Single bed sheet size - Double bed sheet size - Double bed duvet sheet size

Hong Kong, with its limited space, strives to maximize bedroom space, resulting in a particularly wide variety of mattress sizes compared to other parts of the world. What should you consider when choosing a mattress? What are the most common sheet sizes? Is it true that bigger sheets are always better? And what happens if the sheets and duvet cover don't fit? This article will break down all your questions about mattress and sheet sizes!

The effects of ill-fitting bed sheets and duvet covers

Size matters! The size of bedding, such as sheets and duvet covers, is really important! Buying the wrong size bedding will definitely affect your sleep quality. Since my family has been in the bedding business in Hong Kong since the 1940s (click onthe company background history to learn more) , for nearly 80 years, we have noticed that many people do not know their mattress or duvet size when shopping, and therefore buy a larger sheet or duvet cover to use.

Of course, if the sheet is too large, you can manage to slip it on, but it's definitely not an ideal choice. First, oversized sheets or duvet covers make the bed look messy and unsightly. More importantly, ill-fitting sheets or duvet covers can affect sleep. When a sheet is too large, the excess fabric will wrinkle and press against your back when you turn over in bed. Plus, if the sheet doesn't fit the mattress properly, it can easily slip, affecting sleep quality. Similarly, if a duvet cover is too large, it can shift, resulting in uneven coverage and potentially making you feel cold in the middle of the night, leading to poor sleep.

To put it another way, if you can use the right size sheets and duvet covers, why buy an unsuitable size? Therefore, we recommend that when buying sheets and duvet covers, you should first measure the size of your mattress and comforter. Even if they don't match perfectly, it's best to buy a close size!

Hong Kong Common Bed Sheet and Duvet Cover Size Guide

The next step is to discuss the common mattress and comforter sizes in Hong Kong, and how to choose the corresponding sheet and duvet cover sizes, so that everyone can have a reference when purchasing bedding!

Due to historical reasons, the current mainstream mattress and quilt sizes in Hong Kong are generally measured and standardized using the imperial system (feet, inch). They are usually referred to by the "width" of the mattress, such as "three-foot bed" or "four-foot bed".

Here are five common bed widths in Hong Kong and their English names.

  • Three-foot bed (Single)
  • Four-foot bed (Double)
  • 4.5-foot bed (Full)
  • Five-foot bed (Queen)
  • Six-foot bed (King)

The width of each of the above beds can be matched with different lengths, and there are also other sizes between each size (such as two and a half feet, three and a half feet) .

Four common quilt sizes in Hong Kong

As for quilts, Hong Kong quilts mainly come in the following four sizes:

60" x 90" (152 x 220cm) *

70" x 90" (178 x 220cm)

80" x 90" (203 x 220cm) *

90" x 98" (249 x 229 cm)

The situation is a bit special with comforters. Although four sizes are listed above, the 60" x 90" (152 x 220CM) (single) and 80" x 90" (203 x 220CM) (double), marked with an asterisk (*), are the most commonly used. If you are buying a comforter, you can't go wrong by choosing these two sizes!

  • The 70" x 90" (178 x 220CM) blanket was traditionally used with a smaller double bed (such as a four-foot bed), but in recent years, many couples have increasingly preferred larger blankets and switched to the 80" x 90" (203 x 220CM) size, so that they can turn around without disturbing the person next to them.
  • The 90" x 98" (249 x 229 cm) size is nearly 2.5 meters wide, requiring a custom-made mattress of six feet wide King Size or even larger. It also has certain requirements for bedroom size, making it relatively rare in Hong Kong homes.

Mattress Measurement Teaching

How do I find my mattress size?

After understanding the correspondence between mattress and sheet sizes , the next step is to find the size of your mattress!

Many people might think that finding mattress dimensions is easy—just take a measuring tape. However, this isn't the case. Because mattresses often have rounded corners and are relatively soft, plus their large surface area, measuring with a measuring tape is prone to errors. The ideal way to find the correct mattress dimensions is to try and retrieve your mattress order records. For example, you could find your online order confirmation email, a physical receipt from a store, or a photo of the physical receipt from when the mattress was delivered. Only if you truly cannot find the purchase record should you measure the mattress.

Methods and techniques for measuring mattresses

When measuring mattress dimensions, it is recommended to use a metal measuring tape and place it against the edge of the mattress to measure its length and width. If the mattress has rounded corners, ignore the rounded corners when measuring length and width; that is, measure the actual length and width of the mattress itself, not the length after rounding, as this will result in a shorter measurement. Because a metal measuring tape is rigid, it can straighten itself, making it better than a flexible measuring tape.

Recommended Re Bedding sheets & Re Cover duvet covers

After measuring your mattress and duvet cover , it's time to choose your favorite sheets and duvet cover ! Here, we'd like to introduce our Re Bedding sheets and Re Cover duvet covers – two convenient and easy-to-use new styles !

Re Bedding New Bed Sheet Recommendations

Re-bedding new sheets This is one of our most popular original patented products, and it even won the 2025 Hong Kong Smart Design Awards . The "New Sheet" is a new type of sheet we designed that is easier to remove and change. This sheet consists of two parts: the outer layer and the bottom frame, connected by a zipper. To change the sheet, simply unzip the zipper to replace the outer layer, while the bottom frame remains on the mattress, surrounding the four sides. This eliminates the need to lift the mattress, making washing and changing much more convenient. Of course, the bottom frame covering the four sides of the mattress can also be removed and washed independently. However, since we usually sleep on the surface of the mattress, not beside it, we only need to change the outer layer.

Re Cover New Blanket Bag Recommendation

Regarding duvet covers, we recommend Re Cover . Do you find changing duvet covers a hassle? Reaching into the cover and aligning the corners and edges of the duvet cover with the cover is very inconvenient. Even if some instructions suggest turning the duvet cover inside out, it still requires considerable effort to turn and unfold such a large cover, making duvet cover changing a real challenge!

Therefore, we spent time figuring out a way to make changing bed sheets easy from now on:
Regular duvet covers typically only have one opening, requiring the duvet to be inserted through that opening when changing them, making alignment difficult. Our Re Cover duvet cover, however, features a patented, innovative double-opening design. With an opening at each end, you can insert the duvet and pull it out from the other end, visibly aligning the duvet and making duvet cover changing effortless! Furthermore, the duvet cover has an eight-point cord positioning design to accommodate different brands of duvet inserts, preventing the duvet from shifting inside the cover.
