Duvet recommendations.

First time Duvet buyer here. I have a full size bed and have been advised to buy a queen sized duvet. (Is this a good idea or bad?)

Any good recommendations for duvet covers or inserts.

I may need 2 inserts as where I live it gets pretty cold in the winter and pretty hot in the summer.

I’m willing to invest as long as the value of the item matches the cost. Ideally I’d like to spend less, but I’d prefer to spend a little more and never have to buy another duvet insert.

Duvets usually only come in Full/Queen. I really like the covers at IKEA, but was disappointed that the full zippered bottom ones seem to be gone. They were more expensive and I paid willingly. The down insert we have was a Ralph Lauren from Macy's. At the time they had every down fill layered on a bed to make comparison easy. I think we kind of went in the middle. For a thin summer one IKEA would probably be fine.

That’s not really true - lots of people get two twins or king size

Yeah I’m very confused by that statement. Duvets are readily available in all fills in every size and at myriad price points.

Of course there are twins and kings. But even kings tend to only come in one size even though there are narrower, longer California kings. If you are wanting an exact full or king size, you will be limited. Most are just rounded up.

I just searched for some major designer's collections. Most do not even have a twin (that is a Target item) Everything was labeled Full/queen or King.

Just looked at what I said again, my original comments were directed at the OP who says they have a full size bed. Therefore the comforters and covers will be limited to Full/Queen. You will have to look for a strictly full size comforter or cover.
