How to Measure Your Mattress
Not sure of your size, or working with an older or non-standard bed? Measure in three quick steps:
-
Width — measure from side to side across the top of the mattress.
-
Length — measure from head to foot.
-
Depth — measure from the top surface down to where the mattress meets the base. This is the one most people forget, and it's the key to a fitted sheet that stays put.
Jot down all three and match them to the tables on this page.
Fitted Sheet Depth
Our fitted sheets are made with deep, elasticised corners designed to hug most standard and pillow-top mattresses.
-
Standard fit: suits mattresses up to approximately 35–40 cm deep.
-
Deep or pillow-top mattresses: if yours is thicker than average, or you use a mattress topper, measure the depth first to guarantee a snug, secure fit.
Our tip: If you use a topper, measure with the topper on. That's the depth your fitted sheet actually needs to cover.
Quilt / Doona Sizing
Here's something worth knowing: your quilt should usually be sized up from your mattress, not matched to it. That extra size gives you proper overhang on both sides, so no one gets left with a cold shoulder, and it delivers that full, draped, hotel-styled look.

Sharing a bed? If one of you tends to pull the covers, sizing up one more from our recommendation gives you extra coverage to go around.

Styling note: Euro pillows sit upright at the back of the bed and are the secret behind that layered, five-star hotel look. Standard pillows sit in front for sleeping.
Get the Hotel Look at Home
The finished, luxurious look you see in hotels comes down to a few simple choices:
-
Size your quilt up for a full, even drape.
-
Layer your pillows — Euro pillows at the back, standard pillows in front, then a decorative cushion to finish.
-
Choose the right depth so your fitted sheet sits smooth and crisp, with no pulling at the corners.
