When it comes to purchasing a UK single double duvet cover, it is important to consider the dimensions to ensure a proper fit for your bed. The cover should be wide enough to fully cover the single bed and long enough to accommodate the length of the double duvet.
Duvet cover sizes are slightly different from mattresses and duvets. The cover is a little larger than your duvets to allow for a comfortable fit. Make sure that the duvet is fully covered, providing warmth and comfort during sleep.

- After washing your duvet cover according to the instructions on the washing label, tumble dry it and leave a small amount of dampness.
- Gently shake it out to remove any wrinkles or creases.
- If your iron table is big enough, fold the duvet cover into two halves, otherwise reduce it to a quarter of its normal size.
- Lay it flat on your ironing board.
- Adjust your iron to the appropriate heat setting, taking care to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific duvet cover material.
- Delicately glide the iron over the duvet cover, starting from the top and working your way down. Paying extra attention to the edges and corners.
- Once you have completed ironing the duvet cover, allow it to cool and settle before placing it back on your bed to add a touch of elegance.
