Summer is back, the nights are warm, the windows are open… and the mosquitoes are taking advantage. When two people are sleeping together, the question of choosing a mosquito net is even more important: you have to protect two people, maintain enough space to move freely, and avoid turning the bedroom into a camping tent.
Here is a comparison of the three main types of mosquito nets for double beds, with their real advantages and disadvantages.
1. The suspended voile : a decorative but not ideal solution
The suspended voile mosquito net is a classic choice. A lightweight fabric hung from the ceiling that drapes around the bed like a canopy. It’s aesthetically pleasing, romantic, and blends perfectly into a stylish decor.
What we like:
- Unbeatable price, often less than €50
- Very lightweight and can be stored in a drawer in seconds
- Real decorative effect — like our bed canopies, it dresses up the bedroom and matches all interior styles
What’s problematic for two people:
- The fabric falls close to the face and body: at night, when you move, one or the other ends up touching the canopy, and mosquitoes bite through it
- You can hear mosquitoes buzzing just centimeters from your ears, which is enough to ruin the night
- It requires a ceiling attachment point, not always practical in a rental room or with a concrete ceiling
- The bottom must be carefully tucked under the mattress, and with two people moving around, it often comes unglued
Our verdict: best suited for decorative bedrooms where mosquitoes are rare, or for cool nights at the beginning of the season. Not reliable for two active sleepers.
The 3-pole dome mosquito net : the sensible compromise.
This freestanding mosquito net sits directly on the bed without any hooks or ceiling fixings. Its hoop structure creates an interior volume that keeps the net away from the face and body. Our Marin model perfectly represents this category: elegant and affordable.
What we like:
- No setup required: simply unfold it, and it stays upright on the mattress
- The net stays away from the face and shoulders, preventing mosquitoes from biting through the fabric
- The solid fabric strip at the bottom is actually very useful: if a hand or foot rests against the mosquito net during the night, the opaque fabric blocks bites
- Mid-range price, affordable for a family
What’s problematic for two people:
- With only 3 poles, the structure can deform if a child leans on it or if an adult moves vigorously
- The interior space is limited: it’s difficult to sit upright or turn around without touching the sides
- Storage is more cumbersome than a canopy, especially in a small bedroom
Our verdict: a good option for couples looking for real protection without spending too much, as long as they accept a slightly smaller interior space.
3. The 5-Hoop Yurt : The Comfortable Choice for Families.
The 5-hoop yurt mosquito net is clearly the most sophisticated solution for a double bed in a bedroom. Its tall, rigid structure creates a true living space at night. Our modern mosquito nets in blue, brown, or green are the most refined examples, with their ultra-fine honeycomb mesh and reinforced solid base.
What we like:
- Exemplary rigidity: 5 hoops = a very stable structure that doesn’t sag, even with children and adults who move around a lot,
- Generous volume: you can get up, get dressed, and take care of a baby or child without bumping into the sides
- Mosquitoes are kept well away from your face, ears, and arms, even when lying on the edge of the bed
- The solid fabric band at the bottom, higher and stronger than on the previous model, further enhances protection against contact bites
- Double zippered doors on each side for separate entry and exit — practical when one person gets up at night
- Ideal for leaving it set up all summer long in the bedroom
What’s not so great:
- It’s the most expensive model, but its durability more than makes up for it over several seasons
- Heavier and bulkier when stored, so you’ll need to make room for it in the closet
- Initial assembly takes 2 to 5 minutes the first time
Our verdict: it’s the best choice For a double bed in a family room. Browse our entire collection of double bed mosquito nets to find the model that matches your decor.
