How to Choose the Right Duvet and Sheet Size in cm: Silk Bedding Buying Guide
With demand for silk bedding on the rise across the UK, Europe, and beyond, understanding sizing standards has become essential for consumers seeking both style and value.
(firmenpresse) - In 2025, silk bedding has become the epitome of quiet luxury, and is now the center of a vast and growing global market valued at over $2.5 billion. However, as Lifehack recently reported, while luxury duvet sets and bedding, especially silk ones, are an increasingly popular choice, many shoppers are choosing the wrong sizes—mistaking their bed size or frame and mattress type, and either undersizing or oversizing for their preferred aesthetic, whether they prefer a clean tuck or an artful overhang.
As silk is a more costly natural fabric than cotton—one of the most common fabrics for bed linens—and is also priced more highly than cheaper synthetic alternatives like polyester, brands operating in the space, like Mayfairsilk, a luxury silk house based in London, know that these products are an investment, and that buyers are looking for both ease as well as luxury when they are shopping for silk bedding.
How To Size SilkUnfortunately, with more shoppers in the UK and Europe, as well as further beyond in the US and Australia, now opting for silk—and, as such, with more international vendors selling these items—it is now often more challenging to find the right size, especially as sites often alternate centimetres and inches, and observe a mix of local and international mattress sizes.
As such, it is recommended not to rely solely on the standard bed names but to check the actual size measurement, alongside the recommended measurements for the duvet, fitted sheet and flat sheet sizes needed for that bed type.
For example, for UK shoppers, a single duvet cover should be sized at around 140 × 200 cm, fitted sheets at 90 × 190 × 35 cm, and flat sheets at 180 × 275 cm, while a double will extend to 200 × 200 cm for the duvet, with fitted sheets at 140 × 190 × 35 cm.
For those shoppers who have a bed with more generous proportions, UK king duvets typically cover 230 x 220 cm and super kings 260 × 220 cm, with UK emperor duvets measuring at an expansive 290 × 235 cm—with the flat and fitted sheets also increasing in size at each step.
Choosing Complementary CushionsAs it is unlikely that shoppers will simply purchase a silk duvet and sheet set and leave their pillowcases untouched—especially considering the rising popularity of silk pillowcases among beauty and wellness-focused shoppers—it is also important to understand pillowcase sizing.
Thankfully, there are some international similarities between the UK Standard and US Queen sizes at 50 × 75 cm and the UK Super King and US King at 50 × 90 cm.
As silk lounge cushion covers also become more popular, many retailers and silk houses are now also offering a versatile selection of cushion covers, typically ranging from 40 × 40 cm through to Euro shams at 65 × 65 cm.
Why Does It Matter?As a representative from Mayfairsilk said, “Choosing the correct size bedding is crucial for achieving a polished, professional look for your living and sleeping spaces. Whether you’re looking to refresh your bedroom or add a touch of elegance to your living room, selecting the right size is the first step.”
Beyond sizing accuracy, prospective shoppers should look for other markers of quality before they invest in silk bedding. This includes the type of silk, the grade, and the weight— luxury silk houses recommend grade 6A 100% pure mulberry silk bedding with a high momme, like 22 or 25.
Final ThoughtsWith the global market for silk textiles steadily expanding, shoppers are becoming increasingly discerning, prioritising accuracy in sizing, premium material grades, and thoughtful craftsmanship.
By selecting the correct dimensions and opting for high-grade mulberry silk with a higher momme weight, buyers can be confident that their purchase will not only enhance the elegance of their home but also deliver on durability and everyday practicality.
