King duvet for Queen bed?

I've always been bothered by my queen comforter not covering enough of the sides of our queen mattress.  What do you all do?  do you use a King size comforter?  i'm ready to buy a new duvet and a new down comforter so maybe I should upgrad to a King for a look that covers more of the bed. 

Re: King duvet for Queen bed?

  • When we had a queen we always used a King, I liked the look better.  Now that we have a King we just went with the King and it's fine too.

  • I bought a king duvet for our queen bed.  I was always bothered by the fact that you could still see the boxspring when the bed was made.  While I like the look when the bed is made I do find that we have too much duvet when we're sleeping (I often like to sleep partly out of the covers though).  So basically there are pros and cons to both options.
  • I always used a king duvet/comforter for our queen sized bed.  Now that we have a king, I miss the extra length... and there's nothing wider than a king, so I have to look for covers that measure a little wider since there is some variation.

    So anyway, yes, get king... you'll be happy you did!

  • I have always used the next larger size for duvet's and blankents.
  • We used to have a king bed but downsized to a queen.  We kept using the king duvet and now I would never go back to using the correct size!  I absolutely love the extra length and width, I like to snuggle up in the covers but it doesn't take away any covers from DH.  :)
