Understanding the IKEA duvet range
IKEA sells over 20 different duvets (also called IKEA quilts).
We'll explore the various duvet fillings and tog options to help you make the right choice for your perfect slumber.
So, sit back, relax, and let us be your duvet guide! 😎
IKEA duvet fillings
IKEA has two popular duvet fillings: polyester and feather and down.
Generally speaking, choosing the right IKEA duvet materials will help you get a cosy night's sleep.
Let's take a closer look at each of these!
IKEA polyester duvets
IKEA offers a range of polyester duvets suitable for various needs and coming in at very different prices.
The IKEA UK polyester duvet range has several different products, including the IKEA Silvertopp Duvet, IKEA Säfferot Duvet, IKEA Småsporre Duvet, IKEA Grusstarr Duvet, IKEA Stjärnbräcka Duvet, and the IKEA Strandmolke Duvet.
Generally speaking, IKEA polyester duvets are better for those with a limited budget.
However, some of these duvets can get pretty expensive (we're looking at you, Strandmolke and Stjärnbräcka). 👀
Many are happy with their polyester duvets and consider them good value for money.
But, of course, not everyone loves them. 😞
For instance, while most people find the best-seller IKEA Småsporre Duvet warm and cosy, others reckon it's stiff and bulky.
Some customers also say IKEA's polyester duvets aren't breathable and cause overheating.
For an affordable duvet that won’t leave you sweating, we suggest looking at the Fine Bedding Night Owl duvet.
IKEA feather and down duvets
IKEA's feather and down duvets are popular among those who prefer a more luxurious feel.
They offer 3 different feather and down duvets in the UK, including the IKEA Fjällarnika Duvet, IKEA Fjällbräcka Duvet, and the IKEA Fjällhavre Duvet.
The price of the IKEA feather duvets varies drastically, with the most expensive options topping out at well over £100. 🙀
Reviews on these IKEA down duvets also vary significantly.
Some customers find them perfectly cosy, while others are disappointed with the warmth, odour, price, and plastic feel of these duvets. 🤨
IKEA duvet togs
IKEA offers a variety of duvet togs to suit your needs, whether you're a warm or cool sleeper. 😴
What are tog ratings?
Tog stands for the 'Thermal Overall Grade'.
It indicates the duvet's ability to trap air and how warm it feels. 🛌
Most people choose their duvet togs based on the season.
You'll generally need a higher tog during colder seasons like winter and a lower tog that sleeps cooler during warmer summer months.
People also tend to be naturally warmer or cooler, meaning they may sleep better with a warmer duvet even in warmer months and vice versa. ☀️
You know yourself best!
What tog are IKEA duvets?
IKEA duvets mainly come in 4, 7.5, and 12 togs, with some also available in 2.5 or 13.5 togs.
Handily, these are also divided into easy-to-understand light-warm (4 togs), warm (7.5 togs), and extra-warm (12 togs) categories.
You should be aware that duvets with the same tog rating may feel different depending on the filling. 🤔
For instance, feather and down duvets usually feel warmer but are still more breathable (which is helpful for warm sleepers).
IKEA weighted duvets
While not technically a duvet, weighted blankets are just what some people want.
Weighted blankets are heavier than regular duvets and provide a comforting, deep pressure on your body. 🤗
Generally, they're filled with materials like glass beads or plastic pellets, which give them their signature weight.
These blankets are often used to help reduce anxiety [1], stress, and sleep disorders, as the extra weight can mimic the feeling of being hugged or swaddled. 😌
If you're interested in trying one out, choosing the right weight for your body is essential.
Generally, a blanket that's around 10% of your body weight is ideal. 💡
Unfortunately, there is only one IKEA weighted blanket, the Odonvide weighted blanket.
This IKEA weighted blanket has a 2.5 tog rating, so it is best suited to those who want something heavier but not too warm.
Plastic pellets weigh down the Odonvide, which comes in just 3 total weight options.
These include:
- IKEA weighted blanket: 6 kg (13.3 lbs).
- IKEA weighted blanket: 8 kg (17.6 lbs).
- IKEA weighted blanket: 10 kg (22 lbs).
The blanket is popular among customers, with many saying it is comforting and helps them sleep. 😴
How to choose the right duvet
A duvet can make all the difference when it comes to a good night's sleep. 😴
Unfortunately, finding the best duvet can be tricky.
Personal preferences, allergies, partners and the weather are just some of what you'll need to consider.
Tog ratings (how warm a duvet is) and the materials used are often the main deciders in how comfy we find a duvet.
A duvet is essential for reaching an optimal sleeping temperature. 💤
Being too hot or cold is linked to increases in wakefulness [2] and decreases in both deep (slow wave) and REM (rapid eye movement) sleep.
So, essentially, the wrong duvet could leave you too hot or cold and, ultimately, tired and grumpy the next day.
IKEA duvets are some of the most easily accessible and affordable options in the UK. 👏
While they may seem an obvious choice, many have concerns about product quality, suitability, and even sustainability. 😴
We'll guide you through the duvet maze, factoring in all essentials.
From sizes to togs, materials to allergies, and even the best options for couples, individuals, or children, we've got your back. 💪
Let's delve into the nitty-gritty duvet details.
Sizes
When it comes to IKEA duvet sizes, there are a few factors to consider. 🛏️
Firstly, think about the size of your bed.
You'll want to select a duvet that's the same size or larger than your bed.
If you get cold easily, a larger duvet will trap more air, keeping you cosier and warmer. 🔥
Taking all of these factors into account will help you make the best choice and get a good night's sleep.
Materials
As we know, IKEA duvets come in 2 materials (feather & down and polyester).
Polyester is appealing due to its affordability, low maintenance, and hypoallergenic nature. 😊
However, polyester can cause overheating and sweating, making it a poor match for warm sleepers.
On the other hand, feather and down duvets are a luxurious natural option, offering a delightfully fluffy and cosy feel. 🦢
But bear in mind that they may not be ideal for those with allergies or looking for vegan-friendly bedding.
A great alternative may be wool duvets, which provide excellent temperature regulation and dust mite resistance but can be more expensive and denser. 🐑
Unfortunately, you're out of luck if you are looking for an IKEA wool duvet since these are not stocked in the UK.
Another less common alternative is bamboo duvets (also not sold in IKEA).🐼
They are known for their sustainable nature and softness and are an ideal eco-conscious choice.
We love the Panda Cloud Bamboo Duvet.
It's environmentally friendly, silky soft, and offers a 30-night trial and a 5-year guarantee. 🌿
While it's only available in a 10.5 tog rating, the bamboo filling has excellent thermo-regulating properties.
Togs
IKEA offers duvets in 2.5, 4, 7.5, 12, and 13.5 tog ratings, which can also be categorised by warmth (cool, light-warm, warm, and extra-warm).
You should choose a duvet tog rating based on the season and your personal preferences.
Lower tog ratings are better suited for warmer seasons and those who tend to sleep hot, providing a cooler and more comfortable night's sleep.
On the flip side, higher tog ratings are perfect for colder seasons and individuals who feel chilly at night, as they provide extra warmth and insulation. 🔥
Most people need a different tog rating for winter and summer.
However, you can use an all-season duvet, which should keep you warm enough in winter and cool enough in the summer.
Unfortunately, IKEA doesn't sell any all-season duvets.
You should check out the all-season Simba Hybrid Duvet with its recycled fibre filling and excellent temperature regulation to keep you comfy on hot and cold nights. 💤
Price
When choosing a product, whether an IKEA duvet or something much larger, there's no avoiding the matter of budget.
You don't want to spend more than you can afford. 💰
Similarly, you may prefer a higher-quality product that lasts longer if you can afford it.
While IKEA's lower-end duvets cannot be beaten for price, with the cheapest coming in at under a tenner, their mid-range options are comparable to sleep specialist brands.
One common issue we've seen across IKEA products is that quality can be unreliable across price ranges and even with the exact same item.
Ultimately, we suggest sticking with IKEA duvets if you're looking for the cheapest option. 👍
If you are willing to pay a little more for a better product, we suggest looking at Emma Cloud Duvet.
The microfibre duvet isn't the cheapest, but it's comparable to, and in some cases, less expensive than IKEA's higher-end duvets.
You can also often find the Emma Cloud on sale, meaning you'll get an even better price!
Couples
In couples, there's often one person guilty of stealing the duvet during the night. 😴
If you live with a cover-hog (or are one), opt for a bigger duvet to prevent any midnight tussles.
Or you could even adopt the Scandinavian practice of sleeping with 2 separate duvets.
Sleeping with 2 duvets with different tog ratings can help if you and your partner run at mismatched temperatures. ☀️❄️
The Hypnia All Seasons duvet comes with two different layers that can be separated.

IKEA duvet sizes
When it comes to IKEA duvets, you'll typically be looking at 3 sizes.
These include:
- IKEA single duvets.
- IKEA double duvets.
- IKEA king-size duvets.
This means you won't find the less common sizes, like IKEA super-king duvets or small double duvets.
Typically, duvets are slightly larger than their mattress equivalent.
However, keep in mind that IKEA single and king-size duvets are a little wider than standard UK sizes.
| IKEA Size (Width x Length) | Standard UK Size (Width x Length) | |
| Single | 150 x 200 cm (4'11" x 6'6") | 135 x 200 cm (4'4" x 6'6") |
| Double | 200 x 200 cm (6'6" x 6'6") | 200 x 200 cm (6'6" x 6'6") |
| King-Size | 240 x 220 cm (7'9"2 x 7'2") | 230 x 220 cm (7'5" x 7'2") |
The difference in width might seem trivial, but this means that some IKEA duvets won't snugly fit standard UK duvet covers.
So, if you're picking up an IKEA single or IKEA king duvet, remember to check the dimensions of your duvet cover, or you can purchase new IKEA UK duvet covers to match. 👍
Or, if you want a duvet that comes in a better range of sizes, you can take a look at the cosy Emma Cloud Duvet.
IKEA duvets for kids and babies
Typically, children can safely use single duvets.
But those under 6 will need something with a lower tog rating (of around 4.5).
Since children are smaller, duvets naturally trap more air, keeping them warm without needing the extra weight. 😀
There are 6 different IKEA duvets with 4 or 4.5 togs, perfect for children.
Alternatively, you may need a smaller size if your child is not yet in a standard bed, for instance, if they sleep in a cot bed.
If your child is under 1, they should not sleep with a duvet. 🙅
If your child is over 1, you'll be able to find a couple of IKEA cot duvets.

IKEA duvet prices
As we've mentioned previously, IKEA duvet prices can vary significantly.
The cheapest options can be under £10, while the most expensive stretch all the way up to £200. 🤯
Just a heads up, though, a higher price tag doesn't always mean good quality.
While the more expensive items tend to receive positive reviews, this isn't always true, and some higher-end IKEA duvets disappoint customers.
Generally speaking, IKEA duvets are ideal for those on a tighter budget who don't need something that will last forever, like students.
Your perfect duvet should suit your personal preferences, budget, and durability requirements. 🛏️
For instance, some people buy a pricier duvet (like the IKEA feather and down Fjällhavre), only to find they hate how heavy it feels and would much prefer a lighter and cheaper synthetic option.
Ultimately, if you're willing to pay for a mid-range duvet, we'd suggest opting for something with better customer service and returns policies just in case you don't love it.

IKEA duvet delivery and returns
IKEA offers home delivery and in-store collection options for most sleep accessories, including duvets.
Now, for the not-so-good side - unlike some other big players in the market, IKEA doesn't exactly roll out the red carpet with their delivery services.
So don't expect free shipping if you decide to get an IKEA duvet. 🚚
In terms of returns, IKEA is quite generous, boasting a 365-day return policy on all its products.
However, this return offer only stands if the duvet is in its original, unopened packaging. 📦
If you haven't opened the duvet and want to return it, you'll have to make the trip to your local IKEA or sort out shipping yourself.
So if you're on the fence about buying a new duvet and like to try before you buy, other brands might suit your shopping style better.
Regarding trials and hassle-free returns, you can't beat home-grown brands like Panda London. 🏆
The silky-soft, all-season Panda Cloud Duvet comes with a 30-night trial (which we don't see too often with duvets).
What else does IKEA sell?
When it comes to variety, few stores have as many options as IKEA.
They have an extensive range of home goods, including everything needed to kit out your bedroom.
The IKEA bedroom range includes:
- IKEA beds.
- IKEA day beds.
- IKEA mattresses.
- IKEA sofa beds.
- IKEA mattress toppers.
- IKEA pillows.
- IKEA bedding linen.
Given the number of low-cost items they sell, it's easy to see why IKEA is so popular. 👍
Should you buy an IKEA duvet?
If you're short on cash and don't need something that will last forever, an IKEA duvet could be just what you need. 👍
However, you should know that IKEA duvets are wider than the UK standard and can vary significantly in price and quality.
In particular, IKEA's lack of free delivery and complicated returns process let their duvets down.
While your perfect duvet will depend mainly on your preferences, it's worth checking out other brands for better quality and customer service. ⭐

Frequently asked questions
-
Are IKEA duvets standard size?
IKEA offers duvets in three main sizes.
These include:
- IKEA duvet, single size.
- IKEA duvet, double size.
- IKEA duvet, king-size.
Unfortunately, there is no IKEA super king duvet size available.
It's essential to note that IKEA duvets king-size and single are a tad wider than the standard UK sizes.
The IKEA duvets single sizes have a width of 150 cm compared to the 135 cm of a standard UK single duvet, while the doubles are 240 cm wide compared to the 230 cm of most UK double duvets.
Yet the IKEA duvets double sizes are the same as the UK standard.
Generally, this is fine, but it may mean your bedding doesn't fit perfectly.
-
Are IKEA duvets good?
Whether IKEA duvets are good or not depends mainly on personal preference and expectation.
Many customers rave about their IKEA duvets, awarding them fantastic ratings.
They have easy-care designs, making them highly practical, are available in a range of warmth (togs), and are mostly reasonably priced.
However, it's not all sweet dreams in IKEA duvet-land.
Several customers have mentioned their duvets emitting a mysterious plastic rustling sound - not exactly an ideal lullaby.
There's also IKEA's somewhat complicated delivery and return processes.
And the overall quality of the duvets is a bit of a lucky dip, with some customers running into issues almost immediately and others having nothing but positive experiences.
So while IKEA duvets can be a great choice, it's worth doing your homework (especially if you're thinking about one of their more expensive duvets)!
-
What tog are IKEA duvets?
IKEA duvets come in various tog ratings, meaning a range of warmth options.
You can find duvets rated at 2.5, 4, 7.5, 12, and 13.5 togs.
These tog ratings go from cool to extra warm.
A duvet with a lower tog rating, such as 2.5 or 4 togs, is perfect for those warmer nights or for those of us who tend to overheat faster than a smartphone in the sun.
At the other end of the scale, 12 and 13.5 tog duvets are like a cosy hug on a cold night, great for when the weather outside is less than delightful.
And for those Goldilocks sleepers who like it not too hot, not too cold, there's the 7.5 tog duvet.
-
What do the dots on IKEA duvets mean?
In the past, IKEA duvets used a colour-coded dot system to indicate the warmth level of their duvets.
Blue dots represented light warm, a red dot signified warm, and two red dots meant you were getting an extra warm duvet.
However, IKEA has since upgraded their system to a universal approach - using thermometers to provide information on the duvet's warmth (tog) rating.
For those unfamiliar, tog ratings are a measure of thermal insulation, simply meaning how warm a duvet will feel.
Duvets with less than 4 togs are generally categorised as cool, ideal for summer or those who run extra hot.
Duvets with 7.5 togs are classified as warm, ideal for slightly cooler seasons.
Finally, a rating of 12 to 13.5 togs is deemed extra warm, perfect for those cold winter nights or if you're constantly feeling chilly.
-
Can IKEA duvets be washed?
The quick answer is yes, IKEA duvets are machine-washable!
Your IKEA duvet can take a spin up to 60ºC, and high temperatures like these are perfect for eradicating any unwanted germs.
Most synthetic (lyocell and polyester) IKEA duvets can be washed regularly.
However, IKEA recommends that customers only machine wash their natural fill duvets (feather and down) infrequently to avoid compacting the feathers.
Frequent washing can affect the duvet's quality and longevity, so it's better to limit washes where possible, for instance, by using a duvet cover.
-
Does IKEA sell coverless duvets?
Unfortunately, IKEA coverless duvets are not currently available.
While you can wash their other duvets, using a duvet cover is still recommended for protection and comfort.
If you are keen to try out a coverless duvet, you can always try the famous Night Owl Coverless Duvet (which we loved).
-
When does IKEA have sales?
While IKEA's regular prices are usually affordable, you'll discover even better deals if you shop in the sales.
You'll find that IKEA usually offers special prices twice a year, during their biggest sales events, typically in the summer and winter.
Though in the past, these events were primarily in-store, IKEA has embraced the digital age and begun featuring more sale items online since the start of the pandemic.
Generally, you'll still have better luck hunting for IKEA sales bargains by hitting their stores.
If you're not buzzing about having to leave the comfort of your home to find a good deal, you can always check out other brands.
For instance, Emma is pretty well-known for running frequent sales (you'll find more about it on our discounts page).
-
Does IKEA sell bedding?
As well as duvets and pillows, IKEA sells a wide range of bedding, such as best-sellers Dvala and Nattjasmin IKEA duvets covers.
The IKEA bedding range includes:
- IKEA bed linens.
- IKEA duvet covers.
- IKEA duvet sets.
- IKEA fitted sheets.
- IKEA pillowcases.
- IKEA mattress protectors.
- IKEA pillow protectors.
But you will find bedding in all sizes, from IKEA single duvet covers to king-size fitted sheets.
You can learn more about your bedding options in our IKEA bedding review.
The fact that IKEA sells everything you need to kit out a bedroom is undoubtedly one of the reasons for its popularity.
