In Europe, with its cultural and geographical diversity, even everyday items like duvets have their own unique characteristics that reflect local traditions and customs. Traveling across the continent, you'll notice that standard duvet sizes vary from country to country, and each region has its own preferences for comfort and sleeping style.
Duvet sizes in Poland and other European countries

An alpaca wool duvet can be used in both summer and winter, depending on the model chosen.
