CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE FOR YOUR MATTRESS

The first step in choosing a bedding set is to check the dimensions of your mattress. The size of the fitted sheet should be a perfect fit, while the flat sheet and duvet cover should be slightly larger and extend beyond the sides of the bed so that the flat sheet can be folded over the duvet. Follow these tips based on the size of your mattress.

IF YOUR MATTRESS MEASURES 90x190 CM

If you have a standard single bed size 90x190 cm, you will need to choose a 140x200 cm duvet cover. Of course, for greater comfort, the dimensions of your cover should be identical to those of your duvet cover. This type of duvet is ideal for single beds ranging from 70-190 cm to 90-200 cm. An average person usually buys a 180x290 cm flat sheet and a 90x190 cm fitted sheet.

IF YOUR MATTRESS MEASURES 140x190 CM

If your bed is 140x190 cm, the dimensions of your fitted sheet should be exactly the same, with the height of the cover equal to the thickness of the mattress + 5 cm. For your duvet cover, choose a 200x200 cm or 240x220 cm model to get the most out of it. Choose the first if you sleep alone, and the second if you sleep with someone else. Don't hesitate to choose a larger size if you or your partner move around a lot during your sleep.

As for your flat sheet , the main thing is that you can tuck it in sufficiently. So you need a sheet measuring 180x290 cm.

IF YOUR MATTRESS MEASURES 160x200 CM

For a large bed 160x200 cm, the fitted sheet must be the same size. For the duvet cover, a size of 240x220 cm will give you an overhang of 40 cm on each side of the bed, and 50 cm if you opt for a 260x220 cm cover, which will allow you to be more comfortable. Finally, if you want to add a flat sheet, it must measure 270x290 cm.
