Guide d'Achat étape par étape

Step 1: Measure Your Mattress

French mattresses come in the following sizes:

  • 90cm x 190cm (Single)
  • 140cm x 190cm (Double)
  • 160cm x 200cm (Queen)
  • 180cm x 200cm (King)

Begin by measuring the length, width, and height of your mattress to ensure you select the right size.

Mattress Height Tip: If your mattress is taller than 30cm, we recommend choosing a flat sheet rather than a fitted sheet for a better fit.

Frequently Asked Questions – Sizing Concerns

Q1: What if my mattress is deeper than 30cm?
If your mattress is deeper than 30 cm, we recommend a flat sheet for better flexibility or upsizing. Make sure the sheet size matches the width and length of your mattress.

Q2: How do I measure for the right duvet cover?
Measure the length and width of your duvet insert.

  • If larger than the cover size: Choose a larger size to avoid bunching.
  • If smaller than the cover size: Select a smaller cover for a snug fit.

Q3: Can I use a Medium duvet cover for a Queen bed?
Yes, Medium duvet covers fit Queen beds well. If you prefer more drape on the sides, consider upsizing to Large.

Q4: What size works best for oversized Queen or King mattresses?
For oversized mattresses or deep pocket beds, our Large size (King & Oversized Queen) with a flat sheet is the best choice for flexibility.

Q5: What’s the best size for Twin XL dorm beds?
Most Twin XL dorm beds fit a Small size bed set. Use a flat sheet for flexibility, especially if the mattress has a topper or is thicker than 25 cm.

Q6: Are Ever Lasting pillowcases compatible with extra-large pillows?
Our pillowcases are standard 50 cm x 76 cm (20in x 30in), which fit most traditional pillows. For body or Euro pillows, consider contacting us for additional options.
