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.

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.
