Have you ever struggled to put your bed sheet back on after washing it because it felt too tight or too loose? This often happens because bed sheet sizes do not always match the mattress being used.
Before buying a new bed sheet, learn how to determine the right size to keep your bed neat and comfortable every day.
DVALA IKEA fitted sheets feature elastic all around the edges and are designed for mattresses up to 26 cm thick. If you use a mattress topper, remember to measure the mattress height after the topper is installed to ensure the sheet fits properly.
How to measure your mattress before buying a bed sheet
Before choosing a bed sheet, take a few minutes to measure your mattress directly. This helps you get more accurate dimensions instead of relying only on mattress size names such as single, queen, or king.
Besides the length and width, you should also measure the mattress thickness, especially if you plan to use a fitted sheet with elastic edges.
1. Measure the mattress length
Use a measuring tape to measure the mattress from the head end to the foot end. Make sure the tape is pulled straight for accurate results. If your mattress has a protector or mattress protector, measure the main mattress so you can choose a bed sheet with the correct dimensions.
2. Measure the mattress width
Next, measure the mattress from side to side. Avoid relying only on terms such as single or queen because size standards may vary between manufacturers. Measuring the mattress directly helps you choose the correct bed sheet dimensions.
3. Measure the mattress thickness
Mattress thickness is an important factor when choosing a fitted sheet. If your mattress uses a mattress topper, measure the total height after the topper has been installed.
For reference, DVALA IKEA fitted sheets are designed for mattresses up to 26 cm thick, allowing them to fit more securely thanks to the elastic all around the edges.
