How To Match Your Bedding Size with Mattress Size

Getting the right size mattress can be a daunting task for many people. Once you find what suits you best, you then need to consider your linens. Fitted sheets are very strict on sizing, and it’s important to get it right. Knowing the dimensions of your mattress is a central part of this process. There are times when websites may have different sizes for each mattress, so it's always beneficial to double-check their size charts.

Thankfully, Southshore makes it easy to find the perfect sheets by providing the measurements listed on each product page. Referencing those measurements, as well as following these tips and tricks for finding the right-sized linens, will help you make sure your sheets fit seamlessly.

Knowing Your Mattress Size

The first step is to measure the length, width, and depth of your mattress with a tape measure. Make sure to measure from tip to tip in each direction, and don’t forget to take into account any pillow top or additional padding on the bed. Once you’ve got the measurements, it’s time to decide on a size for your bedding.

There are five standard mattress sizes: Twin, Full, Queen, King, and California King. When shopping for fitted sheets, the most common sizes are:

• Twin / Twin XL 
• Full
• Queen
• King
• California King 

When choosing the right size fitted sheet, it's important that you're precise with your measurements. Other items, such as a flat sheet, duvet cover, comforter, comforter cover, or pillowcases, may be a bit more forgiving with their size.

Southshore Fine Linens provides extra deep pocket sheets that are flexible enough to fit mattresses of all sizes. Each sheet is elasticized and tucked under the mattress for a secure fit.

What About Quilts, Comforters, and Duvets?

There's a bit more flexibility when it comes to quilts, comforters, and comforter covers because they don’t have to fit as tightly as fitted sheets. You can usually go between one or two sizes depending on how much coverage you want or need.

For example, a Twin comforter will fit on either a Twin or Twin XL, and a Queen comforter works well for both a full and queen-sized mattress.

With your duvet cover, it's possible to size up as well. If you have a queen-sized duvet insert, you could purchase an additional king-sized cover. This way, you can switch up the style, size, or pattern with different covers while still keeping the inner duvet in place.

Benefits of Well-Fitted Luxury Bedding

When it comes to luxury bedding, having the right size bedding is essential for a comfortable and stylish sleep experience. A well-fitted mattress not only looks great on your bed but also helps to keep your sheets in place throughout the night. This prevents bunching and wrinkling, giving you a more consistent sleeping surface.
