BAMBOO BEDDING SIZE GUIDE

We take sleep, comfort and sustainability seriously, and that starts with bedding that actually fits. A sheet that is too small pulls loose at the corners; a duvet cover that is too big leaves the filling bunched at one end. This guide sets out every size we make, with the UK and US names next to the centimetres, and a direct link to each size so you can go straight to the product.

All our fitted sheets have a 35 cm pocket, which is deep enough for a thick mattress plus a protector. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one.

How to measure your bed

Take a tape measure and note three figures: the width, the length and the depth of your mattress. Width and length decide which fitted sheet you need; depth decides whether the standard 35 cm pocket is enough. For a duvet cover, measure the duvet itself rather than the bed, because a cover that is too tight compresses the filling and costs you warmth.

UK and US size names

The same word means different mattresses in different countries, which is where most ordering mistakes come from. This is how they line up with our sizes:

Fitted Sheets

Topper fitted sheet sizes

A topper sheet has a shallower 10 cm pocket so it sits flat instead of bunching.

Split topper fitted sheet sizes

For adjustable beds, our split topper sheets move with the base instead of pulling tight when you raise the head end.


 

Pillowcase sizes

Frequently asked questions

Which size fits a UK single, double, king or super king bed?

Our sizes are European and given in centimetres. A UK single (90 x 190 cm) takes our 90 x 200 cm fitted sheet, a UK double (135 x 190 cm) our 140 x 200 cm, a UK king (150 x 200 cm) our 160 x 200 cm and a UK super king (180 x 200 cm) our 180 x 200 cm. The deep pocket and the elastic all the way round take up the extra length. Every size, with UK names alongside, is in our bedding size guide.

How do I choose the right bedding for my bedroom?

Start with the sizes: a fitted sheet that matches your mattress, a duvet cover that matches your duvet and pillowcases that fit your pillows. Then choose the warmth of your duvet: our summer duvet (150 g/m²) for warm bedrooms and hot sleepers, or the winter duvet (400 g/m²) for cool rooms. Finally, pick a colour and choose between a button closure and a tuck-in strip on the duvet cover.

How often should I change my bedding?

Once a week is a good rule for sheets and duvet covers, and pillowcases can be changed more often if you have allergies or sensitive skin or sweat a lot. Washing weekly at 30°C keeps bedding fresher than washing less often at a higher temperature. Wash the duvets and pillows themselves every few months.

How do I measure my bed for new bedding?

Measure the width, length and depth of your mattress with a tape measure. Width and length decide the size of your fitted sheet, and the depth tells you whether a standard fitted sheet (up to 30 cm) or a topper fitted sheet is right. For a duvet cover, measure the duvet itself rather than the bed, and for pillowcases, measure the pillow.

How should I store bedding I am not using?

Store it clean and completely dry in a cool, dark, airy place, such as a linen cupboard or a cotton storage bag. Avoid plastic bags and boxes, as they trap moisture and can lead to mould, and keep it out of direct sunlight so the colours do not fade. Folding or rolling both work fine.

Is bamboo bedding a good choice for couples?

Yes, especially when one of you sleeps warm and the other feels the cold. Bamboo carries heat and moisture away from whoever is too warm, without making the bed colder for the other person. If the difference is large, two single duvets in different weights solve the rest.

Why use two single duvets in a double bed?

Two single duvets let each of you choose your own warmth, for example a summer duvet for the one who sleeps hot and a winter duvet for the one who feels the cold. You also stop pulling the duvet off each other at night. Each duvet goes in its own single duvet cover, such as 140 x 200 or 140 x 220 cm. This works especially well on a king or super king bed.

What sizes are right for a double bed?

For a UK double bed (135 x 190 cm) choose our 140 x 200 cm fitted sheet, for a UK king (150 x 200 cm) the 160 x 200 cm and for a UK super king (180 x 200 cm) the 180 x 200 cm. Choose the duvet cover by the size of your duvet: 200 x 200 cm fits a standard double duvet. You will usually need two pillowcases, which are sold as a pair. All sizes are in our bedding size guide.

What sizes are right for a single bed?

For a UK single bed (90 x 190 cm) choose our 90 x 200 cm fitted sheet, and for a UK small single (75 x 190 cm) the 80 x 200 cm. A single duvet takes a 140 x 200 cm duvet cover, or 140 x 220 cm if you prefer extra length. For a standard UK pillow, choose 50 x 75 cm pillowcases.

Is bamboo bedding suitable for children's beds?

Yes, bamboo bedding works well in children's rooms. It is soft and smooth on young skin, keeps warm and restless sleepers drier, and the fabric is tested for harmful substances under OEKO-TEX Standard 100. It washes at 30°C, so you can wash it as often as children need.
