Standard Bed Sheet Size Chart (U.S.)
Organic bedding follows standard U.S. mattress dimensions, but sheet fit can vary based on mattress depth and fabric behavior. The chart below shows standard mattress sizes, along with flat sheet dimensions, fitted sheet dimensions, and typical pocket depth ranges used in U.S. bedding.
| Mattress Size | Mattress Dimensions | Flat Sheet Size | Fitted Sheet Size | Typical Pocket Depth |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Twin | 39″ × 75″ | 66″ × 96″ | 39″ × 75″ | 10–14″ |
| Twin XL | 39″ × 80″ | 66″ × 102″ | 39″ × 80″ | 10–14″ |
| Full / Double | 54″ × 75″ | 81″ × 96″ | 54″ × 75″ | 12–15″ |
| Queen | 60″ × 80″ | 90″ × 102″ | 60″ × 80″ | 12–16″ |
| King | 76″ × 80″ | 108″ × 102″ | 76″ × 80″ | 14–18″ |
| California King | 72″ × 84″ | 108″ × 102″ | 72″ × 84″ | 14–18″ |
How to Use This Chart
Flat sheets should provide enough overhang to tuck securely on both sides of the mattress.
Fitted sheets must match mattress length and width and accommodate depth.
Pocket depth becomes critical for modern mattresses, pillow-tops, and toppers—especially with organic sheets that rely on elastic tension rather than synthetic stretch.
Why Pocket Depth Matters for Organic Sheets
Many organic sheet sets are made without synthetic fibers, meaning they don’t stretch the same way conventional sheets do. If your mattress is 14 inches or deeper, choosing a deep-pocket fitted sheet helps prevent slipping, bunching, or corners popping off overnight.
How Mattress Depth Affects Sheet Fit
One of the most common reasons sheets slip, bunch, or pop off overnight is mattress depth. Modern mattresses are significantly thicker than older models, especially when combined with pillow-tops or mattress toppers. Organic sheets, which rely less on synthetic stretch, require accurate pocket depth for a secure fit.
Mattress Depth & Recommended Pocket Size
| Mattress Depth | Recommended Pocket Type |
|---|---|
| 7–12 inches | Standard Pocket |
| 13–16 inches | Deep Pocket |
| 17 inches or more | Extra-Deep Pocket |
Why This Matters for Organic Bedding
Organic fitted sheets are often made with tighter weaves and fewer elastic additives, which improves breathability but reduces stretch. If pocket depth is too shallow, corners may lift during the night — especially on thicker mattresses.
Quick Fit Tip
If your mattress measures 14 inches or deeper, choose a deep-pocket or extra-deep pocket fitted sheet, even if the length and width match your bed size exactly.
Why Bedding Size Matters for Better Sleep
An oversized comforter traps heat; an undersized one tugs at your toes. Proper sizing keeps airflow balanced, helping regulate body temperature—especially important for hot sleepers. Organic materials like regenerative wool and GOTS-certified cotton breathe naturally, moving moisture and warmth in harmony with your body.
Quick tip: When in doubt, size up your duvet or comforter by one dimension; it creates that hotel-style drape and seals in insulation without weight.
🌿 Why Choose Organic Bedding: Health, Sustainability, and Quality
Finding the right organic bedding sizes is only half the story; the materials themselves are just as critical for quality sleep and planetary health. While dimensions for organic bedding sizes are the same as conventional options, the integrity of materials like GOTS-certified organic cotton and regenerative wool delivers a completely different experience.

Health Benefits: Non-Toxic and Hypoallergenic Bedding
Conventional sheets and comforters are often treated with harsh chemicals. Choosing truly non-toxic bedding means:
Purer Fibers: GOTS-certified cotton sheets are grown without pesticides, leading to a sleeping environment free of contaminants that can trigger sensitivities.
Hypoallergenic Comfort: Regenerative wool comforters naturally resist dust mites and mold, making them the best organic bedding choice for those seeking hypoallergenic sheets and duvets.
Ethical and Sustainable Sourcing
When you invest in ethically sourced bedding, you are supporting systems that actively improve the planet.
The Regenerative Difference: Certifications ensure that your fiber is sourced from farms practicing regenerative agriculture—a method that restores soil health. This is more than just sustainable bedding; it’s restorative.
Durability and Value: Best organic bedding brands use longer, stronger fibers that haven’t been chemically weakened. This means your set will maintain its integrity and drape wash after wash.
Standard Organic Bedding Sizes
| Bed Size | Duvet / Comforter (in) | Sheet Set (Fitted / Flat) | Pillowcase |
| Twin | 68 x 86 | 39 x 75 / 66 x 96 | 20 x 26 |
| Full / Double | 80 x 90 | 54 x 75 / 81 x 96 | 20 x 30 |
| Queen | 90 x 94 | 60 x 80 / 90 x 102 | 20 x 30 |
| King | 104 x 94 | 78 x 80 / 108 x 102 | 20 x 40 |
| California King | 108 x 98 | 72 x 84 / 110 x 108 | 20 x 40 |
Note: Antipodean Home’s organic cotton sheets king and organic regenerative wool comforter queen follow U.S. standards for easy pairing.
Organic Bedding Size Chart (U.S. Standard Dimensions)
While organic bedding follows standard U.S. sizing, fit can vary depending on fabric shrinkage, weave, and mattress depth. This organic bedding size chart shows standard dimensions and highlights where sizing issues most often occur.
| Bedding Type | Twin | Full | Queen | King | Cal King |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fitted Sheet | 39” × 75” | 54” × 75” | 60” × 80” | 76” × 80” | 72” × 84” |
| Flat Sheet | 66” × 96” | 81” × 96” | 90” × 102” | 108” × 102” | 108” × 102” |
| Comforter | — | 86” × 86” | 90” × 94” | 108” × 94” | 108” × 98” |
U.S. Bedding Sizes vs Other Regions (Why Fit Can Feel “Off”)
Bedding sizes are not universal. U.S. bedding dimensions differ from UK, EU, and AU standards, which can cause fit issues when buying organic bedding made overseas. U.S. mattresses are typically thicker, and American comforters are designed with more overhang than their European counterparts.
- U.S. king comforters are wider than UK super king
- European duvets prioritize length over width
- Organic bedding made for EU markets may feel narrow on U.S. beds
How Mattress Thickness Affects Organic Sheet Fit
Mattress depth is one of the most overlooked causes of poor sheet fit. Many modern mattresses range from 12 to 18 inches deep, which can strain standard organic fitted sheets if pocket depth isn’t considered.
- 10–12 inch mattress → standard fitted sheets usually work
- 14–16 inch mattress → deep-pocket organic sheets recommended
- 17–18+ inch mattress → oversized or reinforced elastic required
🛏️ Beyond the Chart: How to Solve Common Bedding Sizing Problems
Standard organic bedding sizes don't always account for today’s thicker mattresses and specialized beds. Choosing the right organic comforter is just as important as getting the right sheet size, especially with today’s deeper mattresses. Here's how to ensure a perfect fit:
The Deep-Pocket Dilemma: Fitted Sheets That Stay Put
Modern pillow-top mattresses often exceed 14 inches in depth. Standard fitted sheets will pop off nightly. To prevent this, you need deep-pocket organic cotton sheets.
Look for 15-17+ Inch Pockets: Always measure your mattress depth first. The best fitted sheets have fully elasticized hems and pocket depths between 15 and 17 inches (or more) to accommodate thick mattresses or foam toppers.
Adjustable Bed Solutions: For motion bases or adjustable mattresses, choose flexible organic jersey knits or sheets labeled with extra-deep pockets for smooth movement.

Achieving the Perfect Comforter Drape
The ideal comforter should hang at least 10 inches over the sides of your mattress.
The Queen/King Strategy: If you have a deep Queen mattress and prefer generous, luxurious coverage, consider using a king wool comforter on a queen bed for maximum overhang without the bulk of a true oversized king comforter.
The Cal King Difference: Remember that California King beds are narrower and longer than standard King beds. Ensure you buy sheets and comforters specifically labeled organic bedding California king to match the dimensions.
How Organic Materials Affect Fit and Feel
1. Regenerative Wool Comforters
Wool naturally expands and contracts with humidity. Our New Zealand-crafted, Airlay-spun comforters keep their loft yet remain lighter than bulky synthetics. If you prefer generous coverage, choose one size up—a king wool comforter on a queen bed offers a luxe, tucked-in look.
2. Organic Cotton Sheets
Organic cotton sheet sets are woven tighter than conventional cotton, giving a refined drape with minimal shrinkage. Look for elasticized deep pockets (15–17 inches) to fit modern mattresses.
3. Layering for Temperature Control
Pair breathable organic cotton sheets king with a lightweight wool duvet insert to balance warmth year-round. This natural pairing keeps your circadian rhythm steady by reducing nighttime overheating, making it the best bedding for hot sleepers.
Choosing the Right Combination
| Climate | Ideal Bedding Pair | Why It Works |
| Warm / Humid | Organic cotton sheets king + lightweight wool duvet insert | Wicks moisture, cools hot sleepers |
| Moderate | Organic wool comforter queen + organic cotton sheets | Balances insulation and breathability |
| Cool / Dry | All-season wool comforter + brushed cotton sheets | Traps warmth while staying breathable |
Sustainable Sizing Tips
Measure your mattress depth before ordering; organic fabrics don’t contain stretch synthetics.
Avoid oversizing sheets beyond one size—natural fibers perform best when fitted properly.
Check certifications: GOTS for cotton, ZQ or ZQRX for wool ensure organic integrity and ethical farming.
Wash cold, line dry—it preserves shape and reduces energy use by up to 40%.
The Regenerative Difference
At Antipodean Home, we do more than sustain—our materials actively restore and revive our natural world.

The result: refined comfort that honors both body and earth.

FAQs on Wool Duvet Inserts, Comforters & Sustainable Bedding
Do organic cotton sheets shrink?
Minimal shrinkage (<3%) when washed cold and tumble-dried low.
What’s the best size comforter for a queen bed?
A 90×94 inch wool comforter offers balanced coverage; size up to king for extra drape and a luxe feel.
Are organic bedding sizes different from regular ones?
Dimensions are the same; the difference lies in fiber integrity, breathability, and longevity.
Can I mix wool and cotton in the same bedding setup?
Absolutely—pairing organic cotton sheets with a wool duvet insert creates an adaptive microclimate for deeper sleep.
What size sheets fit adjustable mattresses?
Choose deep-pocket fitted sheets (17 in +) or flexible organic jersey knits for motion bases.
What size organic sheet set fits a 16-inch mattress?
A 16-inch mattress typically requires deep-pocket organic fitted sheets with at least 17 inches of pocket depth. Standard sheets often slip off deeper mattresses, especially after washing.
How much overhang should a queen comforter have?
A queen comforter should hang 12–15 inches on each side of the mattress. This allows full coverage when sleeping and prevents drafts, especially for active or hot sleepers.
Are organic comforters sized differently than regular comforters?
Organic comforters generally follow standard dimensions, but natural fibers can loft and drape differently than synthetic fills. This can affect perceived coverage, making sizing and overhang more important.
Should I size up my comforter for a thicker mattress?
Yes. Thicker mattresses often benefit from sizing up, especially if you prefer more side coverage or share a bed. Many sleepers choose a king comforter on a queen mattress for better drape.
Why does my comforter feel too small even though I bought the right size?
Common causes include mattress thickness, low overhang, shrinkage after washing, or bedding designed for non-U.S. dimensions. Organic materials make proper sizing more important, not less.
