Size guide

The sizes we make for duvet covers, sheets and pillowcases, in real centimetres, and how to pick the right one for your bed.

Size guide

Bedding sizes are confusing across borders: nearly every country has its own idea of what a single duvet cover or a standard pillowcase is. This guide lists the sizes we make, in real centimetres, so you can match them against your own mattress and pillows instead of guessing from a label. All sizes below are in Supima Sateen; Classic Cotton Percale and Tencel Percale come in a selection of them.

Short answer: Measure the mattress, not the bed frame. A 160 cm mattress takes a 160×200 cm fitted sheet. In Sweden a single duvet is usually 150×210 cm and a shared double duvet 220×220 cm, which are our standard duvet cover sizes. The standard pillowcase is 60×50 cm.

Duvet covers

We make two kinds of duvet cover: a single duvet cover, for one person or for each duvet in a shared bed, and a large duvet cover, for one shared double duvet. Both come in several widths and lengths to match different duvets.

Size guide

Choose the sheet by the mattress, not the frame.

Measure your duvet before you order: the cover should match it, not the bed.

Fitted, flat and envelope sheets

Choose a fitted sheet by the width of your mattress, not the bed frame. Ours are cut for mattresses up to 30 cm deep. A flat sheet tucks in under the mattress, and an envelope sheet tucks in at the foot of the bed.

How to measure your mattress

Measure the mattress itself, not the bed frame: width and length edge to edge, and the depth at a corner. For a mattress deeper than 30 cm, a flat sheet or a size up usually works better than a fitted sheet.

Every order comes with a 30-day trial at home and free exchanges, so the wrong size is easy to put right.

Common sizing questions

How big is a single duvet?
In Sweden a single duvet is usually 150×210 cm, which is why 150×210 cm is our standard single duvet cover. We also make single duvet covers in 150×200 cm (IKEA-compatible) and 155×220 cm.
How big is a double duvet?
A duvet for a shared double bed is usually 220×220 cm, the Swedish standard. Our large duvet covers come in 200×200, 200×220, 220×220, 230×220 and 240×220 cm.
What size sheet do I need for a 120 cm bed?
A 120×200 cm fitted sheet. Choose the width by the mattress rather than the bed frame; ours are cut for mattresses up to 30 cm deep.
What size sheet do I need for a 160 cm bed?
A 160×200 cm fitted sheet. If your mattress is longer than 200 cm, the wider fitted sheets also come in 210 cm lengths.
How long is a bed?
Most Swedish beds are 200 cm long, the length of our standard fitted sheets. Some wider sizes also come in 210 cm for longer mattresses.
What if I order the wrong size?
Every order comes with a 30-day trial at home and free exchanges, so ordering the wrong size is not a costly mistake. Get in touch and we will sort out the right one.
