Bed sizes in the UK are measured in centimetres, and the names do not always match the numbers. This is the table we build every Hush piece to, so you can check your mattress before you order.
The main sizes
Every size below gives the mattress, the duvet cover, the fitted sheet and the flat sheet. Read across the row for your bed.
- Single: mattress 90 x 190 cm, duvet cover 135 x 200 cm, fitted sheet 90 x 190 cm, flat sheet 180 x 290 cm.
- Double: mattress 135 x 190 cm, duvet cover 200 x 200 cm, fitted sheet 135 x 190 cm, flat sheet 230 x 290 cm.
- King: mattress 150 x 200 cm, duvet cover 225 x 220 cm, fitted sheet 150 x 200 cm, flat sheet 275 x 290 cm.
- Super King: mattress 180 x 200 cm, duvet cover 260 x 220 cm, fitted sheet 180 x 200 cm, flat sheet 305 x 290 cm.
All our fitted sheets are 30 cm deep, with elastic all the way round. If your mattress is deeper than that, size up on the flat sheet and tuck it in. A fitted sheet that is too shallow will ping off the corner in the night.
Duvet cover and mattress differ
A duvet cover and a mattress of the same name are not the same size. A Double duvet cover is 200 x 200 cm, while a Double mattress is 135 x 190 cm. The cover is deliberately larger so the duvet has room to settle and drape. Use the table above and it will make sense at a glance.
Pillowcases
Pillowcases come in two shapes. The Standard pair measures 50 x 75 cm. The Oxford pair is the same size with a 5 cm flange around the edge, which gives a neater finish on a made bed.
Towels and robes
Towels are measured flat. Hand towels are 50 x 90 cm, bath towels are 70 x 140 cm and bath sheets are 100 x 150 cm. Our robes are unisex and 115 cm long: S/M fits UK 8 to 14 and L/XL fits UK 16 to 22.
When you choose a duvet size, match it to the bed rather than to the cover you already own. A King duvet on a Double bed gives a fuller look, but it needs a King cover too. Keep the two in step and the bed stays easy to make.
How to measure your bed
Measure the mattress, not the frame, and take the width first, then the length, then the depth. Write all three down before you shop. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger duvet cover so the duvet has room to move.
- Width: measure across the mattress from side to side.
- Length: measure from head to foot.
- Depth: measure from the top of the mattress to the bottom, ours fits up to 30 cm.
If you are still unsure, email the studio with your mattress measurements and we will tell you which size to order. It is a small job now that saves ordering the wrong size later. A tape measure and five minutes are all it takes.
