Bedding Sizes - Mattress Size, Bed Sheet Size
By Wasuk Jones

Having the right type of bedding sizes will determine how the overall effect of your bedding display looks (i.e. how good your bed looks). If you buy the wrong size of bedding, not only would you have wasted some time, effort and money but you ll not get the right look for your bed. And if you buy the wrong size mattress for your bed, well, you can imagine the stress to follow.

So it is good practice that when you go shopping for bedding, you have an idea of the sizes you ll need for your bed.

It is always good practice to measure your mattress and bed before you buy any type of bedding materials. This is to ensure that you buy the correct bedding sizes.

For example, you should measure the height width and length of your mattress and keep this information with you when you choose your bed linen.

Mattress Sizes:

Here are some sizes to keep in mind while shopping for mattresses. Please remember that these sizes may vary slightly by vendor:

King 76 x 80 inches
Queen 60 x 80 inches
Full 53 x 75 inches
Twin 38 x 75 inches

Bed Sheet Sizes:

Bed sheets come in standard sizes, although this may vary according to the manufacturer. For guidance, you can use the bed sheet sizes below:

Twin: flat (66 x 96 inches), fitted (39 x 75 inches)

Full: flat ( 81 x 96 to 100 inches), fitted (54 x 75 inches)

Queen: flat (90 x 102-106 inches), fitted (60 x 80 inches)

King: flat (109 x 102-106 inches), fitted (78 x 80 inches)

There are also travel size pillows which come in sizes of about 12 x 16 inches.

Blanket and Throw Sizes:

Most of these sizes should fit into the listed bed size. However, sizes may vary slightly from one manufacturer to another.

King 108 x 90 inches
