Our size guide

Quite simply, the size of the duvet cover should match your duvet. If you choose one that is too small, the duvet will fold in on itself inside, which is neither attractive nor comfortable.

On the other hand, if you choose a duvet cover that is too large, it will not be fully filled. You may find yourself with just a piece of fabric as your only cover in the middle of the night, which, admittedly, is not very pleasant.

Discover Embrin washed linen duvet covers!

You can choose from the following sizes: 140 x 200 cm, 200 x 200 cm, 240 x 220 cm, 260 x 240 cm and 280 x 240 cm. If you are unsure about the size of your duvet and cover, Embrin has prepared a small table to help you decide:

Bed size Duvet & cover dimensions
Single bed 90 x 190 cm 140 x 200 cm
Single bed 120 x 190 or 200 cm 200 x 200 cm
Double bed 140 x 190 or 200 cm 200 x 200 cm for a short drop
240 x 220 cm for a generous drop
Queen size bed 160 x 200 cm 240 x 220 cm for a short drop
260 x 240 cm for a generous drop
King size bed 180 or 200 x 200 cm 260 x 240 cm for a short drop
280 x 240 cm for a generous drop

Embrin also offers made-to-measure sizes if your duvet does not have a standard size.

Slate Blue Washed Linen Duvet Cover

Delighted with my purchase. Problem of a new duvet 3 m wide which needed a cover with special measurements. Phone call to check the size of the cover and discuss the colour before ordering. Immediate response and interesting exchange. A lovely French and family-run company. Well done.

Washed Linen Duvet Cover Caramel

It is a bit early to share my impressions on the quality of the linen sheets I ordered, especially as they are a Christmas present.
At first glance, the colours are beautiful. I chose caramel and honey. Before choosing the colour, I asked to be sent some swatches. That really helped me.
The pillowcases are lovely because they have a small, discreet and pretty frill which gives a good hold. I prefer this to the “bag” shape you often find elsewhere.
I did not dare unfold the sheets to check the texture of the fabric. I like linen that is tightly woven and thick. I hope I will not be disappointed. Embrin shows a weave of 180 mg. The sheets you usually find at 160 mg are too thin for my taste.
I love the offcut of fabric for making a gift wrap to tie around the set. It is really very pretty and an excellent idea!

Joli paquetage et beaux coloris

il est un peu tôt pour vous faire part de mes impressions sur la qualité des draps en lin que j’ai commandés, d’autant que c’est pour faire un cadeau de Noël.
À première vue, les couleurs sont magnifiques. J’ai choisi caramel et miel. Avant de choisir la couleur, j’ai demandé qu’on m’envoie des échantillons. Cela cela m’a bien aidé.
Les taies d’oreiller sont jolies car elles comportent un petit volant discret et joli qui permet une bonne tenue. Je préfère à la forme « sac » que l’on trouve ailleurs couramment.
Je n’ai pas osé déplier les draps pour vérifier la texture du tissu. J’aime le lin serré et épais. J’espère que je ne serai pas déçue. Embrin affiche un tissage à 180 mg. Les draps que l’on trouve couramment à 160 mg sont trop fins à mon goût.
J’adore la chute de tissu pour faire un emballage cadeau à nouer autour de la parure. C’est vraiment très joli et une excellente idée!

Washed Linen Duvet Cover Chalk

As with the flat sheet adopted since this summer, the chalk-coloured duvet is too and the combination with the forest-coloured pillowcases makes it look even better!

Housse de couette

Comme pour le drap plat adopté depuis cet été, la couette couleur craie l’est aussi et l’association avec les taies couleur forêt la sublime !
