I've seen for twin the following sizes:
86x66
84x66
84x64
Etc...

Which is standard? I want to be able to easily buy duvet covers online..

Thanks!

Yea... It's very annoying. Sometimes the standard is not so standard. I've had that with a duvet that was just a little too short for our covers and with one just a little too long. It's a pain but usually off by just an inch and workable.

Thanks for replying! Would you say it's better to have the comforter slightly longer or the duvet cover longer?
(Of course is rather them the same when possible!)

I'd rather them a drop shorter. If they are longer, the quilt tends to "get lost" in the cover. OTOH I don't mind if it's a bit overstuffed.

I've had the opposite experience. I had one that was a drop shorter and the comforter moved around in the duvet cover all the time. I didn't like to sleep with it. Now I have one that's a drop top long and as long as I shake it well it works out better.
My best experience was when I purchased the comforter at the store that I usually buy duvet from. But I did pay more then double that time so when I needed new ones I bought elsewhere.
That said, I believe that standard size may be 84x64 and that is what the package should say. It's just that sometimes the measurements of the contents within the package is a drop off. Smile
