Buying duvet covers in Bangladesh
A duvet cover is the removable, washable case for a filled duvet, so the bed can be changed without laundering the duvet itself. Covers are usually cotton or cotton-polyester. Retailers abroad sell them in sets with pillowcases; in Bangladesh, hotels, serviced apartments and homes that use a duvet without a top sheet wash the cover as often as the bottom sheet.
Fit comes first: a cover too large lets the duvet shift, and one too small bunches it. Roptan gives the duvet cover manufacturer in Bangladesh your duvet's own measurements, places the order with a verified mill, and checks the washed sample on a duvet of that size.
Details a duvet cover manufacturer in Bangladesh needs
- Duvet size, not bed size
- Measure the duvet seam to seam. A duvet is typically 20 to 30 cm wider and longer than its mattress, and the cover follows the duvet, not the bed.
- Size names by market
- Retail guides list a UK king cover at 225 or 230 x 220 cm and a US king at about 264 x 229 cm, so write centimetres, not names.
- The word itself
- In US English a comforter usually has no cover and 'duvet' often means the cover; Australians say doona cover. Write 'cover for a filled duvet' on the brief.
- Cloth and thread count
- Weave, fibre and thread count, usually about 180 to 400 per square inch for covers, with the unit and the test method, ASTM D3775 or ISO 7211-2.
- Closure and corners
- Buttons, ties or an envelope flap, the width of the opening, and whether ties or loops are sewn inside the corners.
Tests and certificates for duvet covers
- ISO 13935-2, ISO 13936-1 and ASTM D1683
- Seam strength by the grab method, yarn slippage at seams in woven cloth, and sewn-seam failure, for the closure and corners that carry the strain.
- ISO 5077 with ISO 6330
- Shrinkage after washing and drying: the test that shows whether the cover will still fit the duvet after laundry.
- ISO 105-C06, X12 and E04
- Colour fastness to washing, rubbing and perspiration for dyed and printed covers, graded on the ISO grey scales.
- OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and GOTS
- Covers are bed linen, in OEKO-TEX product class 2 for direct skin contact. A GOTS organic label needs every company in the chain certified.
Lead times and delivery
Plain white covers usually ship sooner than printed ones. A print needs a strike-off, a dyed colour a lab dip, and a new size a fit sample on the duvet. Shrinkage, seam and fastness tests before bulk add time. Roptan confirms the dates and the minimum per design and size in the quote.
Inside Bangladesh, Roptan delivers covers folded, with any pillowcases, packed by size and design, with the packing list, lab reports and a VAT invoice (Mushak 6.3). Hotels should send one duvet, or its measured size, with the first order, so the sample is checked on the real thing.
Buying duvet covers for export
Roptan quotes FOB Chattogram. A cover has no filling, so it is usually not classed with filled duvets, which sit under HS 9404 as stuffed bedding; your broker confirms the cover's line. For the US, 16 CFR Part 303 covers beddings, covers included: label the fibre content, company name or registered number, and country of manufacture.
Questions buyers ask
How big should the cover be compared with the duvet?
About the same as the duvet, measured seam to seam. One retail guide says a cover slightly smaller than the duvet gives a snug fit, as long as it does not squash the fill, while a larger one lets the duvet shift. Send the duvet's measured size, not the bed's name.
Do you make covers for US comforters?
Yes, but agree the words first. In US English a comforter usually has no cover, and 'duvet' often means the cover itself. Say that you want a cover for a filled insert, give the insert size in centimetres, and approve a sample on it.
Which closure suits hotel use?
It depends on housekeeping and laundry. Buttons and ties are the usual closures, and ties have no buttons to replace. An envelope flap has no parts at all but must overlap enough to stay shut. Ask for inner corner ties or loops if your duvets have them.
Can you print our own design?
Yes. Send the artwork and colour standards; the mill prints a strike-off for approval before bulk. Ask for colour fastness to washing, rubbing and perspiration, ISO 105-C06, X12 and E04, on the printed cloth, since a cover is washed as often as a sheet.
How soon will I hear back about home textiles?
Within 48 hours of a complete requirement, with a price and a delivery date. A requirement is complete when it has the quantity, where it is needed and by when.
