Duvet 135x200 cm – The Most Popular Size
The 135x200 cm duvet is the most common duvet size in Germany. It is ideal as a single duvet for people up to around 180 cm tall, whether used in a single or double bed.
Duvet 135x200 cm – The Tried-and-Tested Standard
A duvet 135x200 cm is suitable as a single duvet for most people up to around 180 cm tall. It provides plenty of room to move without hanging over the edge of a standard-sized bed.
If you’re 180 cm or taller, you could consider the next size up: the extra 20 cm length of the comfort-size duvet 155x220 cm gives you more room to stretch out than the standard size. If you’re feeling particularly romantic, why not try a double duvet for you and your favourite person to share?

What to Look for When Buying a Duvet 135x200 cm
- Filling material: A lightweight yet insulating material provides excellent sleeping comfort without weighing you down. Although down duvets meet these requirements, they often require more demanding care and involve animal suffering. Today, high-quality synthetic down alternatives are a suitable option.
- Warmth rating and filling weight: Whether you need a summer, winter or 4-seasons duvet, there is a suitable option for every level of warmth. The warmth rating is sometimes indicated by a number from 1 (very light) to 5 (very warm). The filling weight can vary depending on the insulating properties of the filling material.
- Cover material: Although you should always use a duvet 135x200 cm with suitable bed linen, the right outer material is still important. Choose a skin-friendly, breathable and antistatic cotton cover.
- Quilting: Well-made quilting keeps the duvet filling in place. This ensures even heat distribution and helps the duvet retain its shape.
- Care: Although daily shaking and airing are sufficient for everyday care, you should also be able to wash your duvet properly once or twice a year. More frequent washing may be advisable if you have allergies. Choose a duvet that is machine washable and dries quickly.
- Testing for harmful substances: As with all products that come into contact with the skin, look for materials that have been tested for harmful substances. Look out for labels such as Oeko-Tex® Standard 100.
Synthetic or Down Duvet 135x200 cm?
The down duvet 135x200 cm is a classic, but one that is now outdated. The fine filaments of the fluffy down clusters branch out in all directions, trapping a particularly large amount of air and slowing the loss of body heat. Ducks, geese and other birds have always relied on their down for protection from cold and moisture.
Thanks to modern technology, we no longer need to rely on the plumage of other living creatures to keep us warm at night. High-quality modern synthetic fibres perform almost as well as natural down. Synthetic duvets are also easier to care for than down duvets 135x200 cm and are less prone to clumping. All BODYGUARD® duvets are filled with 100 % high-quality polyester.
Summer Duvet 135x200 cm – Light and Airy All Summer Long
A summer duvet 135x200 cm is characterised by a low warmth rating and – depending on the insulating properties of the filling material – a relatively low filling weight. Do you tend to feel hot at night but simply can’t sleep without a duvet? Then a summer duvet 135x200 cm such as the BODYGUARD® Light Summer Duvet is the right choice for you.
Winter Duvet 135x200 cm – Snuggle Up When It’s Cold Outside
When the weather outside turns particularly unpleasant and you feel like snuggling up, choose a winter duvet 135x200 cm. Winter duvets generally contain more filling material, making them feel especially fluffy and cosy. Some models, such as the BODYGUARD® Warm Winter Duvet, are known as duo duvets. Duo duvets consist of two individual duvets quilted together, creating an air pocket between them. This provides additional insulation.
All-Season Duvet or 4-Seasons Duvet 135x200 cm?
The classic 4-seasons duvet 135x200 cm consists of two individual duvets fastened together with press studs. On warm days, the two sections can be separated, giving you two lighter duvets. An all-season duvet such as the BODYGUARD® Medium-Warmth All-Season Duvet can be a practical alternative to a 4-seasons duvet. Its medium warmth rating keeps you comfortably warm throughout the year. Ideal for anyone looking for a practical option – and perfect for the transitional seasons too!

The Right Bed Linen for Your Duvet 135x200 cm
Adjust the warmth of your duvet 135x200 cm to suit you by choosing the right bed linen. Satin bed linen is smooth and feels cool against the skin – ideal for the warmer months. In winter, you may prefer cosier fabrics such as flannel. The fine fibres of its brushed surface trap air and provide an additional insulating layer, creating a warmer feel against the skin.
Choose a summer, winter or all-season duvet depending on the time of year and your personal warmth preferences. These duvets generally differ in their filling weight and construction. When it comes to the filling, a high-quality synthetic material such as polyester is recommended.
135x200 cm is considered the standard size for single duvets in Germany and Austria. It is generally suitable for people up to around 180 cm tall. Other sizes are more common in other countries.
Bed Linen in 135x200 cm is the right choice for your duvet 135x200 cm. If you buy bed linen as a set, make sure the pillowcase is the correct size: most bed linen sets include a pillowcase 80x80 cm. If you have a narrow pillow 40x80 cm, look for a suitable set or buy the duvet cover and pillowcase separately.
Depending on their height, children can move up to the standard adult size 135x200 cm from around the age of around six. When it comes to children, looking for materials that have been tested for harmful substances is particularly important. Look out for Oeko-Tex®-certified materials. Machine-washable materials such as polyester and cotton are also recommended, as they are easier to clean if accidents happen. Warning: Infants and babies must always sleep without a duvet, as it poses a risk of suffocation!
It depends entirely on the material and filling weight. For reference, here are the weights of the BODYGUARD® duvets with a cotton cover and a filling made from 100 % high-quality polyester (total weight):
- BODYGUARD® Summer Duvet light 135x200 cm: approx. 1180 g
- BODYGUARD® All-Season Duvet medium warm 135x200 cm: approx. 1350 g
- BODYGUARD® Winter Duvet warm 135x200 cm: approx. 1630 g
