Oversized bedding 155x220 cm

Who is 155 × 220 cm made for?

The rule of thumb: the standard size becomes a tight fit for anyone around 1.85 to 1.90 m tall. This also applies to anyone, regardless of their height, who likes to have more duvet around them—if you toss and turn a lot while sleeping, a longer duvet makes it less likely that you’ll pull in cold air. If you’re under 1.85 m and sleep alone, the standard size of 135 × 200 cm is usually a better fit; it also offers the widest selection of designs.

The duvet makes the difference, not the bed

The most common mistake is choosing based on the width of the bed. What really matters is the duvet. Measure it before you order: a 155 × 220 cm duvet requires a 155 × 220 cm duvet cover. You cannot fit a standard cover over a 220 cm duvet—the fabric will pull tight, the filling will bunch up, and it will provide uneven warmth. Conversely, a 200 cm duvet will get lost in an oversized cover and bunch up in one corner. Our guide to bedding sizes explains this in detail.

Oversized qualities

At biberna, 155 × 220 cm is not a niche size; we stock it across the board—from winter fabrics to summer qualities:

• Melange Flannel—biberna’s specially developed evolution of classic flannel, extra soft and woven in our own weaving mill in Hamminkeln. The most popular quality in this length.
• Flannel and Fine Flannel—napped, lofty, and warm. The classic choice for cold nights.
• Mako Satin—smooth and cool, made from combed cotton in an atlas weave.
• TENCEL—temperature-regulating and therefore suitable all year round.
• Muslin and Seersucker—light and airy for warm nights, with seersucker also being non-iron.
• Linon, Jersey and Microfiber—the easy-care everyday qualities.

Equipping a large bed completely

An oversized cover alone is not enough to finish the bed. A longer cover also requires a fitted sheet that securely covers the larger sleeping area. Our Jersey Elastic Fitted Sheet covers up to 200 × 220 cm and sits wrinkle-free even on high mattresses; you can find all the dimensions for wide beds under Fitted Sheets 180–200 × 200 cm. What else matters for large beds is explained in the article Bedding for Oversized Beds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why 220 cm instead of 200 cm in length?
The extra 20 cm ensures that the duvet is not too short for tall people and can still be folded under at the foot of the bed.

Can standard bedding also fit a 220 cm duvet?
No. You need a cover that is just as long as your 220 cm duvet. A 200 cm cover will pull tight, and the duvet will bunch up inside it.

What pillow size is included?
All 155 × 220 cm sets come with an 80 × 80 cm pillowcase, the German standard size.

Is bedding also available in 200 × 220 cm?
We offer 155 × 220 cm as the longest size for duvet covers. The 200 × 220 cm size refers to the sleeping area and is covered by the fitted sheet, not the duvet cover.

Which quality is most popular in oversized sizes?
Melange Flannel and Fine Flannel—both for winter, because a longer duvet is chosen primarily when warmth is a factor.
