Measure Width, Length And Depth
Use a tape measure across the widest and longest points of the mattress, then measure from the bottom edge to the top of any topper. Do not rely on an old mattress specification if the current bed has added layers.
Understand Pocket Depth
A fitted sheet needs enough pocket depth to wrap the mattress securely. Too little depth causes corners to pull free; extreme excess can leave more fabric to manage.
Check Flat-Sheet Dimensions
Flat sheets do not use pockets, so compare their total dimensions and decide how much tuck or overhang you prefer.
Check Pillowcases In Sets
A queen or king sheet set can include different pillowcase sizes and quantities. Count pieces and compare case dimensions with your actual pillows.
