Camel hair duvet in 155×220 cm — the extra-large size for tall people, stomach sleepers, and anyone who needs freedom of movement in their sleep. We show you for whom this size truly makes sense and which fill weights suit which needs.
We are the BEFA specialist editorial team. Since 1994, we have been producing camel hair duvets in all standard sizes — and 155×220 cm is one of the fastest-growing sizes. The reason: The average German man has grown by about 3 cm since 1990, and the standard 135×200 is simply no longer enough for many.
Why 155×220 instead of standard 135×200?
The standard size 135×200 cm was standardized in the 1970s, when the average man in Germany was about 1.76 m tall. Today, the average is about 1.80 m — and anything over 1.85 m reaches the limit with a 200 cm duvet.
155×220 cm offers:
- 20 cm more length — feet and shoulders remain covered simultaneously.
- 20 cm more width — more leeway for side and back sleepers.
- Less "duvet hogging" when sleeping as a couple in a 140 cm bed (if each person uses their own 155×220 duvet).
Who is 155×220 suitable for?
- Tall people from 1.85 m body height — with the standard length of 200 cm, either shoulders or feet would be exposed.
- Restless sleepers / side sleepers — those who change position at night need extra width.
- Stomach sleepers — the duvet slips off less often if more material is available to tuck in.
- Couples in a 140 cm bed — the oversized as a second single duvet gives both people full freedom of movement.
- People who like to "wrap themselves in" — more surface area for wrapping.

Matching bedding in 155×220
An oversized duvet needs matching covers. When buying, pay attention to:
- Cover in 155×220 cm (do not use 135×200 — it will shrink and compress the filling).
- Natural materials: cotton, satin, percale, or linen. They support the breathability of the camel hair filling.
- Quality of the zipper — more important for oversized duvets, as the duvet is heavier.
Care in the oversized
A 155×220 duvet is larger and heavier than the standard size. For machine washing, you need at least an 8 kg washing machine. Alternatively: dry cleaning. The complete care instructions can be found in our guide Washing a camel hair duvet step by step.
