Emperor duvet size
290 × 235 cm
114 × 93 in · United Kingdom · fits a 200 cm Emperor bed
About this size
A specialist British size sold with the Emperor bed. Covers for it come from the same suppliers as the beds rather than from a general retailer.
How much it hangs over
A duvet is not the size of the bed and is not meant to be. This one is 90 cm wider than the mattress, so it drops 45.0 cm on each side.
| Duvet width | 290 cm · 114 in |
| Length | 235 cm · 93 in |
| Mattress width | 200 cm |
| Overhang per side | 45.0 cm |
| Area | 6.8 m² |
Under about 25 cm of overhang the cover rides up as soon as anyone turns over, which is the real complaint behind "the duvet is too small" — usually it is the right size for the bed and the wrong size for two people.

Why is a Emperor duvet wider than a Emperor bed?
Because it has to hang over the sides. The bed is 200 cm wide and the duvet is 290, which leaves 45.0 cm on each side. Less than about 25 cm and the cover rides up and exposes the mattress whenever anyone turns over.

A Emperor bed, 200 cm wide. Its full dimensions are here.
What size duvet cover do I need?
The same as the duvet: 290 × 235 cm. Covers are sold to match the insert, not the bed — buying a cover by bed size is the usual reason one arrives too small.
