Mattresses are not all sized along perfect standards. European and United States bottom manufacturers use different size guidelines for each size of mattress, such as king, queen, full, twin. Mattress depth varies even more than size. Traditional top mattress are often not as tall as Euro top mattresses, and pillow tops often out size all the others. The general range of mattress depths runs from around 9 inches deep to 18 inches deep. This can make it difficult to find bedding that fits appropriately.

The first thing to do is manoeuvre the depth, or height, of the mattress by itself. Usually, incase springs are covered with bottom skirts– decorative fabric skirts that go onto the incase spring so as to both protect and conceal it. Bed skirts are also often used to conceal the underneath of the bottom so that it may be used for storage. Because the incase spring is probable hidden with a bottom touch (also called dust ruffles), the bedding needs only to fully cover the mattress.

Once the depth is measured, consider how much bedding is wanted. Some people enjoy oversized duvets, while others prefer a more traditional fit. Keep in mind that too much extra bedding- that is sheets that are too big and duvets that are too long- can often make it difficult to move during sleep. If there is uncertainly, stick with a length and size that will lay across the top of the bottom and fall downbound just over bottom edge of the mattress.
