Size matters, especially when it comes to your bed linen. Even the sales representative at the bedding section of a department store will tell you, besides quality, that the correct size of your chosen bedding is of the utmost importance to ensure a restful sleep.

But how do you know what is the right size and where can you find a proper understanding of a single-, twin-, king- or queen bed’s dimensions? Some manufacturers will make their beds either smaller or larger than the standard size, which is known as custom-made beds, but these sizes can offer many challenges when you are looking to buy the right size bedding.

If you are not sure of the size of your bed, you must measure it before buying any bed linen. You will understand exactly why when you have bought a queen-fitted sheet, which does not fit on the king-size bed that you own. No matter how hard you go about trying, that beautiful, durable queen-fitted sheet was made for a queen-sized bed, and you could end up damaging the material if you try to force it to fit.

Another common mistake that people often make when they are unsure about the size ...
... is to buy a fitted sheet that is larger than the actual size of their bed. This will cause endless problems while you try to sleep because the fitted sheet will not stay in position on your mattress (despite the elastic stretch) and by the second turn, everything will just end up on one tangled heap in the middle of your legs.

It can become quite a tricky business to buy the right size bed linen, and if you are going to buy them online, you need to make 100% sure that you purchase the right size. It does not matter if you are a perfectionist, or someone who just straightens the duvet at the top so that it looks slightly neat, your bedding should always be comfortable and durable. The last thing you want when you get in between the sheets at night is to let your well-deserved rest be disturbed by your sheets.

Making a stylish bed is not difficult at all, especially if you are equipped with the necessary knowledge. Start with a night frill which is placed between the base and the mattress, for a stylish look. You can also cover your mattress with a protector and then follow it up with a fitted sheet. Again, it is important that if you have a queen-sized bed, that you use a queen fitted sheet and nothing else.
Now line up the bed with a flat sheet and again you are reminded that the right size also plays a role here. A sheet that is too small will barely cover half of the bed. The perfectionists tend to make a 'hospital fold' with the flat sheet, by pulling the bottom corners straight outwards. Fold everything neatly together for a nice finish.

The choice between a duvet or comforter is based entirely on personal taste. Some people find that comforters are ideal when they need to make a bed quickly and easily, while others find that duvets offer more decorative luxury and comfort. You can choose any of the two, as long as you choose the right size. If you have a queen-sized bed, buy a queen-sized duvet or comforter.

The only time when the size of your bed no longer counts is when you start to decorate it with scatter pillows and throws. Here you can express your creative mind with a burst of colour, or keep it minimalistic, but keep in mind what you are going to do with all the extra accessories when you get into bed at night.

The typical dimensions of a standard queen size bed in Australia are 153 cm x 203 cm (metric measurements) and 5'0 "x 6'8" (60 "x 80") (imperial measurements). However, if you own a custom-made bed with a non-standard size and need to buy bedding, it is not the end of the world, as some leading linen manufacturers in Australia also make linen bedding according to your requirements or specific measurements.

You can visit their website for more information and browse through their online products catalogue, which will give you a better idea of how you can cover your bed with beautiful, durable linen.
