Which sheet size should you choose?
Choosing a new sheet, and especially the right size, can sometimes be tricky: 180x290, 240x310 or 270x310 cm – which model should you go for?
The Sylvie Thiriez brand shares its buying advice based on the mattress you own, helping you avoid a common headache.
Whether you have a standard double bed, a queen size or a king size bed, discover which sheet size to choose for your bedding.
Before getting started, we encourage you to measure your mattress using a tape measure to check its dimensions. When choosing the size of your flat sheet, it can be helpful to think in advance about the drop you want on the sides of the bed, as well as the top fold you would like to have at the head of the bed.
You can carry out a quick calculation to determine the ideal size of your bed sheet. To do so, simply calculate (mattress width + drop x2) and (mattress length + top fold). Rest assured, this step is entirely optional!
To make things easier for you, our bed linen experts indicate below which sheet size generally suits each type of bed.
What sheet size for a 140x190 bed?
Do you have a standard 140x190 cm double bed? We recommend choosing a 240x310 cm flat sheet, or a slightly shorter model (240x300 cm) which will give you a smaller top fold at the head of the bed.
On the Sylvie Thiriez online store, we offer over 60 models in 240x310 or 240x300 cm sizes, giving you plenty of choice to find the perfect sheet.
What sheet size for a 160x200 bed?
For sleepers with a 160x200 cm queen size bed, it is recommended to choose a large-format flat sheet measuring 270x310 cm. This will provide sufficient drop on the sides of the bed, as well as a generously sized top fold to cover your blanket or duvet.
Do you have an adjustable bed with raised head and foot sections (2x80x200 cm)? For this type of mattress, you can also opt for a 270x310 cm bed sheet.
What sheet size for a 140x200 bed?
If you have a standard two-person mattress measuring 140x200 cm, choose a flat sheet measuring 240x310 cm, or possibly 240x300 cm.
Both sizes are also suitable for 140x190 cm double beds and 120x190 cm single or small double beds.
What sheet size for a 180x200 bed?
What could be better than stretching out comfortably in bed? If you are one of those sleepers who love space and have chosen a king size bed, you will need, as with a queen size bed, to opt for a 270x310 cm flat sheet. You are sure to find what you are looking for among our sixty large-format models, available in a wide range of colours and patterns. The Sylvie Thiriez brand also offers nearly 40 bed sheet models in a 180x290 cm format, suitable for adult or children’s single beds measuring 90x190 and 90x200 cm. If you are unsure about the flat sheet, fitted sheet or duvet cover size compatible with your mattress, feel free to refer to your size guide. It will allow you to quickly check the recommended dimensions.
