All you need to know about childrens double duvet covers

Finding a double duvet for a child can be somewhat of a challenge and trying to find information on the kids double duvet sets can be nearly impossible! For this reason I have decided to write an article on the seldom spoke about large sized kids duvet set. The first thing I will mention is the size of Children’s double duvet covers as this is sometimes a point of confusion. In the United Kingdom single duvet covers measure 140cm x 200cm and childrens double duvet covers are sized 200cm x 200cm and come with two matching pillow cases instead of the lonely one pillow case that comes with a single duvet cover.

The scope of both my knowledge and the context of this article are solely on double duvets for children in the UK which is why the only sizes I have mentioned above are for the UK. The one bit of information I will give you for the American version of a childs double duvet set is that they are known as a full size duvet in the USA. This is something to look out for if you are buying a double duvet as the American version is also slightly different in size.

If you are looking for a particular design of childrens double duvet for your child you may be disappointed. Unfortunately not every kids character has a double version of the single duvet which is due to not as many kids having a double bed as have a single bed. Never fear there are still lots of kids character duvet covers in a double size out there.

You may also find that childrens double duvet covers are more expensive than the singular version. The reason for this is not just because of the extra material used but also because of the extra cost involved per unit of manufacturing fewer quantities.

Manufacturers usually test the water with the single duvets and then the popular ones are also made into double duvets. This means that if you get your mates with single beds to go out buying the single version you may get the chance to have your favourite children’s double duvet!

Due to children’s double duvet sets only being made in the popular themes it also means that if you do manage to find a double duvet in the kids character theme you are looking for you will also be able to take you pick from a whole host of other kids bedroom accessories. The matching accessories for a childs double duvet are likely to include things like, kids curtains, rugs, lamp shades, blankets, towels, valance sheets, stickarounds and many more fun items

Most children’s double duvet covers in character theme are made out of 50% cotton and 50% polyester. To find a 100% cotton kids double duvet cover you will probably have to go for a plain theme or a checked style of kids double bedding.

All in all you may have to work a little bit harder to find your child a double duvet but there is still plenty of choice out. The reward of seeing your child with an extra big smile on there face is worth the extra effort so don’t give in!
