How to choose the right size for your flat sheets? We tell you everything!
What size for a 1 person flat sheet?
The size of single flat sheets depends mainly on the size of your single mattress. So choose the size of the 1 person flat sheet according to the size of your bedding. In most cases, single beds are 90 cm wide and 200 cm long. However, there is also the 120 cm wide bed, a good compromise between the single and double beds. This type of bed is ideal for a person who moves around a lot at night or who simply likes to be comfortable, but who does not have enough space in their room for a 140 double bed. Let's look at the criteria in detail. to choose the size of 1 person flat sheet you need.
Which flat sheet for a 90x200 bed?
For a 90 cm wide bed, you will need a 180x290 cm flat sheet. This dimension allows a nice drape of the sheet on the sides and a large flap at the top of the bed on which your pillow or bolster rests. If you place a 200x200 cm duvet in your 90 cm bed, your 180 cm wide flat sheet will have the advantage of not protruding over the sides. If your duvet is 140x200 cm, then be aware that your flat sheet will protrude beyond your duvet on the sides, which is not the most beautiful effect. That being said, if you completely line your bed, this detail is not disturbing in itself. The size of your single flat sheet therefore depends on the size of your bedding and the style you want to give to your bed: casual or elegant, modern or classic.

Which flat sheet for a 120x200 bed?

What size for a 2 person flat sheet?
The 2-person flat sheet must be wide to allow real sleeping comfort: the one that should be yours. It is important to choose the material of your sheets carefully, but it is even more important to choose their dimensions carefully. Nothing is more unpleasant than being discovered several times during the night because of a sheet that is too tight. Only your head should protrude above the sheet, not your body! The size of your 2-person flat sheet owes nothing to chance.
What size flat sheet for a 140 bed?

In cotton, flannel or satin, it will perfectly accompany a 200x200 cm duvet cover with low drape, or a 240x220 cm duvet cover for a more generous drape. The 310 cm long sheet allows for a wide and elegant flap on which your square pillows will look great.
But the size of a double flat sheet may be different if you have opted for larger double beds such as 160 cm beds or king size beds.

What size flat sheet for a king size bed ?
King size beds 180 cm wide (or more) absolutely require flat sheets of at least 270x300 cm. Watch out for drafts! The king size flat sheet is particularly suitable for these large beds. Indeed, king size duvets being difficult to handle, changing your duvet cover often is less easy. If you opt for a sheet, you can wash it as often as you want, without having to also change your duvet cover each time.
Once neglected in favor of duvet covers alone, the flat sheet is making a comeback in our beds. It combines practicality and hygiene with natural elegance.
