Double Quilt Covers

Getting the Right Fit for a Double Bed Quilt Cover

A standard Australian double bed measures 137 x 188cm, while a double quilt cover is typically 180 x 210cm. This gives your double doona or double bed quilt enough overhang on each side for a neat, comfortable finish. Double bed quilt covers are a practical choice for couples in smaller bedrooms, teenagers upgrading from a single bed or guest rooms where space is limited. Before buying a double doona cover, always compare the quilt cover dimensions with your doona or quilt insert to ensure a smooth fit without bunching or excess fabric. If you need to furnish multiple bedrooms, browse all quilt cover sizes including Single, Queen, King and Super King options.

Choosing the Best Material for Your Double Quilt Cover

Cotton is the most popular material in this range, with 43 cotton double quilt covers available. Cotton is breathable, durable and becomes softer with every wash, making it ideal for year-round comfort. MyHouse washed cotton and cotton linen blend designs deliver a relaxed, textured finish, while Bambury French Linen offers premium breathability that keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter. Eco-conscious shoppers can choose Bambury Temple organic cotton, while Ardor Boudoir vintage washed double bed doona covers provide lived-in softness straight from the packet. For hot sleepers, Protect-A-Bed Tencel double doona covers naturally regulate temperature and wick away moisture.

FAQs

What size is a double quilt cover?

A standard Australian double quilt cover measures approximately 180 x 210cm. It is designed to fit a double bed mattress measuring 137 x 188cm and provides enough overhang on each side for a neat, well-made appearance. When shopping for a double quilt cover or double doona cover, always check the measurements listed on the product page because sizing can vary slightly between MyHouse, Bambury, Ardor and other brands. Your quilt cover should match, or be slightly larger than, your doona or quilt insert so the filling sits evenly. If you prefer extra drape, a queen quilt cover measuring approximately 210 x 210cm can also be used on a double bed.

Can you use a queen quilt cover on a double bed?

Yes, a queen quilt cover can be used on a double bed. A queen cover is usually 210 x 210cm, which is around 30cm wider than a standard double quilt cover. This creates a fuller, more luxurious look with extra fabric hanging down the sides of the bed. However, if you place a double doona inside a queen quilt cover, the insert may shift or bunch because the cover is larger than the doona. For the best result, match a double doona with a double bed quilt cover, or size up both the doona and cover together.

What size doona should I use for a double bed?

For a double bed measuring 137 x 188cm, choose a double doona or quilt insert measuring approximately 180 x 210cm. This is the standard size for a double bed doona and matches most double quilt covers. It provides comfortable coverage without too much excess fabric. When choosing your doona, consider the warmth rating and filling. Lightweight options are ideal for summer, while all-seasons and winter-weight doonas provide extra warmth. Popular fill choices include wool, down, microfibre and breathable Tencel blends.

Will a double doona fit a king single bed?

A double doona measuring approximately 180 x 210cm will fit over a king single bed, which measures 107 x 203cm, but it will have noticeably more overhang on each side. Some people prefer this generous look and extra coverage, particularly for teenagers or cooler weather. If you use a double doona on a king single bed, you will also need a matching double quilt cover. For a more tailored finish, a King Single quilt cover is the better choice.

What materials are best for a double bed doona cover?

The best material for a double bed doona cover depends on your preferences and sleeping style. Cotton is the most versatile option because it is breathable, durable and softens over time. French linen from Bambury is ideal if you want a naturally textured look and year-round temperature regulation. Organic cotton is perfect for eco-conscious shoppers, while vintage washed cotton from Ardor Boudoir delivers instant softness. If you tend to sleep hot, Protect-A-Bed Tencel is an excellent choice because it helps regulate temperature and wick away moisture.

Are double quilt covers sold as sets?

Many double quilt covers are available as complete quilt cover sets, which include the quilt cover and matching pillowcase or pillowcases. At MyHouse, there are 16 quilt cover sets available alongside 39 standalone quilt covers. Sets make it easy to create a coordinated bedroom look, while standalone covers are useful if you already have matching pillowcases or want to mix and match your bedding.
