Bed Sheet Size Conversion Guide by Region
Convert bed sheet sizes across US, UK and EU bedding standards with mattress depth, fitted sheet and pillowcase tips for better bedroom fit.
Bed sheet conversion is not just about matching single, double, queen or king labels. Fitted sheets need the correct mattress width, length and depth. Start with the Mattress/Bed Size Converter to compare US, UK and EU bed dimensions before choosing bedding.
Measure Mattress Depth
Fitted sheets can fail even when width and length match if the mattress is too thick. Measure from the top surface to the bottom edge, including toppers or pillow tops. Look for pocket depth on the sheet listing, and choose deep-pocket sheets if your mattress is thicker than standard.
Compare Regional Bed Names
A US queen, UK king and EU king are not the same size. International bedding labels are useful only after you compare actual dimensions. Flat sheets offer more flexibility, but fitted sheets need a closer match because elastic corners depend on precise measurements.
Match Pillowcases Separately
Pillowcases should match pillow dimensions, not just bed size. Use the Pillow Size Converter to compare standard, queen, king and European square pillows before buying cases from another region.
