Ikea European King Size Bed Sheets

No, standard UK king size fitted sheets (150cm x 200cm) will not fit an IKEA Euro king mattress (160cm x 200cm). The 10cm width difference means a UK king size sheet will be too narrow and will pull free from the corners during use.

This is one of the most common bedding compatibility mistakes in the UK. IKEA uses European sizing throughout its bed range, which does not align with standard UK dimensions. If you own an IKEA bed frame with an IKEA mattress, you need sheets specifically sized for the IKEA Euro king (160cm x 200cm). Belledorm's IKEA Euro king range is sized to fit these European dimensions correctly.

A standard UK king size mattress measures 150cm x 200cm. An IKEA Euro king measures 160cm x 200cm, 10cm wider at the same length. The two sizes use different fitted sheets which are not interchangeable.

The 10cm width difference is enough to cause a standard UK king size fitted sheet to pull free from the corners of an IKEA mattress. The IKEA Euro king is based on the European standard king size used across much of continental Europe, where 160cm x 200cm is the norm rather than the UK's 150cm x 200cm. If you have an IKEA bed frame but a non-IKEA mattress, measure your mattress width carefully before purchasing - 150cm requires UK king size sheets, 160cm requires IKEA Euro king sheets.

Yes, IKEA duvet covers also follow European sizing and are not the same as standard UK king size duvet covers. An IKEA Euro king duvet cover measures 240cm x 220cm, compared to the UK king size standard of 225cm x 220cm.

The 15cm width difference means a standard UK king size duvet cover will fit an IKEA Euro king duvet but will be slightly narrower, resulting in less overhang at the sides. For a properly fitted finish, Belledorm's IKEA Euro king duvet covers (240cm x 220cm) match IKEA's European duvet dimensions. If you are replacing bedding on an IKEA bed, always check whether you need IKEA Euro king sizing (160cm x 200cm fitted sheet, 240cm x 220cm duvet cover) rather than standard UK king size.

IKEA Euro king sheets (160cm x 200cm) are a specialist size that is not stocked by all UK bedding brands, availability is more limited than standard UK king size. Belledorm is one of the few UK bedding manufacturers to offer a dedicated IKEA Euro king range.

Limited availability of this size is the most common frustration reported by IKEA bed owners in the UK. Standard UK bedding retailers stock UK dimensions, not European dimensions, meaning IKEA bed owners often struggle to find correctly fitting sheets. Belledorm's IKEA Euro king range covers the full fabric selection - from polycotton through to Egyptian cotton sateen - in the correct 160cm x 200cm fitted sheet size.

Yes, UK double bed sheet dimensions are standardised: fitted sheets are 135cm x 190cm, flat sheets are 230cm x 275cm, and duvet covers are 200cm x 200cm. Belledorm's double range follows these standard UK dimensions throughout.

The one variable is fitted sheet depth, this is not standardised and varies by product and brand. Always check the box depth (30cm, 38cm, or 46cm) against your mattress measurement before purchasing. One common point of confusion is the duvet cover: a double duvet cover (200cm x 200cm) is square, not rectangular, this is correct and standard across the UK industry. If you are buying bedding as a gift or for a property you cannot measure, standard UK double dimensions apply to the overwhelming majority of double beds manufactured since 2000.
