Size Guides
Compare measurements and choose the right linen size for your home, property or project. Check the dimensions of the item you are fitting before ordering.
Use these bedding and linen size guides to compare duvet covers, fitted sheets, pillowcases, protectors, towels and curtains for South African homes, hotels and guesthouses. Start with the item you need, then check its measurements against the product size options before ordering.
What to measure before choosing your linen
- Fitted sheets: measure the mattress width, length and full depth, including any topper that sits beneath the sheet. Check the pocket depth as well as the bed size.
- Duvet covers and pillowcases: measure the inner or pillow itself. Match its width and length to the relevant guide rather than relying on the size name alone.
- Flat sheets, blankets and bedspreads: allow for the amount of overhang or tuck-under you want, as well as the mattress dimensions.
- Curtains: check the track or rod width, required finished drop and heading style against the curtain guide.

Common linen sizing questions
Will a standard fitted sheet fit a mattress with a topper?
Check the combined mattress and topper depth against the fitted sheet pocket. If the available sizes do not match your measurements, use our custom linen sizing service to discuss the finished size you need.
What should I send for a hotel or multi-room order?
List each room or bed type with its mattress dimensions, the linen items required and the quantity of each size. Keep duvet-inner and pillow measurements separate so the quotation can match the full linen set.
Where can I get help with a size that is not listed?
Send your measurements, preferred fabric and quantities through our custom linen enquiry, or contact Linen and Co before ordering.
Choose your fabric and finish
Once you have checked the fit, compare our bedding fabrics, browse bed linen and use the linen care guides for the product you choose. For window treatments, see curtains and blinds and the blind measurement guide.
