What is a 200x200 and 200x220 duvet cover?
The sizes 200x200 and 200x220 cm are the common double sizes for duvet covers in the Netherlands and Belgium. The first size always refers to the width (200 cm), the second to the length (200 or 220 cm) of the duvet cover. Duvet covers are available in various sizes such as 200x200 cm, but 200x220 cm is also a popular standard size.
A 200x200 duvet cover is suitable for beds 140 to 160 cm wide. With a 160 cm wide mattress, you have a comfortable overhang of approximately 20 cm on both sides, which ensures a neat appearance. On a 140 cm mattress, the overhang is even more generous, ideal for those who appreciate a luxurious look or for those sleeping with two people in a 140 cm small double bed.
Bath&Living offers primarily Vandyck duvet covers available in both 200x200 and 200x220 – the perfect base for a completely styled bedroom. Vandyck uses consistent sizing, making it easy for you to choose the right cover for your duvet.
Types of duvet covers in 200x200 and 200x220
Within the same width of 200 cm, various lengths and tuck-in solutions are available. Read below to find out which type suits your situation.
Duvet cover 200x200 cm for standard length
This is the classic double size, designed for duvets 200 cm long. A 200x200 duvet cover fits a 200 cm duvet and is therefore suitable for standard Dutch beds with a mattress length of 200 cm. In practice, this size is almost always combined with a standard tuck-in flap, resulting in a length slightly greater than 200 cm.
This double duvet cover is ideal for sleepers up to approximately 1.80 to 1.85 m in height. Do you not need extra length and do you sleep on a standard bed? Then 200x200 offers just enough coverage for a good night's sleep without unnecessary fabric.
Duvet cover 200x220 cm for extra length
A 200x220 duvet cover is ideal for taller sleepers or for those who want plenty of tuck-in room. This double duvet cover is designed for extra-long duvets of 220 cm and fits perfectly with mattresses of 200 to 210 cm in length combined with bed widths of 140 to 180 cm.
Bath&Living has an extensive collection Vandyck duvet covers in size 200x220, from satin and percale cotton to washed cotton and cotton-hemp blends. All Vandyck Duvet covers in the range have a length of 220 cm excluding the tuck-in flap, making them suitable for both standard and extra-long beds.
Duvet cover 200x200/220 with continuous tuck-in flap
You regularly encounter the designation "200x200/220" against with duvet covers. This can mean that the cover has a longer tuck-in flap – often approx. 20 to 40 cm – making it suitable for both a 200 and 220 cm long duvet. The tuck-in flap of a duvet cover can be 20 to 60 cm, depending on the brand and model. Our Vandyck All duvet covers have a length of 220 cm, to which a tuck-in flap is added so that you can easily make your bed, even with an extra-long 220 cm duvet.
This construction is particularly practical for those who easily suffer from cold feet or are restless sleepers. Because the extra piece of fabric can be tucked in securely, the duvet stays in place better during the night.
For which bed and duvet sizes is 200x200 or 200x220 suitable?
The core question when buying a new duvet cover is: does it fit my bed and my duvet? Which size duvet cover you need, depends on both the width and the length of your bed.
Bed width: 140, 160 or 180 cm?
The width of your mattress determines the width of your duvet and how much overhang you have on the sides:
- Bed 140 cm wide - With a duvet and duvet cover that are 200 cm wide, you have an overhang of approximately 30 cm on both sides. This provides a comfortable, generous drape along the sides – ideal for one or two sleepers who sleep close together.
- Bed 160 cm wide - This is the standard double choice. The overhang of approximately 20 cm on each side ensures sufficient coverage without the cover touching the floor. The 160 cm double bed is the "sweet spot" for a 200 cm wide double duvet cover.
- Bed 180 cm wide - At this width, the overhang is minimal (approximately 10 cm per side). Many people choose a double bed size here, such as 240x220, However, a 200x220 duvet cover is still often used by those who consciously prefer less overhang.
Length: which size do you choose for a 200 or 220 cm duvet?
The length of your duvet is the deciding factor when choosing the size of the cover. The basic rule is simple: choose a duvet cover in exactly the same size as your duvet, or slightly longer. A 200x200 duvet cover fits a 200 cm duvet; a 200x220 duvet cover is for a 220 cm duvet but also fits perfectly on a shorter duvet. This makes a 200x220 cm duvet cover much more versatile.
Many extra-long beds in the Netherlands come standard with duvets 220 cm in length. Which size duvet you need, is therefore always the first step. Note: an incorrectly chosen length leads to insufficient tuck-in space or a restless, billowing duvet that does not lie flat.
Single, double, or twin beds?
A 'twin' is a bed approximately 120 to 140 cm wide. A double duvet cover of 200x200 or 200x220 fits generously on this – there is abundant overhang, which creates a luxurious hotel atmosphere.
For a standard double bed (140–160 cm), 200x200 and 200x220 are the logical choice. For extra-wide beds such as twin beds (180–200 cm wide) or twin beds XL, a wider duvet cover is usually chosen, such as 240x220 cm. However, some sleepers consciously choose the narrower size, for example, if they prefer a sleek look or each use their own duvet.
Important size details: tuck-in flap, closure, and pillowcases
It is not only the width and length of the duvet cover that determine the fit – the finish also plays a major role. In addition, the right combination of tuck-in flap, closure, and pillowcases ensures a complete and comfortable ensemble. In our range, every 200x200/220 cm duvet cover comes with 2 pillowcases measuring 60x70 cm, which is suitable for a double bed.
Tuck-in flap: total length of your duvet cover
A tuck-in flap is the extra piece of fabric at the bottom of the duvet cover that allows you to firmly slide the cover under the mattress. With a standard tuck-in flap, this is approximately 20 cm, but many quality covers have a longer tuck-in flap of 30 to 40 cm.
Specifically: a 200x220 duvet cover has a total length of approximately 240 cm including the tuck-in flap. Some brands even offer double continuous tuck-in flaps that bring the total length to approximately 260 cm. This is particularly useful for high mattresses, box springs, or adjustable beds – the higher the mattress, the more tuck-in space you need. Each Vandyck The 200x200/220 cm duvet cover features a wide bottleneck tuck-in flap, only slightly narrower than the cover itself. This makes it easy to insert the duvet into the cover, while still allowing you to make your bed neatly without too much fabric at the corners.
Types of closures for 200x200 and 200x220
The most common closures for duvet covers are:
- Bottleneck - An opening at the bottom with a pouch-shaped inner rim. At Vandyck This construction is frequently used. The bottleneck ensures that you can easily tuck in the cover without the duvet shifting.
- Button closure - Classic and simple, but slightly slower to apply the layout.
- Row - Keeps the duvet firmly in place, handy for restless sleepers.
- Continuous tuck-in strip - No real closure, but a wide strip that disappears under the mattress.
The choice of closure does not affect the dimensions themselves, but it does affect how easy it is to make the bed and how well the duvet stays in place – especially during cold nights when you move around a lot.
Pillowcase size for double duvet covers
For duvet covers 200x200 and 200x220, at Bath&Living comes with two pillowcases as standard. The standard size in the Netherlands is 60x70 cm, and this is also the case with the Vandyck duvet covers.
Do you want to combine extra decorative pillows? Then pay attention to the proportions in relation to the width of your bed and the duvet cover. Too many or too wide pillows can spoil the overall look.
How do you choose the right size: 200x200 or 200x220?
The size you choose depends on the size of duvet you selected. The choice between these two sizes comes down to a few clear criteria. Choose wisely, and you will enjoy a new double duvet cover that fits your duvet and your bed perfectly for years to come.
- Length of the bed and your height People taller than approximately 1.85 m almost always sleep better under a 200x220 duvet and cover. A 200x220 duvet cover offers extra length that prevents your feet from sticking out from under the duvet.
- Size of your current duvet - Always choose a duvet cover in exactly the same size as the duvet, and certainly not smaller. So for a 200x220 duvet, choose a 200x220 cover. Is your duvet 200x200? Then both 200x200 and 200x220 covers will suffice. The extra length is tucked in at the foot end, as long as the width is exactly right. A good quality duvet cover lasts longer and ensures better sleeping comfort when it fits perfectly.
- Desired tuck-in space - People who get cold easily and those with high mattresses benefit from a longer size or a duvet cover with a generous tuck-in flap. A 200x220 cm duvet cover offers extra tuck-in space compared to 200x200.
- Number of sleepers and sleep behavior - Two restless sleepers on a wide 180 cm bed might be better off looking at 240x220 (twin beds), but on a 160 cm wide bed, 200x220 is usually more than enough for two people.
- Styling and proportions in the space - A duvet cover that is just slightly wider than the width of the mattress gives a luxurious look and a hotel atmosphere. Too narrow or too wide looks cluttered.A duvet cover can set the mood of the bedroom – so choose the dimensions carefully. Consider an overhang of approximately 20 or 30 cm per side.
Duvet cover 200x200 and 200x220 cm in various materials and colors
In the wide range of duvet covers from Bath&In Living, you will find various materials, all kinds of stylish solid colors, and an enormous diversity of prints, designs, and woven patterns. The material largely determines your sleeping comfort, as each material has different properties. The desired material for your duvet cover therefore depends not only on your aesthetic preference, but also on how warm you get at night and what feels comfortable against your skin.
Various materials
Cotton is by far the most common material for duvet covers because it is breathable and absorbent, lasts a long time, and is therefore sustainable. The type of weave or a mix with other materials ensures diversity in properties and comfort. Cotton satin is woven in such a way that it feels and looks smoother and more luxurious than, for example, cotton percale. However, percale is crisp and fresh and has a beautiful matte finish. A higher thread count in cotton satin or percale results in higher quality. Other materials used include linen or hemp (robust crinkle), bamboo (airy), flannel (extra warm), and Tencel (cooling).
Colors and patterns
As for colors and designs, you can at the Vandyck Duvet covers go in all directions. Solid colors are timeless, but can certainly set the mood of your bedroom. Neutral tones such as beige have a calming effect, which is certainly pleasant in a smaller bedroom. Dark colors look cozy or edgy, and a striking color makes your bed an eye-catcher. And popular designs such as floral prints, stripes, or graphic prints are real mood setters.

Frequently asked questions about duvet covers 200x200 and 200x220
Below, we answer the most frequently asked sizing questions about these double duvet covers.
Is a 200x200 duvet cover also suitable for a 200x220 duvet?
No, this is not recommended. A duvet that is 220 cm long does not fit neatly into a cover that is 200 cm long – the duvet will bunch up, the corners will not fill the cover nicely, and the whole thing will not stay taut. For a 200x220 duvet, always choose a 200x220 duvet cover. A duvet cover protects the duvet from bacteria and dirt, but only if it fits properly can it also significantly extend the lifespan of the duvet.
Does a 200x220 duvet cover fit a small double?
Yes, in terms of width, this fits perfectly on a bed of 120 to 140 cm. The extra width provides a generous overhang on both sides. This is often chosen by solo sleepers who like plenty of space and coverage under the duvet – it provides a comfortable and luxurious sleeping experience. Or by two quiet sleepers sharing a small double bed.
How much overhang do I have with a 200x200 duvet cover on a 160x200 bed?
160x200 cm is the standard size for a double bed. A 160 cm wide bed with a 200 cm duvet cover provides approximately 20 cm of overhang on both sides (without taking the thickness of the mattress into account). In most cases, this is sufficient for a neat appearance and comfortable sleep.With high box springs or thick mattresses, the effective overhang may be smaller – in that case, consider a fitted sheet that matches in color, and choose a longer tuck-in flap if necessary.
What do I do if my mattress is higher than average?
When purchasing a new duvet cover, look for models with a longer tuck-in flap, so that the total length reaches approximately 240 or even 260 cm. The product descriptions at Bath&Living provides details about the tuck-in flap so you can estimate if the length matches your mattress thickness. A generous tuck-in flap prevents the duvet from coming loose and ensures you sleep warm and comfortably.
How do I know which size Vandyck duvet cover I need for my existing duvet?
Check the washing label or the label on your duvet: the size is almost always listed there. Vandyck and Bath&Living uses the same sizing, so you simply choose 200x200 for a 200x200 duvet and 200x220 for a 200x220 duvet. Still unsure?
