Don’t Let the Wrong Size Ruin a Good Sleep
If you’ve ever tried to squeeze a fitted sheet onto the wrong mattress size, or bought a doona cover that ends up hanging loose like it’s on holiday - take a deep breath. You’re not alone. Bedding sizes in Australia can be surprisingly confusing, especially when you throw in deep mattresses, European pillowcases, and the occasional rogue sizing label.
But good news: we’ve created this friendly guide to help you match the right sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases to your bed - without needing a tape measure every morning.
Lets Start With Bed Sheet Sizes That Fit Right
Fitted Sheets - The Bread and Butter of Linen
Fitted sheets are the workhorses of your bedding. When they fit well, they stay put. When they don’t… you’re in for a corner-curling nightmare.
Pro tip: If you’ve got a mattress topper or plush pillow-top, look for deep wall options (40–50cm). Your future self will thank you.
Flat Sheets - The Optional Extra That’s Worth It
Some of us love a flat sheet. Others skip it entirely. But if you like layering or want to keep your quilt fresher for longer, a flat sheet is a soft barrier worth considering.
Nice to know: Flat sheets are great for hot sleepers - just the right amount of cover on balmy summer nights.

Quilt Cover Sizes - Don’t Let Your Doona Swim
Quilt covers should fit snugly over your doona. No excess flapping. No empty corners. Just a neat, satisfying fit.
Hot tip: Double-check fabric types. Natural fibres like linen and cotton can shrink a little after the first wash - so if it feels roomy before laundering, it may settle in just right.

Pillowcase Sizes - It’s Not Just One-Size-Fits-All
There’s more to pillowcases than you might think. Matching your pillow size to the right case makes for a neater look, a comfier sleep, and fewer awkward fabric bunches.
Style tip: Want that layered, styled bed look? Mix standard and Euro pillows with matching or tonal cases. Voila - bedroom bliss.
