Comforter too short? When you should buy an oversized duvet

ueberlaenge_mary_rose.webp__PID:4fa96085-6117-4023-bd15-d48077ea7bb9

Well, have you been struggling with your comforter at night again? We know the problem - the standard bed dimensions are still designed for an average height of 1.75 m, which leads to problems sleeping for many people. Because we move around a lot at night, we need a sufficiently large comforter and matching bed linen so that we are still well wrapped up and our feet don't come out unintentionally.

What exactly is excess length/oversize?

Depending on the country, there is a certain standard size for comforters and bed linen that is - or at least was - designed for the majority of the population. The common standard sizes for Austria and Germany are:

Austria: 140x200 cm comforter, 70x90cm pillow
Germany: 135x200 cm comforter, 80x80cm or 40x80cm pillow

As we have become larger and larger in the course of evolution, the standard size only covers today's needs to a limited extent. For this reason, it is advisable to buy comforters in oversized or extra-long sizes:

Oversize: 140x220 cm
Oversize: 200x220 cm

When do I need an excess length/oversize?

As a general rule of thumb, the comforter should be approx. 20 cm longer than your own body size. If you measure yourself, add the 20 cm and end up between two sizes, then you should choose the next larger comforter size. To make the theoretical explanation a little easier for you, we have a small calculation example for you:

You are 182cm tall. Add the suggested 20cm to your height and you end up with 202cm. In this case, you might be tempted to go for the standard size instead of the extra length, as it is "only" 2 cm. However, we recommend that you switch directly to one of the two oversizes anyway, as they offer you more comfort and freedom than the standard size and ultimately give you a more restful night's sleep.

Large selection of overlengths/oversizes at Mary Rose

We listen to our customers and respond to their wishes in our production. This is why we have noticed over the years that the demand for oversizes and extra lengths is increasing. In order to still be able to offer our customers the full range, we have steadily built up a wide range of extra-long bed linen, which is why almost all our bed linen is also available in extra-long sizes. From the best Austrian down comforters in oversized sizes to a wide range of organic bed linen models in oversized sizes, you will find everything you need to get a good night's sleep at home.

You can find our bed linen and down range here - take a look around and see for yourself.

PS: We are also happy to make alterations to your bed linen by hand in our in-house workshop. Our master seamstress Akida will take care of your requests with passion and dedication and turn your wishes into reality.
