Designer Bedding Sets Online || King Size to Baby Bed Sets

If you are looking for designer bedding sets online, or even king size to baby bed sets, then you must make sure you are searching the correct websites.

You will find a huge selection of sites online that are selling bed linen from children’s to California King bed sets.

Many people are unsure exactly what they need when they carry out an online search for designer bed sets. They start looking before they have decided their specific requirements.

Exactly what size of bed do they have? A queen bed to one could be a king bed to another, and so on to what exactly is a California King? What size is a child’s bed?

Is a single bed the same as one member of a twin? Easy when you know the answers, but not so easy if you are unsure! You do not want to be spending cash on a king if all you need is a queen bed set.

So, here are some tips to make sure that you choose the correct size of designer bedding sets online for you – whether they are king size bedding or baby bed sets.

You could measure your sizes on your own beds, but what if you are buying a wedding gift, or simply bedding for a relative such as your son or daughter and do not want to ask them because then it would not be a surprise?

Standard American Mattress Sizes

First check out these standard American mattress sizes (in inches):

• Twin: 39 x 75
• Double / Fill Size: 54 x 75
• Queen: 60 x 80
• King: 76 x 80
• Cal King: 72 x 84

There are many different interpretations of such definitions, although these are the most common. When you buy a bed make sure you know the dimensions of the mattress.

If you are purchasing designer bedding sets for your existing beds, then measure the length and width of the mattress.

How to Choose Designer Bedding Sets Online

A designer bedding set can consist of any of a number of different items.

You will generally have a flat or fitted sheet covering the mattress. A flat sheet is either fitted to the exact dimensions or tucked under the mattress round all four sides.

You may also choose a flat top sheet, lying between the flat sheet and duvet or comforter.

Many people do not use a top sheet, since it tenders to be unnecessary, particularly in warmer climates. In colder regions both a top sheet and additional blankets might be used.

Make sure that your designer bedding is rated for your size of bed, or alternatively that its dimensions are sufficient to meet your personal needs.

Some people like lots of bedding hanging over the mattress so they can cuddle in and get comfortable. If you are using a flat sheet, then that should be of a size sufficient to tuck under the mattress all round – or be elastically fitted to it.

Duvet or Comforter?

Many Americans prefer just the comforter, although a duvet is generally thicker and warmer.

With either, you need lots of width and length to cover the mattress and then lots more! Note that the comforter should be a good two feet or more greater in width than the mattress and 8-12 inches longer.

A duvet is often shorter and less wide than a comforter, but still larger than the mattress.

For example, a California King comforter can be anything from 104 to 114 inches wide and 92 to 106 inches long give or take a few inches depending on the actual dimensions of your mattress.

A Cal-king duvet and cover, on the other hand, might be best at around 90 – 94 inches wide and 104 inches long. As previously mentioned, many Americans are happy to use a comforter and leave the duvet.

Other items, such as a bed skirt, bed ruffle, mattress protector, bolsters, pillows, shams and so on should be chosen to suit your size of bed.

When you purchase designer bedding sets online, you should make sure that the dimensions are all suitable for your mattress. Generally, you will find that every item in a bedding set is good for the standard mattress sizes above.

Whether you are shopping for California king size bedding or for baby bed sets, dimensions are not so critical for duvets and comforters.

However, make sure that sheets, skirts and ruffles match your mattress and shams and pillow slips match the dimensions of your pillows.

Do that, and shopping for designer bedding sets online can be great fun. There is fantastic selection of beautiful sets for any bed and any décor to be found on the internet.
