When it comes to bedding, you can easily get confused by all the sizes: of your bed, mattress, duvet, pillow, fitted sheet, duvet cover and bedspread. They all have different dimensions, so you can't just guess, because everything needs to fit together neatly and nicely. With a duvet that is too small, you end up with a 'tug-of-war' with your partner at night; a cover that is too big will flap around your duvet, and a bedspread that is too small looks cheap.
Why the right size fitted sheet is important
The right size fitted sheet is also important. A fitted sheet that is too small will pull up the corners of your mattress, keep coming loose, or you won't be able to pull it around your mattress at all. A fitted sheet that is too large will roll and bunch up if you toss and turn in your sleep. Neither is comfortable at all, so we are happy to help you determine exactly the right size for your new fitted sheet. This helps you make your bed and ensures the very best sleep. And sleep comfort is something you don't want to skimp on.
When finding the right size fitted sheet for each bed, it is important that you consider the width, length, and height or thickness of the mattress knows exactly. Simply knowing that you have a single, small double, double, or twin bed is therefore not enough. The width of a single mattress, for example, can vary between 80 and 100 cm. And the length of a mattress is not a standard 200 cm, but can also be 210 or 220 cm long. You can imagine that making your bed becomes quite difficult when you are missing 20 cm on your fitted sheet. That is why the precise mattress size is so important.
