Bed Linen Sizes


Whenever we go for buying beds, we might wonder about a number of sizes available in the market and to choose the one among them suitable for our needs. Now, to select the right bed linen size, you need to know how these sizes are varying.



After seeing the blueprint of variations in the different sizes of bed, we’ll now see their dimensions. Though they vary from country to country, we look at the US standard Bed Linen Sizes.
·         Double Size Quilt Covers 180cm x 210cm
·         Queen Size Quilt Covers 210cm x 210cm
·         King Size Quilt Covers 245cm x 210cm
·         Super King Size Quilt Covers 270cm x 240cm
The first thing to be considered before buying a sheet is to calculate the size of the bed and then, the distance between the floor and mattress. If not, you might end up selecting linen that drags on the floor.  A thick mattress and a box spring on the top of your standard sized bed may vary the bed linen size that you should buy. This also changes the sizes of blankets and duvets. The futon frame which is close to the floor is also essential in selecting the Bed Linen Size. The simple tip to select the linen size is- to measure the distance from the top of the bed to the floor and double it, before adding it to the width of the mattress.

But the Bed linen sheets available in the market are designed to exactly fit the mattress and gives only low space for tucking in. So, it is you to choose the size of linen slightly more than the bed size.

By analyzing the above table, it is clear that for a California King or Super King sized bed, Bed Linen size can be any of the King sized flat sheet or Super King sized flat sheet. This is because of the provision for the tucked length on the bed. They vary according to the thickness of the mattress too. So, if the thickness of the mattress is smaller considerably, then the bed linen size can be varied from one type to another depending on the lengths. If everything regarding the sizes is satisfied, then there are many other factors like Material, Thread count, weave, pattern, seasonality have to be considered accordingly.
