What are the different bed sizes?

A standard double is the most common bed size which makes finding sheets and duvets really easy. So, you’ll never be short on choice when it comes to materials, thicknesses and styles. Your luxury bed sheets are right at your fingertips.

What are the dimensions of a king-sized bed sheet?

King-sized bed sheets are 150 x 200cm and duvets covers are 225 x 220cm.

Get the most out of your side of the bed by upgrading to a king-size. The best bit about this slightly larger bed is the extra wiggle room. So, if you feel a bit cramped at night when sharing a bed, a king-sized mattress will change all of that.

Ah, the most common bed size, the double. The great thing about a double is there are endless choices in terms of sheets and duvet covers. Finding a set of sheets for your double bed should be easy and you won’t find many limits in terms of styles and materials.

What is the standard size of a single bed sheet?

Single-sized bed sheets are 90 x 190cm and duvet covers are 135 x 200cm.

The single bed is the perfect option for little ones or if you’re really short on space. It also makes a great guest bed in your spare room. Single beds are just as popular as doubles, so you’ll find just as much choice and variation. 

Shopping for bed sheets doesn’t need to be a hassle. Now you know the different bed sizes, you won’t ever have to deal with the hassle of returning the wrong-sized sheets ever again.
