What dimensions should I choose for a double bed set?

When choosing a double bed set, it's crucial to carefully check the dimensions of each piece. An unsuitable size can quickly affect the comfort or aesthetics of your bed.

Here's a clear guide to choosing the right size of bedding set, depending on your bedding.

1. Fitted sheet: the base

The fitted sheet should fit your mattress perfectly. If it's too small, it will slip; if it's too large, it will crease uncomfortably.

Mattress size

Recommended fitted sheet size

140 x 190 cm

140 x 190 cm

160 x 200 cm

160 x 200 cm

180 x 200 cm

180 x 200 cm

💡 Tip: Check the mattress thickness (bottom thickness) to choose a fitted sheet that fits well.

2. Duvet cover: adapt to your habits

The size of the duvet cover depends on the width of your bed, but also on your preferences in terms of wrapping:

Bed size

Recommended duvet/cover size

Double bed 140 cm

220 x 240 cm

Queen Size Bed 160 cm

240 x 260 cm

King Size Bed 180 cm

240 x 260 cm (or even 260x240)

🔁 For a “hotel fall” effect, choose a duvet that is wider than your bed: this avoids duvet fights and provides an elegant fall.

3. Pillowcases: square or rectangular?

Pillowcases are often sold in pairs in double bed sets. Choose according to your pillows:

Pillow type

Pillowcase size

Square

65 x 65 cm

Rectangular

50 x 70 cm

🧺 Good to know: alternating the two formats can add a nice play of volume to your bed.
