Bedding Size Guide: How To Choose The Right Size
Find The Right Fit For Your Bed
Buying bedding sounds simple — until you realise that your mattress size, bed size, and bedding dimensions aren’t always exactly the same.
From fitted sheets and quilt covers to comforters and quilt inners, choosing the right size makes a difference to how your bedding fits, feels, and looks.
Step 1: Know Your Mattress Size
Before choosing your bedding, start by measuring your mattress.
Take note of:
- Width
- Length
- Mattress Height
The first two determine your basic bed size, while mattress height is especially important when choosing a fitted sheet.
Standard Bed Sizes
Here are the common mattress sizes you’ll come across:
| Bed Size | Mattress Size |
|---|---|
| Single | 90 × 190 cm |
| Super Single | 100 × 190 cm |
| Queen | 150 × 190 cm |
| King | 180 × 190 cm |
Sizes can vary between brands and markets, so always check the actual dimensions before purchasing.
Step 2: Choose The Right Bedding
Different types of bedding require different considerations.
Fitted Sheets
Fitted sheets should match your mattress width and length, while also allowing enough depth to wrap securely around the mattress.
Our 43cm Pocket Depth
At Floral Cloud, all our fitted sheets feature a 43cm pocket depth.
Designed to accommodate deeper mattresses and mattress toppers, the deeper pocket helps the fitted sheet sit securely around the mattress without constantly coming loose.
Whether you choose Single, Super Single, Queen, or King, our fitted sheets are designed with the same 43cm pocket depth.
Quilt Covers
A quilt cover should correspond closely to the dimensions of your quilt inner.
A well-fitted cover helps keep the inner evenly distributed, preventing excessive movement or bunching inside.
Comforters
Unlike a quilt cover and quilt inner, a comforter is a complete piece designed to be used directly on your bed.
When choosing a comforter, consider both your mattress size and how much coverage you prefer. A larger comforter will provide more generous draping over the sides of the bed.
Quilt Inners
Your quilt inner should fit comfortably inside your quilt cover.
Choosing a matching size helps the inner sit evenly inside the cover and prevents excessive empty space or bunching.
Why Getting The Right Size Matters
The right bedding size isn’t just about making your bed look neat.
A properly fitted sheet stays securely in place. A correctly sized quilt cover helps keep the inner evenly distributed. And a well-proportioned comforter provides comfortable coverage throughout the night.
Before You Buy
Measure Your Mattress. Check The Product Dimensions. Then Choose Your Size.
Don’t rely on the label alone. A “Queen” from one brand may not have exactly the same dimensions as a “Queen” from another.
The best fit starts with knowing your measurements — because better bedding begins with getting the basics right.
