Guide to Bed Sheet Sizes and Measurements

To ensure your bedding fits properly—and to avoid bunching or slipping—you need to choose bed sheets in the correct sizes and measurements. Selecting flat and fitted sheets that correspond to your mattress size helps you achieve a proper fit. Use this quick guide to determine what size bed sheets you need and choose bedding in the correct dimensions to fit your mattress. 

The best way to get the right size sheets is to choose bedding that corresponds with your mattress size: Twin sheets fit a twin mattress, queen sheets fit a queen mattress, and so on. Match the bed sheet size to the size of your mattress, but also consider the thickness of your mattress when choosing bed sheets. If you have a thick mattress or use a mattress topper that adds thickness, you may need deep pocket or oversized sheets.
