Deep sheets keep our sheets in place as much as possible, even when we sleep. The need to use this type of sheets when new types of mattresses appear on the market, such as removable tops or those that have an upper cushion. For serious homeowners, we would like these beds to be as tidy as possible, and to keep paved sheets even easier using pocket sheets.
When buying, you should know what size of bed should use these sheets. We usually hear bed sizes like king, queen, single and double. However, these names are more. As a king bed can be either the standard king or the king of California. Confused, is not it? And based on our idea that the king is much higher than the queen in rank, then the king size bed should be bigger than the queen's bed. Well, you might be surprised to know that this is not always the case. Here are the sizes of mattresses available in the market and their exact measurements that will help you determine the right size of sheets for purchase:
TWIN, SINGLE AND TWIN EXTRA LONG
Twin beds are also called single beds. They have a total size of 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. These types of beds are most common in children's rooms, as this may be too small for teens and adults.
The extra-long twin beds are 39 inches wide and 80 inches long, so they are 5 inches longer than a standard double bed. For cost-effectiveness, it is best to use this bed in children's rooms, so that they can still use it until young years.
DOUBLE AND QUEEN
The standard measurement for double or full-size beds is 54 inches wide and the same length as a double bed for 75 inches. When comparing a full-size bed with 2 single beds and considering that full-size beds are usually designed for two people, while the double size is for one user, note that the double has only 27 inches allocated for each person, and the double has 39 inches per person
The double beds have a total size of 60 inches wide and 80 inches long. However, although this extra width and length can make a big difference to a good sleep, compared to a double bed, a double bed takes up a much larger allocated area per person.
BED BOX
Standard king-size beds are also called Oriental king beds. They are wider than queen size beds by 16 inches, but have the same length with a length of 80 inches. It is comfortable enough for two adults. Sheets that are specifically labeled “King Size” are usually suitable for a standard double bed.
The California King, also called the Western King, entered the market because of the need to increase the bed size for taller people. The size for this bed size is 72 inches wide and 84 inches long.
Now that you know the size of the bed, the terms used to call them and their exact measurements; it will be easier for you to find deep ordinary sheets for your beds. You are one step closer to achieving the most comfortable sleep you would like to have in your home.
