Standard Sizing Guidelines for Sheets, Blankets, Comforter Sets, and Throws
Sheets Sizing Guide
What is a Fitted Sheet?
The fitted sheet is an elastic-lined sheet that fits snugly around your mattress. It keeps you comfortable while also keeping your mattress or mattress pad clean.
The fitted sheet has three dimensions – length, width, and pocket depth.
A common complaint is a fitted sheet that slides off of the mattress. The most likely cause of this is a pocket that isn’t deep enough.
With Berkshire Blanket sheet sets, our fitted sheets’ pocket depth is a minimum of up to 13 inches. This means it will fit the majority of mattress types.
What is a Flat Sheet?
The flat sheet is the top layer sheet. It’s placed between you and the comforter or blanket to serve as an extra layer of warmth. It can also be used as a standalone layer in the warmer months.
The flat sheet isn’t necessary. However, it enables you to control your temperature throughout the night easier. Using a flat sheet can prevent you from overheating or getting too chilly.
Sheet Sets’ Size Guide
It’s true that sheet sizes are, for the most part, standardized across the industry.
So, what are these standard sizes?
- TWIN flat sheet 66 x 90 inches, fitted sheet fits mattress 39 x 75 inches, up to 13 inches deep
- TWIN XL flat sheet 66 x 94 inches, fitted sheet fits mattress 39 x 75 inches, up to 13 inches deep

- CAL KING flat sheet 108 x 100 inches, fitted sheet fits mattress 71 x 83 inches, up to 18 inches deep
The size of your sheet set will often also determine the number of pillowcases or shams that are included.
Twin and Twin XL sets will often come with one standard size (20 x 30 inches) pillowcase. Full and Queen will often come with two standard size (20 x 30 inches) pillowcases. King and California King will often come with two king size (20 x 40 inches) pillowcases.
