The Anatomy of a Perfect Fit

The secret to a truly comfortable and beautiful bed lies in the details. The right size ensures crisp lines, smooth surfaces, and a feel that’s just right. This guide is your map to achieving that perfect fit, tailored for your unique sanctuary.

Before You Choose

For the most accurate fit, especially for fitted sheets, we recommend taking a moment to measure your mattress. All you need is a tape measure.

  1. Measure the Width: Run your tape measure from the left edge to the right edge of your mattress.
  2. Measure the Length: Measure from the head to the foot of the mattress.
  3. Measure the Depth (Height): This is the most critical measurement. Measure from the bottom seam to the top seam. If you use a mattress topper, be sure to include it in your measurement.

Designed for Modern Mattresses

We know modern mattresses, often with plush toppers, are deeper than ever. That’s why all Home Nest fitted sheets are crafted with a generous 16-inch deep pocket. This ensures a secure, snug fit on mattresses up to 15 inches deep, without slipping or bunching.

How should a duvet cover fit?

A duvet cover should be slightly larger than the duvet insert to allow for a lofty, full look. Our covers are sized to fit standard inserts perfectly, with a few extra inches for that plush appearance. We recommend a gentle drape over the sides of the bed.

What if I have a custom mattress?

For custom sizes, we recommend comparing your mattress dimensions to our chart. The most important fit is the fitted sheet. If your dimensions are unique, you may need to find a specialist. For duvets and flat sheets, you can often size up for more coverage.

Do your materials shrink after washing?

We pre-wash many of our fabrics, like linen, to minimize shrinkage. Natural fibers can shrink slightly (typically 2-4%) upon the first wash. We account for this in our sizing, so you can follow the care instructions with confidence that your bedding will maintain its intended fit.
