Plain Duvet Cover Set with Pillowcases: sizes, colours and how to choose

8 July 2026

The Plain Duvet Cover Set with Pillowcases is one of the beddings we stock at Daffodil Collections. It sits in our Duvet Cover Sets range, and this is the short version of what you need to know before you choose a size.

How to choose

A UK bed is built in layers and each one does a different job: a protector to keep the mattress clean, a fitted sheet, a duvet in the right tog for the season, and pillows chosen for how you sleep rather than how they look. Buying a matched set is the easy route; buying the layers separately is how you get a bed that suits you.

Size first, then fibre, then colour. A duvet cover is cut for the DUVET and not for the bed, so a king duvet in a double cover is the most common mistake we see — and the one that is hardest to live with.

The sizes it comes in

UK bed names are consistent between retailers; what is not consistent is the mattress underneath them, so measure yours before ordering. These are the sizes this one is made in, with the mattress each is cut for.

SizeThe mattress it fits
Single90 x 190 cm (3ft x 6ft 3in)
Double135 x 190 cm (4ft 6in x 6ft 3in)
King150 x 200 cm (5ft x 6ft 6in)
Super King180 x 200 cm (6ft x 6ft 6in)

If your bed falls between two of these, size up: a fitted sheet that is slightly generous tucks, and one that is slightly tight pulls its corners off in the night.

Colours and pack sizes

There are 7 colourways: White, Ochre, Charcoal, Blush, Black, Grey, Cream. Colour is the one decision here that is purely yours — but if this is going into a room that is let or shared, the darker shades hide a coffee ring and the palest ones photograph best.

For hotels, B&Bs and holiday lets

Bedsheets for hotels and B&Bs are washed at a temperature and a frequency no household matches, so the things that matter are the seams, the elastic and how the colour holds. That is why the hospitality trade buys in quantity and in one colour: a matched stock of quality hotel beddings is what makes a linen cupboard workable.

If you are buying for a business, our trade account is where the wholesale beddings pricing lives — the terms are on that page and they are read from the account, not from this article.
