Super Single Bed Sheets

Belledorm's super single fitted sheets are sized for mattresses measuring 107cm x 200cm (3ft 6in x 6ft 6in), wider than a standard single (90cm) and longer, positioned between a single and a small double in width.

For complete bedding, the corresponding sizes are:

The super single is less common in the UK market than standard single or small double, but is found in some older bed frames, European-specification beds, and custom-built sleeping arrangements. Always measure your mattress before purchasing — 107cm width is super single, 90cm is standard single, 120cm is small double.

A super single bed measures approximately 107cm x 200cm. A small double (4ft) measures 120cm x 190cm — 13cm wider but 10cm shorter. The two sizes use different fitted sheets which are not interchangeable.

If you are unsure which size your mattress is, measure both the width and length: 107cm x 200cm is super single, 120cm x 190cm is small double. The small double is the more widely available size in the UK, so confirming your measurements before ordering avoids purchasing the wrong fitted sheet.

A super single bed (107cm x 200cm) is designed as a generous single sleeping space and is not recommended as a regular shared bed for two adults, it provides approximately 53.5cm of width per person, which is narrower than a standard single bed.

The super single is best suited to a single adult who wants more width than a standard 90cm single, or who requires the longer 200cm length. For couples sharing regularly, a standard double (135cm x 190cm), small double (120cm x 190cm), or king size (150cm x 200cm) is a more appropriate and comfortable choice. The super single's primary advantage is its length (200cm) combined with a width that is more generous than a standard single without requiring the floor space of a double.

To fully dress a super single bed, you need a super single fitted sheet, a duvet cover, and one pillowcase. The fitted sheet must be specifically sized for the super single (107cm x 200cm).

The complete super single bed bedding list:

• Fitted sheet (107cm x 200cm) - must be specifically labelled as super single
• Duvet cover (135cm x 200cm) - standard single size is typically used
• Pillowcase - standard UK pillow is 48cm x 74cm; one is standard
• Flat sheet (180cm x 275cm) - optional

The fitted sheet must be specifically super single size. Always confirm dimensions before purchasing, as this is a less standardised size than single or double.

Super single is a less standardised size in the UK market and is not universally stocked by all bedding brands. Always confirm dimensions and measure your mattress before ordering.

The super single (107cm x 200cm) is sometimes confused with the small double (120cm x 190cm), both are wider than a standard single but the dimensions differ in both width and length. The fitted sheet is the critical item to get right, as an incorrect size will either bunch loosely or fail to cover the mattress corners properly. Belledorm stocks super single fitted sheets in several fabric qualities, choosing the correct size ensures a secure fit with no movement overnight.

A super single measures approximately 107cm x 200cm, wider than a standard single and longer. A long single measures 90cm x 200cm, the same length but 17cm narrower. Both are longer than a standard single (90cm x 190cm) but differ in width.

The long single is for tall adults who need extra length but are comfortable with standard single width. The super single is for those who want both extra width and extra length compared to a standard single. Both share the same 200cm length. If your primary concern is length (you are over 6ft), a long single is the practical choice. If you want more width as well as length, the super single is more appropriate, though availability is more limited in the UK market.

UK single bed bedding from Belledorm follows the standard dimensions used across the British bedding industry, though fitted sheet depth varies depending on your mattress.

Fitted sheets are available in three depths: standard 30cm (12 inches) for mattresses up to 22cm deep, extra deep 38cm (15 inches) for mattresses up to 30cm deep including those with toppers, and ultra deep 46cm (18 inches) for the deepest luxury and adjustable mattresses. Always measure your mattress depth - including any topper or protector - before selecting a fitted sheet depth.

A standard Belledorm single fitted sheet (90cm x 190cm) fits a UK single mattress measuring 90cm wide by 190cm long - the most common single bed size in the UK, found in the majority of single beds, day beds, and children's beds.

The fitted sheet's length and width dimensions are fixed to the mattress size. What varies is the depth - the box measurement that wraps under the mattress edge. Belledorm offers single fitted sheets in 30cm (standard), 38cm (extra deep), and 46cm (ultra deep) depths to accommodate mattresses from basic 15cm sprung models through to luxury 35cm+ pocket sprung mattresses with toppers. If your single mattress is longer than 190cm - as is the case with some European and custom mattresses - a standard UK single sheet will not fit and you should check the long single range.

A UK single bed measures 90cm x 190cm (3ft x 6ft 3in). A small double measures 120cm x 190cm (4ft x 6ft 3in) - the same length but 30cm wider. The two sizes use entirely different bedding and sheets are not interchangeable.

The small double (also called a 4ft double) is a popular choice for guest rooms, teenagers, and adults who want more width than a single without committing to a full double. A single fitted sheet will not stretch to fit a small double mattress - attempting to do so will result in the sheet pulling free from the corners. If you are unsure which size your mattress is, measure the width: 90cm is single, 120cm is small double, 135cm is double.

Yes, a standard UK single bed (90cm x 190cm) is suitable for most adults, though taller adults over 6ft 3in (190cm) may find the length restrictive and should consider a long single (90cm x 200cm) instead.

Single beds are the standard choice for children aged 8 and above, teenagers, and adults in single-occupancy rooms, student accommodation, and holiday lets. The 90cm width is comfortable for a single sleeper of average build. For adults who move around during sleep or prefer more space, a small double (120cm x 190cm) provides significantly more room without requiring a full double bed frame. Belledorm's single sheet range covers 126 products across all fabrics and depths, from Basics Polycotton from £8.50 through to 100% Mulberry Silk from £234.60.

To fully dress a single bed, you need a fitted sheet, a duvet cover, and at least one pillowcase. A flat sheet is optional but recommended for those who prefer a layered or hotel-style bed setup.

The complete single bed bedding list:

• Fitted sheet (90cm x 190cm) - in your chosen depth: 30cm, 38cm, or 46cm
• Duvet cover (135cm x 200cm) - sized for a single duvet
• Pillowcase - standard UK pillow is 48cm x 74cm; housewife or Oxford style
• Flat sheet (180cm x 275cm) - optional, used between the fitted sheet and duvet
• Mattress protector - recommended to extend mattress life and add a hygiene layer
• Valance sheet - optional, used to conceal the bed base and divan legs

All items above are available in matching fabrics and colours across Belledorm's single range, making it straightforward to build a coordinated set from a single fabric family.

Yes, UK single bed sheet dimensions are standardised across the industry: fitted sheets are 90cm x 190cm, flat sheets are 180cm x 275cm, and duvet covers are 135cm x 200cm. Belledorm's single 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. The duvet cover size (135cm x 200cm) is also worth noting: it is designed to fit a single duvet tog, not a double duvet. Using a double duvet (200cm x 200cm) inside a single cover will result in bunching and poor fit. If you are buying bedding as a gift or for a property you cannot measure, standard UK single dimensions apply to the overwhelming majority of single beds manufactured since 2000.
