Bed Linen Sizes

UK mattresses and bed linen come in a number of ‘standard’ sizes. We explain below the different sizes available:

  • A ‘Single’ mattress or a single bed is also referred to as 'Twin'. These are two terms for the same mattress or bed size. There is no difference between them. Single tends to be the more popular terminology, but today, twin is also used more widely.

    Did you know that two single sized mattresses make up a Super King size mattress? So when you are starting to share a bed with someone else we recommend you choose a Super King size bed to maintain the quality of your sleep. After all you have been sleeping on a single bed most of your life, so why should you choose to downsize?

    A single or twin mattress or single bed size is 90cm x 190cm or 35”x75”. A single or twin mattress fits a single fitted sheet size 90cm x 190cm x 30cm or 35”x75”x12” It fits a single size duvet cover 150cm x 200cm or 60”x79” and it fits a single flat sheet size 180cm x 265cm or 71”x104”.
  • A ‘Double’ size mattress or double bed is 135cm x 190cm or 54”x75” and it fits a double fitted sheet size 137cm x 190cm x 30cm deep or 53”x75”x12”. It goes with a double size duvet cover 200cm x 200cm or 79”x79” and it fits a double flat sheet size 230cm x 265cm or 91”x104”
  • A ‘King’ size mattress or king bed is 150cm x 200cm or 59”x79” and it fits a king size fitted sheet 152cm x 200cm x 30cm deep or 58”x79”x12”. It also fits a king size duvet cover 230cm x 220cm or 91” x 87” and it fits a king size flat sheet 275cm x 275cm or 108”x108”.
