Australian Quilt & Quilt Cover Sizes 

When buying a Quilt Cover Set  for your doona, it's important that you buy the right size - not just for aesthetic reasons, but also comfort and warmth, too. As an Australian company, The Honest Label's Quilt Cover Sets are sized for the Australian market. Australian Quilt Cover Set sizes differ from the rest of the world's, so please make sure you measure your quilt and / or mattress carefully before choosing the correct size for your bed and needs. 

The Honest Label photographs its Quilt Cover Sets on Queen Beds using a King Size Quilt and Quilt Cover, creating an overhang either side of the bed. To achieve this look, we'd recommend going up in mattress sizes (so if you have a Double Size Bed & Mattress, go for a Queen Size Quilt and Quilt Cover). The benefits of upsizing also extent to warmth and comfort - there's less likelihood for drafts, and you won't be left out in the cold if your partner likes to hug the duvet!

Australian Sheet Set Size Guide

Our Sheet Sets are made to fit Australian sized mattresses, so if you're shopping from overseas, please make sure to measure your mattress carefully so you choose the correct size for your bed before checkout. Our Sheet Sets fit standard Australian mattress depths at 40cm, but if you have an unusually deep mattress, or a very thick topper, you may need a deeper fitted sheet.

FAQs - Sheet Sets and Sizes

What are the best bed sheet fabrics?

It really comes down to personal preference and needs. Natural fabrics, such as Cotton and Linen, are breathable - allowing you to stay warm in winter and cool in summer. Natural fabrics tend to be more textured, which isn't to everyone's preference. Man-made fabrics are often silkier and softer to the touch, and lighter (so often the preferred bed linen material chosen by those who live in warm or humid places). 

Are There Different Sized Queen Sheets?

Queen Size mattresses have standardised widths and lengths, however the depth of a mattress can differ. Our 40cm Sheet Set depths should cover most mattresses, however if you have a very thick topper, or extra deep mattress, you might want to opt for sheet sets with a 50-60cm depth.

What are the pros and cons of cotton bed sheets?

Cotton is one of the most commonly used natural fibres for sheet sets, and for good reason! It is easy to care for, breathable, durable, and gets softer with every wash. When choosing cotton sheet sets, the quality of the cotton is very important. If you choose poor quality cotton, your bed linen may be prone to piling, shrinking or stretching. 

What are the different types of sheets?

Generally, there are two standard types of sheets: fitted sheets, and flat sheets. Both of these types of sheets come in our Sheet Sets, along with two standard pillowcases. Sheets can be made from different materials - some natural, some man-made. What you go for depends on whether you're a hot or cold sleeper, what you prefer in terms of texture and appearance, and what your budget is.
