink!

Marks and Spencer do international delivery. I think Tesco Online do to.
