How to choose a fitted sheet
- A fitted sheet is an elastic-lined bed sheet that covers the mattress. Due to the elastic, it can accommodate a ~2" to 3" difference in mattress dimensions. If the fitted sheet has a deep pocket and thick all-around elastic, it can stretch more — accommodating up to 4" to 5" difference while still maintaining a snug fit.
- Slightly larger sheets are fine since the extra fabric can be tucked under the mattress.
- 2 Twin mattresses is roughly equal to 1 King mattress.
- When it comes to mattress depth, premium mattresses can go as deep as 17".
- If you use a mattress topper/pad, you can either count the topper's thickness together with the mattress (so you'll need a deeper fitted sheet), or you can cover only the topper (2" to 3").
How to choose a flat sheet
- Flat sheets are bed sheets that lay between you and the comforter/duvet, usually tucked in the mattress. They can serve as a blanket or as a protective layer to lessen the need to launder the comforter/duvet frequently.
- Since it is only a top layer, a flat sheet is more forgiving in sizing than a fitted sheet. If you're using it as a blanket, you may simply choose a size enough to cover your body (i.e. for solo sleepers, Twin or Full will do).
2 | CRIB SHEET
| Crib Mattress Size | Fitted Sheet Size |
|---|---|
| Standard Wooden Crib | 28" x 52" x 5" (71 x 132 x 13 cm) |
| Playpen / Pack n' Play / Playard | 26" x 39" x 5" (66 x 99 x 13 cm) |
How to choose a crib sheet
- For baby bed sheets, the standard wooden crib mattress is 28" x 52".
- Playpens, pack n' plays and playards (like Armreach Ideal Ezee Co-sleeper, Chicco Playards, and Graco Pack 'n Play) have recently become popular for their easy and compact assembly. Their mattresses are typically 26" x 39".
3 | COMFORTER/DUVET & DUVET COVER
| Mattress Size | Comforter/Duvet/Duvet Cover Size |
|---|---|
| Twin / Twin XL | 68" x 90" (173 x 229 cm) |
| Full (Double) | 80" x 90" (203 x 229 cm) |
| Queen | 86" x 90" (218 x 229 cm) |
| King & Cali King | 102" x 90" (259 x 229 cm) |
How to choose a comforter / duvet
- Like flat sheets, comforters/duvets are designed to drape over the mattress and therefore are more flexible in sizing.
- Solo sleeper tip: Choose a Twin duvet if you don't mind not covering the whole bed. The smaller duvet is less expensive and easier to change and launder.
- Partner tip: Have a hard time sharing a duvet with your partner? Choose 2 Twin duvets instead of 1 Queen/King, so each person can move freely and adjust to his/her own preference. Plus, Twin duvets are lighter, making bedmaking and laundering them easier than 1 big Queen/King one.
How to choose a duvet cover
- A duvet cover is like a giant pillowcase that protects the duvet or comforter, allowing for less frequent washing of the duvet (just 1-2 times a year if using a cover).
- Designer tip: Choose a slightly smaller duvet cover to achieve the thick and plush look you see in interior designer photos. Inserting the slightly larger duvet inside essentially makes it look fluffier and full.
4 | PILLOWCASE & BOLSTER CASE
| Pillow Size | Pillowcase Size |
|---|---|
| Baby | 8" x 12" (20 x 30 cm) |
| Toddler / Mini / Travel | 14" x 20" (35 x 51 cm) |
| Standard | 20" x 30" (51 x 76 cm) |
| King | 20" x 36" (51 x 91 cm) |
| Body Pillow | 20" x 57" (51 x 145 cm) |
| Bolster Pillow (Hotdog Pillow) Size | Bolster Case Size |
|---|---|
| Baby | 12" circumference x 20" length (30 x 51 cm) |
| Standard | 22" circumference x 34-36" length (56 x 86-91 cm) |
| Large | 22" circumference x 44" length (56 x 112 cm) |
How to choose a pillowcase
- Twin, Full, Queen sheet sets come with Standard size pillowcases (20 by 30 inches) while King & Cali King sheet sets come with King size pillowcases (20 by 36 inches).
- For irregularly small pillows (such as Tempur pillows), we recommend Standard or Toddler pillowcases with the excess flap folded in.
How to choose a bolster case
- While there is no standard size, bolsters in the Philippines typically have 7" to 8" diameter (or 25" circumference).
- A large bolster is longer and comparable to a body pillow.
- Bolsters are typically gartered at the ends, allowing for some allowance in sizing.

*Uratex and Mandaue Foam have the same sizing as the mattress brands: Ambassador, King Koil, Salem, Slumberland.
**For Twin XL mattresses, we recommend Twin sheets (39" x 75"). Our fitted sheet's thick all-around elastic and deep pocket stretches to accommodate the longer Twin XL for a snug fit—this has been confirmed by previous customers who use Tempur's Twin XL (39" x 79") mattresses.
***Our King sheets are based on the US King (78" x 80") mattress. Though slightly larger, our sheets suit Philippine King (72" x 78") mattresses as the extra width can be tucked under the mattress. Our sheet's thick all-around elastic will ensure a secure fit.
In a nutshell
Choosing bed sheet sizes need not be complicated. Fitted sheets should be within 2" to 3" of your mattress dimensions, or up to 4" to 5" difference if it's made with a deep pocket and strong elastic. Flat sheets, duvets, comforters, and duvet covers are more forgiving as they only lay on top of the bed. If you're only using them as a blanket for one person, you can simply choose Twin duvets and flat sheets even with a Queen/King size bed.
