True California King sized duvet cover

last month

Hi - I have a California King sized down comforter inherited from my great uncle which is so fluffy and light and perfect , but am having trouble finding anyone who makes a duvet cover that will fit well. Queen/oversized queen is too small and most King sized covers are too floppy. The duvet measure 100x86. Any advice where to look. I don't think I can afford something custom.

Simply have any curtain seamstress reduce the width on any king ( equal reduction, both long sides ) to match the narrower WIDTH. of the CALIFORNIA. THE LENGTH IS IRRELEVANT. The California is longer, will fit in nicely I can assure you.

Got a friend with a sewing machine? Same advice. When I do custom for a client? It is at least four inches smaller in both length and width, than the ACTUAL duvet. A duvet is not meant to be a "bedspread/comforter. That's a USA "thing" . That is how you get a full and fluffy look, make it smaller than the fill. I put a queen in a twin, a king in a queen duvet,............etc: )

if you want a splurge ? Try "Rough Linen" They make luxury 100% linen duvet covers size specific to Cal King, 425.00. White and six other colors.

On their site? Read below : ) It is truth

Product Information

A duvet cover should fit the infill snugly - up to 6" smaller all around - to ensure that it doesn't shift. I have even put a king infill into a queen cover, with cosy results. Please measure your duvet, as infill sizes are not standard.

Duvet Cover

In Canada and, possibly the US, what we call duvets are filled with a synthetic filling ,a feather mixture or pure eiderdowwn and the price varies accordingly.There was a thread on duvets some time ago and I think one of the differences between Canadians and Europeans is that we use a sheet with a duvet over the top and thus the cover doesn't need to be removed and washed as often. I recall Islay in that thread saying they just used the duvet itself. I have had a duvet for many years and have made several covers for it, always with ties, probably because sometime suggested it but I'm sure not using ties works just as well .In the summer I take the duvet out and just use the cover on the bed. Whatever and however, they are certainly the cosiest bedcoverings I know of.

King versus California King
Q
Comments (16)
We have had a Cal King for 20 years. We just bought new bedroom furniture and got a beautiful sleigh bed with dresser and night stands. The store we bought it from ordered the Cal King bed frame from the furniture company. We couldn't be more pleased. Not all manufacturers offer that size though. This isn't the place we got it from (we bought it from a local store), but here is a picture from an online retailer of the bed frame (only this is a queen size) so you can see what it. http://www.beckerfurnitureworld.com/Item.aspx?ItemID=1323391545&ItemNum=I85-404%2b405%2b406 Lane Furniture also makes beds in Cal King. I was glad to learn from reading this thread that King size sheets fit Cal King beds. I'll have to try that. I'm located in Virginia and Cal King sheets are not in stores around here, so I have ordered Cal King sheets and a heated mattress pad online in the past. Fortunately, I don't need to buy sheets very often. Here is a link that might be useful: Aspenhome Chateau De Vin bed

Buying PB 'Vanessa' duvet cover - which pillows?
Q
Comments (7)
I have the Vanessa duvet (queen size) which I have paired with an ivory matalesse coverlet. I also debated what to do for the shams and whether to get the euros or standard sized ones. I first bought the euros and paired that with matalesse standard shams. I don't have a pic of it together with the duvet, but hopefully you can get the idea: As I preferred using the duvet at the base, I wasn't too enamoured with this look, felt too much of the pattern was hidden by ivory shams so eliminated the matalesse shams and exchanged the euros for the standard sized ones like so: I liked this much better, but still felt something was missing so ended up finding some ivory ruffled euroshams and a decorative center pillow which I felt completed the look: Not sure if you can tell, but in the last pic there is no duvet insert, the second one there is. I plan to use the insert seasonally. HTH!

Compact Miele Rocks a King Duvet Cover
Q

@Enduring: I've been doing some reading on other threads (both here and at AW) about the Water+ settings and the Maximum Water Level settings. These appear to have the same effects in both your machine and in the w48xx machines. From what I have gathered, the "Water+ / Water+ & Addt'l rinse" setting modifies what function your Sensitive button serves when activated. Have you been activating Sensitive with your last few cycles? If not, do so and report back. This could be why it doesn't seem like anything has changed! The "Maximum Water Level" setting activates Level III rinsing in all but the custom cycles (so, Normal, Wrinkle Free, MasterCare, etc.). I believe this is the setting Roc had activated by her Miele tech this week.

Unless she is using sheets? I will have seams. Not the end of the world...............but a duvet is best with none, and the lightest possible weight. I won't even do them for clients anymore. Too much fabric...... ( 12 yards with no fabric repeat!! ) and most times too heavy to lift and fluff adequately on a daily basis or needing dry cleaning if silk..... which never smells as fresh as the wash.. Or the dog sleeps on it. Or the kids watch tv : ( on it. I'm beyond over custom bedding. Plenty of luxury is out there, WITHOUT it. Shams? A lumbar? Fine.

I agree with Jan. If you can't already find a cover exactly the right size, then the easiest solution is to find one that's slightly too big have it tailored down. Anyone with a sewing machine could do it no matter what their skill level. Just be sure it has a simple edge - no piping or color blocking or anything.

I've heard it said that the insert should be one size larger than the cover for a duvet to look right. This link might help you with calculating the difference between sizes and then you could have one sewn that is a tad smaller than the duvet you have.

Try Pottery Barn or West Elm. Be sure to check the dimensions before you order. A lot of companies make sheets/duvets for Cal King narrower than a King, but the same length.

Retailers do not want the inventory burden to support Cal King, It's simply too limited a market., Most couple have KING. It is No different that Full/Queen ARE LUMPED TOGETHER FOR ALL BUT FITTED SHEETS.

No to Macy. no to Pottery Barn No to RH NO .......... all but a mere handful of luxury options exist

Shrink it on a sewing machine. : ) is easiest/cheapest/ fastest.
