Bedlinen Sizing
Our Designers Guild and Orla Kiely bedlinen is designed and made for the UK market which has slightly different standard duvet sizes than we do here in New Zealand.
We have converted the sizes to suit the NZ market and so when shopping online at smallacorns.co.nz you simply need to select the size according to the size of your NZ duvet (or Aussie doona) inner.
These UK sized duvet covers will be slightly larger than your standard NZ duvet, but we think that’s good as it means you’ve got a little extra beautiful bedlinen to snuggle into at night!
The one exception to this is if you have a NZ Queen size duvet, you are very lucky as you can fit your duvet into either the queen or double sizes. Depending on if you want the cover to fit tightly around your inner (buy a double) or be slightly larger and hang a bit further down the sides of your bed (buy a queen).
For those of you who like a bit more info here are the NZ v’s UK sizes:
Small Acorns Single:
UK Single 135cm x 200cm fits NZ Single 140cm x 210cm
Small Acorns Double:
UK Double 200cm x 200cm fits NZ Double 180cm x 210cm and NZ Queen 210cm x 210cm
Small Acorns Queen:
UK king 230cm x 220cm fits NZ Queen 210cm x 210cm
Small Acorns King / Super King:
UK Super King 260cm x 220cm fits NZ King 245cm x 210cm and
Super King 265cm x 210cm
We understand this can seem confusing, but the team at Small Acorns has now been dealing with UK to NZ bedlinen conversions for years since we stared carrying the Designers Guild bedlinen range in early 2007. If you’re still unsure of exactly what size you need please feel free to call our team on 0800 22 67 67 within NZ (+ 64 4 499 5795 international) and we’d love to discuss bedlinen with you!
